I recently entered a manic episode that I'm still
Trying to manage. I was under the impression that my husband of 22 years was leaving me so I went bonkers. I went to my therapist and told him I was going to kill myself. I tried to leave but he would not let me. He took me to an inpatient psych facility and I was involuntarily admitted for a week. They tweaked my meds and I went home. 3 days later I left the house and drive for 23 hours ending up in a different state. I outran 2 cops, took all my psych meds to try to OD, texted my friends and time them I was never coming home. A cop found me parked behind a building peeing and took me to the police station. My husband had to pick me up hour away. I since home Andy therapist refuses to see me for 30 days due to my breaking all boundaries and rules I have hurt many loved ones. I need support. Still manic as HEXK.

Welcome Noel,
I am surprised they let you out after 3 days.
I would suggest that you perhaps enter into an intensive out patient program. IOP
It sounds like you are not being properly medicated. I can't believe your therapist won't see you when you are obviously so ill and need her support.
just wanted to respond to your post.
Glad that you are here.

Welcome Noel,

I'm sorry that you went through all that, but glad you came through. Bizi has good ideas; see if you can get into an IOP. I see that you have a therapist, and must at least have a GP, but do you have a psych doc? That might be another step toward finding the right meds for you.

Welcome to PC bipolar sub forum. In hopes you find peace and the right treatment.

Sorry all that happened. IOP does sound like a good option and will help get you a place to talk until you see your T again

Sorry you went through all of that.
IOP sounds like a very good option right now.

Hi Noel,

That must have been terrifying for you, the idea that your husband was leaving you?

I am glad you are okay.
I cannot imagine a therapist not seeing you when you need help. Did your therapist give you other options, perhaps?

I agree with Bizi and everyone, either inpatient stabilization or an Intensive Outpatient Program may benefit you tremendously.

Take excellent care of you!

Welcome to the forum. I'm sorry about what you are going through. I agree, an Intensive Outpatient program would likely be helpful (and of course individual therapy if the IOP does not include that since some do not).
Mania really is hell. You have support here!

Welcome to the forum. I hope you stay active here, you'll receive a lot of support.

That's unfortunate your therapist won't see you. I don't understand that!

Keep us posted. Thinking of you.

hello and welcome to the forum (and especially the BP section)

hope it helps

Welcome Noel! So glad you sought support here, you will find it. Just keep posting as you need. You have been through so much. It must have been so traumatic so I agree you need as much support as possible. Do you have a psychiatrist? If so can you see them urgently to assess your situation and medication. IOP is a good idea, unless you are suicidal, then it is best to be inpatient. Keep us updated. I wish you all the best.

Welcome to PC. I'm so sorry for all you have been through, and are going through right now. I agree with others who suggested an intensive outpatient program (IOP). I hope you will stick around and keep talking with us, it can really help. (((Hugs)))

I have one big piece of advice... Get on the phone, get online, do whatever yo can to find a new therapist immediately. Any therapist that would refuse to see a patient basically because you are too sick? Wow. Seriously. Call around and explain briefly you are in a major crisis and your therapist refuses to see you because he/she says you are basically too "sick" to deal with. Try not to ramble, see where it goes, but keep trying. Find a good therapist, you need one, especially in times like these. That's 100% unethical of your therapist. Any fool knows you can't treat bipolar disorder with "tough love." I mean, it's like if you had a heart condition and your doctor refused to see you because he found out you ate a cheeseburger!
