Hi, I'm new on here. My GP recomended I take a look.
I've never been a person who can accept help easily, but now, I know I need it, because I just want to get better !

I just don't know what to do. I'm 18, and found out I was asthmatic at 7. Ever since then its been really had for me, because my asthma is really bad.
For a year I have been taking the antidepressant citalopram. But now I am seriously depressed. I started self-harming and having psyhcological attacks. The last one, I wanted to hit my mum, I was punching myself, I even tried to jump of the balcony. And thats just not me !!!! The problem is, is that I don't remember doing it. I just feel I want to hurt myself. :banghead:
My GP is so nice and so understanding, I really really like her, and she's been helping me a lot, but when I get these impulses to hurt myself I just cant control it ! IT'S LIKE I EXPLODE :shocking:
I've had 3 seizures in the last month, and I don't know why !! I'm being tested for Epilepsy now too. !
It's just all too much ! I can't take it amymore !
I go to collage, which I love, because some day I hope to become a doctor ! And afterwards i just want to go home and shut myself in my room when my friends want to go shopping etc .. IM NOT NORMAL !


Someone please give me some advise, because I don't know what to do. I've seen a pshycatrist, and I'm now taking PROZAC and DIAZEPAM , as daily medication !
I just want this all to stop, as I have some really important exames in less than a month ! :crying:

Thank-you to anyone who can help :heart:

    No one's normal, dear. It's just that some of us are less normal than others.

    What you've got to remember here is that you're not in control of these episodes, therefore, you really shouldn't blame yourself. You're not well. It's like blaming someone who has a cold for sneazing.

    I'm not sure isolating yourself is the answer. You need all the support you can get from your friends and family.

    Keep posting and take care.

    Normal is an illusion. Most people fall into the category, yet each is suitably different to not be classes as "normal".

    You aren't abnormal, nor is there anything wrong with you. You're just facing a series of problems that many, many other people have also faced. And by that definition, you're as normal as everyone else. :)

    You may not of had chance to look at the site but there are lots of information ,advice and tips in helping with stress and other factors.

    You said you were feeling depressed have you spoken to your doctor, she may need to help by looking at the medication your taking? or offer some other form of therapy like counselling.
