Severe mania

My mania has been horrible the past month and a half, and it just won't stop. I can't stop spending money, driving recklessly, stealing, and I always have to be on the go go go or else I'm worthless. I do have suicidal thoughts, but they are pretty fleeting during my manic times. I've been having bad delusions, that everyone hates me and is plotting against me and that I'm always being watched. It's completely consuming for me, I can't think of anything else. I just don't know what to do. Should I go to the hospital?

Can you make an emergency appointment with your doctor? I would try that first but if you cannot get an appointment, I think you should go to the hospital so you can get stabilized.

Get in to see your PDoc. Your suicidal ideations are not pervasive so the ER will probably give you drugs and send you on your way.

I would go to emerg if you can't work with your psychiatrist especially when you're getting worse........

If you have a doc that can work one on one with your meds I would call your doc.and see if he/she thinks you should be admitted.... xo

You should, it seems your issues stem from both physical and emotional effects. If they cannot give you medicine for your issues, which is rare, they will at least refer you to a mental health team. They did that for me, and the mental health team gave me good support and helped me see things better. They saw me for 4 years. They were the only friends i had and my family didnt really show much concern.
