I'm not suicidal or anything... I just don't want to be awake. I can't tell you how sorely tempted I am right now to take about 4mg of klonopin. It would be enough to knock me silly, but not a lethal dose by any stretch.
Someone please talk me out of it.

Medicated I know the feeling of not wanting to be awake. I feel that way almost every day. I don't think taking the klonopin to self induce sleep is a wise idea. Life is unbearable at times and we just got to wade our way through it. I wish I could offer more support but I'm not that good with words. Hoping you can pull through this without taking the klonopin.

Thanks VJ. I don't know why I'm suddenly feeling so depressed. A twitter friend suggested the hospital. Considering how I've swung from overtly manic to rather depressed within a week, maybe that's not such a bad idea after all...

Medicated,
The hospital may be a good idea, especially since you feel so low and are having self destructive behaviors and urges. I have been there too, many times before. The hospital has usually helped me in the past. A place to rest without having to worry about anything other than your health and recovery. It's sort of a time out, a break.

I just called and left a message for my psychiatrist to call me back. If he thinks I need to be in the hospital, I'll do it.
I'm afraid of myself because I've been so unstable and so impulsive lately. I had the klonopin in my hand, all ready to swallow...

Psychiatrist just called. Told me to go to the hospital. He reassured me that it would only be for a few days. I hope he's right.

Been there, done that... its called self-medicating. I did it on and off for years before I was diagnosed but I know that I cannot self-medicated (even with what I am prescribed, I have to take it according to instructions) and expect recovery. Good for you for telling on your disease. My prayers will be with you

I've been in that boat too - well done for resisting the urges
