Hi BP! I'm sorry to hear you are confused. (((((bp))))
I would say going to the hospital if you feel unsafe, and feel you couldn't handle it without 24/7 support.
But sometimes it's hard to realize that when one is really not OK.
I think that is great that you are trying to prevent a crisis, that says a lot about you wanting to be active in taking care of yourself.
Are you in therapy? T is often the best to help us know if we need a change in treatment...just because they really know us...at least in my case, my pdoc sees me only once a month, and can't really tell.
But I guess that's not a very good advice. Your pdoc, should be the one to asses your need of hospitalization or change in treatment.
Hang in there,..
Let us know how things go...
