I didn't see your other posts before this one, but I can see you're a very caring person and are seeking help for the other people in your life. That's very unselfish and brave. Sometimes we only have others to lean on and they carry our hope when we have none. Definitely let us know how you are doing whether or not you go to the hospital.
I love PC. Everyone I've met in the bipolar forum has been kind and conscientious. It is a welcome break from the "real world." Glad you have had the same experience as I have.
Sending you
