Hello,

This is my first time posting so I am a little confused as to how to write this. Sorry if my writing gets a little disordered or there words don't make sense, my mind is just kinda racing.
I recently decided to seek out help and went to therapy and on the second session she suggested in-patient therapy. Like admitting myself for a few days to be evaluated, mostly because the past week I have continually been switching for one high to another. It isn't as bad as the past though, this has just been like three times, but she thinks it might help to further diagnose me and get proper medication.
As now I am on just 100 mg of lamictal and its been okay but doesn't help a lot. The thing I wanted to know is how did you face the fear, or if you had any for doing something like that such as getting evaluated or admitting yourself for a few days. For some reason it just scares me, I don't know what to tell my family, or if I should even tell them. I really do not want anyone to know, but there would be too many questions if I just dropped off the face of the earth for a few days. Then there is the whole thing of what if I am normal during that time? What if nothing is wrong those few days..I don't want them to think I am lying. I know that is absurd but it still bothers me and I am just lost as to how to go about this. Mostly I am just trying to accept what I am and get the proper help.
