Have you ever been a danger to yourself?

Post Reply New Topic

From the ages of 12-16 I played with M-80 firecrackers blowing stuff up. I almost had them blow up in my hand at least three times does that count?

I've been very careless. The most risky thing's ive done are drive really fast in the middle of the night while drunk and on half a packet of sleeping medication. I've also been very unwise with psychotic drugs, taking stuff like LSD and smoking marijuana with friends, despite repeated episodes of near mental break downs/stupid behavior/ generally deteriorating mental health.

I often put myself in social situations with friend's repeatedly in which I could be paid out on while on drugs. I often

Yes all the time - not in the sense that i might try to kill myself, but more about that i never look when crossing the road this is the one i think that is likely to get me hurt the most - i have nearly been run over by buses, vans, cars both when walking and when i have been on my bike which when im on i also dont signal when im going to turn either but at least i wear a bike helmet

I also get lost easily, forget when im running bath, cooking or making something to eat - i also offend people ALOT not on purpose or anything and been in quite a few fights because of it

I also tend for what ever reason - go days at a time without food or drink, i cant explain it, its like i know im hungry or at least feel hungry yet i dont want to eat something

Yes. Both intentionally (having been suicidal several times) and unintentionally (forgetting to take medications, being careless on my bicycle and when walking).

Ive been a danger to myself a few times especially when I have a meltdown and I start throwing things about the room and putting my fist through things such as a mirror for instance or a wall I have cut my hand many a time punching in a mirror or throwing glass cups around that is why I only have plastic cups, bowls, plates, knives, forks and spoons in my place now and there is no glass anywhere to be seen. I also keep all my good stuff in cupboards up high away from me so if I have a meltdown I dont destroy expensive figurines. I am more likely to be a danger to other people than myself which is disturbing because I tend to go for anyone that is in front of me and hurt them when I am having a meltdown I have thrown TVs, guitars, anything I can get my hands on at people and my Mum, I have belted my father up and badly hurt my sister when I had a meltdown one day. I have kicked a neighbour upstairs door in at the units Im at I have belted in my nextdoor neigbours door and abused them and have thrown things at my friends and yelled at them. I dont mean too and I am ashamed of doing it I find it extremely embarassing and I tend to go quiet for days afterwards I just dont know how to control it I get depressed and I feel horrible.

I used to avoid setting up doctors appointments for fear of what the doctors might say, judge me, etc after some bad experiences. As a teen this was really bad and I actually did some internal damage to my colon area because I didn't report something to the doctor that I was too embarrassed over.

I will walk home in the worst conditions even if I have money for a taxi because the taxi drivers are so bigoted, stupid, rude, etc, etc these days.

Not sure if that applies, just my two cents.
