Dreams of suicide?

I've been drearming for months now about slitting my wrists. It's not something that I think about when I'm awake, or something that I realy think I want to do.

Has anyone else here had recurring dreams of doing harm to yourself?

 I have not.. I'm sorry you are having these dreams.  Perhaps if you are really confused by them or they bother you to make you wonder if you would "really" do something like this.. you should talk to a therapist.

altho.. I know I have had disturbing nightmares before and that does not mean I actually wish these nightmares upon myself or others.. 

I have a history of suicide attempts, and I am seeing a therapist.

It's bothersome to think of how contented and happy the thought makes me in the dream, and that there's no pain from slitting my wrists in the dream.

As for the attempts, I have never tried slitting my wrists, it's just too messy. It's not my style, I guess.

I like the idea of oblivion, but not of dying, if that makes any sense at all...

I know it's the depression, and I need to see my psychiatrist again...

Meds really can do wonders and you can easily feel normal again.

I know you say you have a history, could a new medication or maybe a medication that needs a dosage change be causing this? Definately call your therapist ASAP.

It could be caused by a change in meds. I hadn't thought of that.

Any change in meds is a real possibility.   In a way, WLS surgery ends one life and begins another.   I'd think about the dreams as metaphor and be in touch with  your therapist(s) immediately and frequently.

Check out the side effects of your new medication - I do know that some medications have side effects of weird/scary dreams - my mother is on one and she has nightmares almost every night.

It is a VERY rare side effect... Maybe I'm one of the 4%.
