This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
2nd, you are young...I did not realize the impact of being admitted to a mental hospital would have on my life. You cannot ever own a gun, you will not be sold one as a back ground check is conducted (granted this can be a good thing but what if you get better or need protection later in life), secondly it is harder if not impossible to get a life insurance policy as this will show up in your medical history, you cannot adopt or foster care children if you cannot conceive later in life or when all the kids move out and your in your 40's you want to help other children in need. Certain background checks will also disclose this information.
By all means hospitals are great and can save lives but know the consequences of going to one if your truely not in desperate need of one. Try the best outside help you can get first....
