Plus, I know I screwed a lot of people over by doing this. It wasn’t intentional. I just kept on having huge breakdowns right before I was supposed to go into work. In addition to that I sent a bunch of embarrassing, crazy tweets to famous youtubers with my account using my real name. (The worst part is I actually got some responses back) I spent well over $1000 on a camera and video recording equipment believing that I am going to become a youtube star. Again, I am broke. Also, I keep on impulsively going to fast food restaurants and buying a TON of food that I don’t need (I will easily spend $50+) for god knows why. I just feel convinced that I need it at the time. Just about every night I am up till 4 am playing video games and then wake up again around 7 and game some more. I keep fluctuating between doing these random, crazy things and feeling extreme depression and shame for doing them. I felt so embarrassed over some of these things that I’ve had feelings of wanting to harm myself. I don’t know if making an emergency appointment with my pdoc will suffice or if I need IP at this point. I am gradually getting worse. I really hate IP and want to avoid it at all costs. Please help me…

As a fellow sufferer, I can only say that I’ve felt what you’re feeling and my behaviors were diagnosed as a mixed episode.
No one — no one — hates IP more than me (maybe because I had 3+ years of it). That said, I think that it’s your best option at this time.
My experience has been that my pdoc will tell me to go in through the ER for admission, but you should talk to your pdoc first and follow their advice.
Good luck.
