My mother would never have me admitted to get treatment.. Even when I tried to kill myself, no matter how spontaneous or crazy my life gets.. She just keeps loving me and always helps me pick up the pieces.. so I guess I'm wandering how would I know if I needed to be admitted inpatient.. I don't even see a doctor.. I'm literally a walking talking roller coaster n I am starting to realize after much reading n research that this is not how I want to be forever n I'm not able to fix myself.

How wonderful that your mother supports you. Really, no one in my family will even discuss it. If you are on the Bipolar forum, I imagine you must have some kind of diagnosis...or maybe taken a quiz? The first thing you absolutely need to do is see a therapist. Haha, you thought I was going to say doctor
 No, see a therapist first. Find one that will get you in quick. Like tomorrow. Then, from there, determine what should be done. If you need to go inpatient the therapist can help you figure that out. If you need to find a Psychiatrist, therapist will encourage that too. Just know this...six days ago, I wouldn't have said any of this, but there is hope. I avoided the Pdoc for over 7 years. And I suffered. Finally I went and got appropriate meds and now I see everything differently and have hope. There is treatment and there is another way. You have to seek it out. Let us know.

I have been diagnosed bp1 severe anxiety agoraphobia n PTSD.. I live in a very small community n finding a therapist is seeming impossible ... Monday I went to 3 different places(which is hard for me to do I hate any public places I don't feel safe) only to be turned away by two n pathways told me they could make me an app for weeks out.. And yes I have a great family but Im not sure if sometimes they enabling my illness instead of helping it. They have the best intentions. Today is the first day iv been able to think clearly in weeks n the guilt I carry makes me sad. Im 30 with 2 kids n I'm tired of hurting my family n kids. I just wanna be able to be the mother my mother taught me to be and enjoy it. I know having clear thought won't last long n I really do want help.

Have you tried finding a counselor online?
Go ahead and take that weeks out appointment. It's frustrating to wait, but worth it. |

I'm not sure how close the next town/city is to you. If not too far. Also if you have insurance you can call. And ask for a list of providers in the town/cities that surround you.
