I have high functioning autism. As a result I have trouble with emotional regulation and impulse control and sometimes have meltdowns. When I was younger I'd often hit my parents if I was overwhelmed by a situation. I still do this occasionally but I'm really trying to stop. I've never given them any serious injuries. I used to always feel terrible afterwards. However, more recently, I'm finding sometimes violence makes me happy. I've read violent stories for pleasure. I'm fighting the urge to do this right now. Also, for about a year now I've had thoughts of hurting child family members. One in particular annoyed me last Thanksgiving and I feel an urge to get back at him. Also, I used to play with knives. I don't think this is my autism anymore. I do have some mental illnesses and hormonal imbalances and as a result am on 7 medications. I'm wondering if this could be either from another condition or be a med side effect. I'll talk to professionals but if its from a med I don't think there is any way to know which one since I'm on so many. Enjoying the violence or wanting to be violent isn't who I used to be. I used to be vegan I was so anti-violence to living things and I still limit the animal products I eat. Prayers please, if that's not too much to ask? Update- Prayer has been answered.

If the one you see doesn't know, find another one, especially a psychiatrist who would be well studied in the mental/emotional effects of such medications. And first and foremost, call upon the Perfect Doctor. Admit your problem, and ask Him to wash those thoughts from you mind. Ask for His strength to turn your mind to different things when you realize you're starting to think about them again. God bless, praying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is I. Don’t be afraid.” 28 “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.” 29 “Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” 31 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?” Matthew 14th Chapter Do you have a church that you go to ,a Pastor?

With love-in Christ,Kwik I agree with Kwik. You say you enjoy violence, so the first thing you need to avoid is books that are violent and shows, movies. Instead of reaching for a violent book reach for the Word of God. When you fill your mind with His words the enemy will not have anyplace to put his thoughts. And yes please find a church that is Bible based with a good pastor and speak with him.... Blessings, RustyAngeL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With love-in Christ,Kwik Thank you. I have severe sensory issues so cannot handle music at church services (or anywhere) therefore I don't have a church. Do you think if I was to find a pastor he'd talk to me even if I didn't attend church services? I'm not sure what to expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think if I was to find a pastor he'd talk to me even if I didn't attend church services? I'm not sure what to expect. gerbilgirl I do dear one ,if he is a true man of God then his concern & top priority would be YOU not church attendance,the only thing is that you really would not have much to go on having never heard what he has to say or teach or preach etc......we really have to know something about WHO we are talking to & confiding in.....especially for male/female,,,,usually there are many Pastors that will have a church mother there with you & don't tend to put themselves or anyone else in a position that can appear something it is not,do you understand? I would personally feel much better if you knew who you were reaching out to & preferably a mature woman of God for right now.....? Can you PM me? I would like to talk to you about a couple of things privately With love-in Christ,Kwik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
