Thanks, I just know I don't have a choice if I stand any chance of staying out of the hospital or, God forbid, making an attempt on my life. Things get that bad for me that fast. My pdoc and T know that all too well and have worked really hard with me getting me to this point where I am proactive rather than reactive as much as possible.

At this point I am in proactive mode. I hope I can stay there long enough for meds to kick in. That's the thing about bipolar disorder. When an episode gets severe, it really becomes a medical issue; therapy is really pretty useless at this point other than to work through crisis plans.

So far today I'm not too bad, but being here with 30 teenagers tends to be distracting. The test will be when they walk out of the room in about 20 minutes. It doesn't take long for that depression to wake up.
