Is there a problem when your irratablity goes to a different level?

Question: I know you have mood swings and fits of depresion when you have bipolar which I've had for 11 years, but I've been off my meds for a while now and am now starting to get back on them. But i have some depression and mood swings and do think about hurting my self at times (I'm a cutter) but now I'm having thoughts of hurting other people very violently and even dream about it? And of course my favorite everyone is out to get me following me home or know something about me or something? Have i crossed some line here and should I just go to the hospital until I'm stable or just ride it out? Any thoughts?

Answers:
If I was having thoughts of violently hurting other people .. and you are just getting back on the meds.. I would definitely go to a hospital emergency room and be evaluated for a possible short stay. Good Luck with your decision ! :)

Do you see a doctor, psychologist or psychiatrist, as an out-patient like? If so I would call them first. You probably know best whether or not you are safe or are likely to hurt someone. If you think you might, go to the hospital now. Sorry your brain is screwing with you...
