So my T said the incident from Saturday night (see full post here http://forums.psychcentral.com/showthread.php?t=173540) was indeed a psychotic episode. She said they sometimes happen with people with bipolar disorder. She was going to talk to my pdoc about it.

The thing is she said if it happens again to either call her or my pdoc immediately. She said she would recommend immediate hospitalization and my pdoc probably would too. That's kinda where we left it, we ran out of time. I'm uncomfortable with this. What's going to happen if I call them? Are they going to send an ambulance? Are they going to send someone from a mental health facility (if there are people here who do that)? Or am I going to end up with swat at my house again and basically get arrested and taken to the hospital again. I want to know how this is going to be handled. What is she going to do?

Besides which the episode only lasted 30-45 min. I've been fine ever since. By the time they got me to a hospital it could very well be over and I could be back to my stable bipolar self...and I'm going to be med-change resistant because I would much rather learn to deal with occasional psychotic episodes than possibly mess up the stability I've got going on with my bipolar disorder by goofing with meds. And, this is the first time this has happened who's to say it will happen again. On the other hand, should I have a bag packed for the hospital incase it does? IDK... very upset. Any ideas?
