SO IMPULSIVE

Can't stop wanting to quit, or get divorced, or physically run out the door, or shag someone I fancied when I was 15, or shave my eyebrows off or dye all my hair even though I'm growing it out. I feel like a nutcase, and it's a constant - it's been this way for so long. When I don't channel it into anything, I get super self destructive and usually go for the alcohol or self harm.

What does this mean and how do I stop this? I've got no discernible talent, but I still get it when I'm creative / productive. Feels like chaotic ants in my brain.

Can you stand back and analyse your urges? Difficult to advise from what you've said.
Feeling separate from society and its norms is normal for some of us

I have found exercise works- yoga makes me v grounded and running takes me out of myself. Eating properly and promethazine (anti histamine) for sleep when I am buzzy.
