They tweaked my meds and I went home. 3 days later I left the house and drive for 23 hours ending up in a different state. I outran 2 cops, took all my psych meds to try to OD, texted my friends and time them I was never coming home. A cop found me parked behind a building peeing and took me to the police station. My husband had to pick me up hour away. I since home Andy therapist refuses to see me for 30 days due to my breaking all boundaries and rules I have hurt many loved ones. I need support. Still manic as HEXK.

I have one big piece of advice... Get on the phone, get online, do whatever yo can to find a new therapist immediately. Any therapist that would refuse to see a patient basically because you are too sick? Wow. Seriously. Call around and explain briefly you are in a major crisis and your therapist refuses to see you because he/she says you are basically too "sick" to deal with. Try not to ramble, see where it goes, but keep trying. Find a good therapist, you need one, especially in times like these. That's 100% unethical of your therapist. Any fool knows you can't treat bipolar disorder with "tough love." I mean, it's like if you had a heart condition and your doctor refused to see you because he found out you ate a cheeseburger!
