Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
I am extremely depressed again/still today. I've been crying all day and thinking of ways to injure myself so I can go to the hospital and just be around people, get some attention. I just forced myself to clean my apartment. After I got it done I thought to myself there now if emergeny worker have to come in here it won't be a mess. What the hell/where did that come from. I just need to hang in there. Wednsday I see my therapist hopefully that will help me feel better.

My heart goes out to you. Do you really think you should wait until wed. when you are feeling so bad? Good idea to clean your place---something to keep your mind focused. Please know that you are not alone and I really think maybe you should go to the ER because you have been going thru alot these past few days and are totally stressed out. Maybe you need a break to get away from things and take care of you. The hospital would be the safest place and they will adjust your meds. xoxoxo

have you been to the hospital before? what is it like?
deleted_user
Think I will try to stick it out till monday. Pretty sure I can keep myself safe until then. I'll call and talk to my pdoc monday and see if I can get in sooner. Starting tomorrow night I have lots to keep me busy till then.

If you feel the need, go to the hospital before your doc appt. And please don't injure yourself. You're doing a great job of keeping busy. Take care of yourself!

I checked in voluntarily to the hospital once, and it helped me a lot. We had group therapy sessions and I met with a doctor, therapist, and social worker every day. It's not exactly fun but I recommend it for anyone who is feeling really badly.

The hospital isn't that bad really. In fact I am weir and kind of like it there. That is where the problem lies I think. I've used it as a coping skill way too much. I think that's why they are saying if I go back I will be put in Adult Foster Care.

That sucks. when I was a juvenile I was in D.O.C. from the age of 12 to about 17 in and out. They say I was institutionalized so when I feel crazy I want to go but I nver have
deleted_user
Yeah, it sucks that they do that. I feel kind of stupid posting this stuff on here, cause I guess I know people are going to tell me to go to the hospital and I kind of already know what I'm going to and need to do. I guess it just feels good to get it out and in the open. Thanks for listening to my whiny ass.

Is there an other hospital or city hospital near by
deleted_user
You are not stupid for posting anything. I didn't understand your situation.xxoxo
deleted_user
The closest one is Kalamazoo, that has a psyche unit. Well, I could go to Indiana, South Bend is closer. I think I'll just tough it out though. Thanks for being so supportive everyone.
deleted_user
I do hope you can tough it out, but there is no shame in going back to the hospital. I personally don't ever want to go back, but if I need to, I will. I hope you feel better soon!!!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
