My first time I didn't have a choice, I think I was admitted from the ICU. After that there has been numerous voluntarily and involuntary IPs. Some of the voluntary visits were hobson's choice, meaning I could check in myself or they would check me in, going in voluntary is always better.

Why don't you just call the doc who's been giving you your meds and tell them how bad it is and that the groups aren't helping right now. It's always best to go though your own doctor than an ER. Groups are better at therapy than hospitals especially in the US where they mostly just switch out meds and then send you out again.
