I am scared of something very scary. I've scared of killing myself in a moment of depression and insanity. Specifically I am afraid I will jump off the Golden Gate Bridge in May on the Babbletrip.

The thing is, most times I don't want to die, but sometimes I get impulsive. When I get in a bad way now, I will still think of ODing. I've OD'd in the past, only once was serious enough to end up in the hospital and locked for 3 days in the psych ward. I did not want to die that time, but I still OD'd. I am afraid I will kill myself without intention.

I think and hope I will be OK, but if I feel like I am losing my mind I get scared. So far I am still going to work on time and am planning for fun things to do at SF. I think I will be OK.

Just this Dr. Bob thing has recently become more of an obsessive unrequited love type of thing and I am afraid the borderline me will surface and I might escalate in harmful behaviours in order to try to get Dr. Bob to respond to me.

Now, I don't believe I truly want to die because I am saving money and have plans to save more money. Plus I am planning on getting my degree finally. In other words, I am planning for my future and plan to live to be very old. I am just afraid of what I might do in a moment of borderline impulsiveness in order to get Dr. Bob to respond and give me attention.

Specifically I am afraid I might go to the Golden Gate Bridge, threaten suicide and hope that Dr. Bob or babblers save me and when they don't I jump and kill myself in my state of borderline dysphoria.

I have been somewhat obsessed with the bridge for many months now, imagining myself jumping off it, even searching for youtube videos of people jumping off it.

I don't want to die, but with the recent escalation in attention seeking behaviours in an effort to get Dr. Bob to give me attention, I am just worried that it might escalate some more and get dangerous.
