Crazy Episode

[Banvard]

I have felt depressed today, more than usual. I had an episode a couple of hours ago. My arm started twitching with repeated moment; I sometimes banged my fist on a hand surface. I was repeatedly laughing and talking to myself, one side positive the other chiding and egging me on to kill myself. I got a knife and started pointing and pulling away from me. What happened to me? I’m feeling fine now, I would never go through with it, but what if I could not stop myself? It scares me, am I going crazy?

I dont think your crazy,i think maybe got to a point where it felt enough is enough and had a bit of a freak out,our brain is a complicated thing and can do weird things when its under lots of stress,which depression and anxiety cause in bucket loads.

As for the twitching thing,i use to get them a bit,i think its just because were so tense and were trying to fight it off the body has to find a way to release the tension.I really think you just had a brief lapse,if your really worried you should maybe speak to a doctor but i think (and hope) you will be ok

Thanks Danfalc, I feel a little calmer now, kind of regret posting it. It’s amazing what one beer will do. lol

Is the twitching in your left arm? I get that, it is adrenaline, fight or flight.

I am glad you are feeling better now, do you use relaxation techniques?

Peace

I can't really explain the twitching, it sort of feels like I'm in control, but I'm not.

I think it would be chemicals rushing through your system, relaxation would help. Deep breathing, yoga or simple distraction techniques, films, books, etc.

Thanks Fairy001, I downloaded some Tibetan Meditation Music by Nawang Khechog off itunes a couple of days ago. I'm hoping it'll help me.

Excellent, I am sure it will help, good luck with it.

Banvard, that sounds like an obsessive (thoughts about killing yourself/talking to yourself) compulsive (pointing knife at yourself) disorder, or OCD. It happens to me too, but in my case, I get the urge to hit my head against the wall.

your only crazy if you cant seperate fantasy from reality for a long period of time.
