I hope I can help by telling you you are not alone. I dont recall when my problems started, been there as long as I can remember. May be the blind leading the blind on this one, but I felt the need to reply. I had a lot of problems blowing up at everyone. I would be fine oneminute, then someone(mainly the people I love) could just look at me wrong, and I would fly off the handle. It is a horrible thing, you know you're doing it, dont know why, but can't stop. I have been on so many different meds. I finally took myself off all of them, got a new job that I loved and I am doing a little better. I cant say I still dont have spells. Oh how they some, but I am usually able to feel them oming on and I warn my husband(usually in a very rude, hateful voice) that it is going to be one of those days, and he watches out, and helps to make things run smooth.
I have seen somewhat of a pattern with myself, I get on meds, get off, then I am ok for about a year. Then it is like the viscous circle starts over again. I am a firm believer this is heratitary. My dad is bi-polar, me, 2 nieces (they are only 13,and 15 years old), my grandmother, and my greatgrandmother committed suicide.
I havent become a slicer, but I do hurt myself in other ways, I feel it makes the pain I amfeeling at that time, go away. My family is very concerned, and my hsband dont know how to deal with it. I am probally not helping much, just want you to know that you are not alone, I can relate with everything you said and I am here if you need to reply...

I have had a real problem with depression for the last seven years and I am only 19. I cut on myself and do hurtfull things to myself. I don't take it out on others though. You sound like my boyfriend. He is fine most of the time but when he gets mad or upset he hates the world. He loves his baby girl with all his heart. She is his world but when he gets in one of his moods he doesn't even care about her. She is living with her mother and so his is like so let her mother have her. He is getting better and is going into a hospital for a month. Maybe he can get some help then I can let you know how to help yourself.
