I used to have these moments of impulsivity you talked about, and the uh, severe severe boredom where you feel like stabbing a screw driver into your head.
But this was like when my depression was at its worst point.
I think the impulsivity comes from a feeling a lack of control, i could be wrong it’s just a guess but. Mine were brought on by the stress of the psychological issues I was facing that felt insurmountable. When you feel like you’re about to be crushed by a giant wave, there is this primal animal instinct to just, freak the fuck out.
Especially when nothing matters or you feel very detached, i.e, struggling with dissociation, and panic attacks.
Coupled with stress and the nihilism of depression, it all creates this lethal mixture that results in, impulsivity that might look insane to other people and, um. Suicide. It can result in suicide.
Sometimes when people commit suicide it’s actually more a loss of control. It sneaks up on you. You’re unwell for such a long time and then one day, for me at least, I just woke up one day not right in the head and, it can be really scary you know reaching a crisis point.
If you’re having suicidal thoughts or, dreams of suicide, or ideation... on a regular basis. Might be a good time to reach out to someone and talk about what’s going on. That way you can avoid reaching a crisis as, um. Being in one of those isn’t fun and uh, it can sneak up on you so. Like.... idk. Just, maybe check in with your wellness and stuff with a professional just to see how they think you’re doing and what would work for you to, start feeling better.
All the best man.
