My bipolar disorder is like that. I'm in treatment, but it's only a matter of time before there is another episode. It is hard.
I've been IP several times, some places were a bad experience. If you need IP, try a different facility? If you are feeling out of control...let the staff know right away. The nurse may be able to give you a pill to relax you.
If you are being abused, file a complaint. You deserve to be safe. It's a place to heal. Seclusion is typically a last resort to keep you and other patients safe.
