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.
Your instincts are telling you that you need to be somewhere safe and you need to get help. If you go in on your own, then you can check out on your own....the only way it can turn into a 'non-voluntary' thing is if your a danger to others, or you are severely suicidal and have a plan. Going in on your own now, before things get to that point is the right thing for you to do.
Hang in there and take care.
