Bizi is right - reach out for help earlier.

I agree. Even when the meds aren’t working well, I need to reach out to my pdoc and get them adjusted. I’ve asked him to call my parents if I no-show. I think I will be far less likely to that way.
Sometimes I need the hospital too. I had ECT there once, which was helpful until it kicked me into a mixed mania. Now it kinda scares me.
