Something that is true of my life is I have this pathological desire to burn bridges, and the past. I just have this immense desire to tell people off, to gain the sense of relief that comes with no longer having to worry about their feelings. I quit jobs dramatically and on the spot. I told my professors and advisor in my department that I don't care about my major, and I don't plan on doing anything with it. I also love the feeling that comes with going against the grain and being a

I constantly feel this bubble of anxiety swell up inside of me until it bursts with me doing something very self destructive. I feel like I have ruined my life many times over by doing such things.What is this problem symptomatic of? I was been diagnosed with major depressive disorder when I was 15 and the diagnosis has never changed or been amended. I wish I could just be levelheaded and not have this impulse which haunts me time and time over.

That's going to get harder as you get older. Since you are not interested in a Degree then Stop going. Finish the classes you may be in. Get the best grade you can then Don't sign up for any more. Your Not burning the bridges IF you decide later in life to go back you can.

Are you on any strong drugs????for your depression????maybe that's part of the problem....you say you were diagnosed at 15 years with no changes or amends up to now...maybe you need a new diagnosis or some amends.How many years since your diagnosis?

MY diagnosis of major depressive disorder has never changed. I take Citalopram. I've been in mental hospitals before. I am just an incredibly depressed person. I probably have some sort of personality disorder as well that has never been diagnosed.

How intuitive of you to think you have a personality D/O.
Look at the symptoms of Impulse Control Disorders and Antisocial Personality and see if these look/feel familiar.

Having the awareness that something is not right is a giant step to wellness.

have you considered if this is a learned behavior. Do you see this behavior in your parents (or the person/people who raised you)?
