I get worked up from time to time and it tends to result in me self harming, either by scratching or cutting or mixing pills and alcohol, also I recently got worked up and locked myself in a room repeating make it stop over and over, huddled in a corner with my fingers in my ears and elbows round head, which I know sounds pathetic, especially because it was just because I couldnt see myself meeting the target of work Id set myself. I have exams coming up as a lot do and I know its normal to expect stress but I feel as if my behaviour could affect my performance in them. Is this behaviour worth consulting a doctor about or is it likely to be seen as within the realm of normality?
His had gone through your query. You seem to have suicidal ideation with impulsivity. It can be a part of severe depression or borderline personality trait. Alcohol abuse with medicines seems to be like severe psychological distress. You will require indoor psychiatric care with rehabilitation. Detail psychological work up will give more idea about diagnosis and treatment. It can be treated with multi modality approach that include medicines, Psychotherapy and counseling, rehabilitation etc. Consult psychiatrist and get further assistance. Thank you. Get well soon. Still if you have query then feel free to ask.
