I’m sorry for your loss.

When I was depressed, I had very frightening impulses to walk under buses and other catastrophic things. There was no planning. I was depressed, but did not want to end my life at all. However, these thoughts plagued me during that time and I found myself standing by the kerb waiting for a suitable vehicle to come past when i sort of ‘woke up’ to what I was doing and hurried home, where I called for immediate help.

I didn’t and don’t understand it now, but I think it fits with the impulse control you are talking about. In depression, perhaps my impulses became very bleak even if it wasn’t at all what I actually wanted to do.

Once again, I’m so sorry.
