I very rarely choose to go inpatient on my own. I can probably count on one hand how many times I've agreed to go, and two hands how many times they made me go. I have more depressive episodes than hypos but I have been admitted for both. I choose to go in when I am feeling actively suicidal or the complusions get too much to ignore.

I have been on a 72 hour hold when I was baseline, but my grandmother told them I was suicidal when I wasnt. I ended up being in there 5 days since it was over chirstmas and it was a public holiday. Its unfortunate that here they can hold you just because someone else didnt want to deal with you.

I hate going to hospital. I've been out for 2 years now and Im hoping to continue that trend.
