Ever since I a tiny girl I would get urges that I acted on. Its like something would come over me and I would hurt myself completely from out of the blue. Overdosed on pills a few times when I was 6 years old, one of which was me consuming a large bottle of pills (aspirin). It hospitalized me accept I didn’t tell anyone that I took pills. They were going to take my appendix out the next day thinking it was that. I thought those urges and me acting on them was normal so I didn’t know that there was anything to tell. I wasn’t stupid and I was being verbally and s******* abused. Could it be from that or do I have a mental disorder?
I’m still getting these same urges, it happens when I feel too happy, sad, excited, or any strong emotion. I no longer act on these urges but I battle fighting them when it comes on. My family thinks I’m doing better because I’m not acting on them. Truth is I’m basically just burying things deeper down. Doctors want me on medication and I want to know whats wrong with me and exactly what is it that I’m dealing with here. I’m in favor of being placed on medication if I can find a doctor who will tell me what I’m being treated for so I can find the right support group to join. I would rather live with this problem than to allow doctors to only drug me up as they have done before.
