I don't want to go to the hospital again. I know that.

I haven't tried any other mood stabilizers or anti-psyches. New to it. I always thought I had depression with some hypo-mania that I could tolerate until this episode.

Thx everyone for the support.

Btw love the Tori quote she is my ultimate favorite musician. That felt so needed.

Welcome to the forum...I have been lucky with my disorder because I am a retired psych nurse. I actually told my Pdoc what I would take and what I would not take.She is very cooperative. My meds have kept me out of the hospital. It has been suggested a couple times that I go but I refuse because of my experience in the State Hosp. It was Hell in there. I actaully suffer from PTSD from working there. I am usually hypomanic and/or slightly depressed. Better than the deep hole of despair or being psychotic. I am just rambling so I will shut up. I hope you feel better soon. It sounds to me that you need a med assesment and possible change or adjustment.
