MDD, BD, anxiety, self harm...

I've been dealing with depression and self harm for about 7 years. I, only 3 years ago when it started getting worse, got help and began meds. I've been on meds ever since trying every drug out there and I finally found one that makes me feel better. I began cutting when I was 12 and it always madero feel better. At first they were only small scrapes. Then I moved to duller objects and started rubbing my skin hard. Making a swap burn/gouge. Then I started actually burning myself. I have not self harmed in 2 weeks. But I'm getting more anxious as time goes by and I'm feeling the need to self harm more and more. I'm feeling so depressed lately I want to take all of my meds. But my medications I'm prescribed are very thought out. The combination of all my meds would make me barely drowsy and most likely nauseous. I've tried to kill myself 4 times. Each time on overdose. I'm thinking of trying something else. Idk what to do. I'm just so stressed out I have a million things running through my mind and I don't know what most of tem are because they're moving to fast. I feel like my head is going to explode!!!! Please help!!!!

Destressing and relaxation techniques like breathing exercises, yoga, and exercise (walking, swimming etc) should be tried.

Hi!
I am sorry to hear about your medical problems. You need to urgently consult your psychiatrist again. Often a change in medication, and approach to cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) helps ward off self destruction, depression and self-harm.
Also, your therapist could find out what you like to do and channelizing your energy towards a combination things you like (music, dance, aerobics, watching movies, going out with friends etc) will keep you happily busy. Having a goal in life and working towards it will also channelize your energy in right direction. Please discuss with your psychiatrist on an urgent basis. Take care!

The medical advice given should not be considered a substitute for medical care provided by a doctor who can examine you. The advice may not be completely correct for you as the doctor cannot examine you and does not know your complete medical history. Hence this reply to your post should only be considered as a guiding line and you must consult your doctor at the earliest for your medical problem.
