What meds are you taking? I think you should tell your psychiatrist (not therapist) that you're having these really strong impulses to hurt someone else and yourself.  No that's not normal and someone should be told.

hon - you need to talk with your psychiatrist about the Celexa

 

Celexa, as you probably know, is yet another anti-depressant.  Even though your folks think that you may not have Bipolar but just major depression

you are not reacting to the anti-depressant as is intended

 

The Celexa, according to your post, is more than likely causing these disturbing symptoms.

 

You really need to talk with your psychiatrist as soon as possible.

As tabby already stated it is probably coming from the celexa. You are not having rational thoughts if you want to harm yourself or others. This needs to be taken very seriously and dealt with right now if it has not been already. You need to get help now even if it is having a family or friend drive you to the local ER right now for help.
