I was depressed for solid month. I only got out of bed to work. My pdoc and therapist wanted me to go to the hospital. I was having auditory hallucinations, and I was mildly suicidal. I wasn't suicidal enough to be forced. I didn't go. I went to my therapist for an emergency appointment after I started getting really vivid visual hallucinations. I thought they were stress induced. She wasn't convinced. I felt fine mood wise. She said I looked even worse than before. Except, instead really depressed, I looked highly manic. I called off work today; because, right now, I know I'm manic. These lights in my bedroom look so much pretty than normal, and I feel rushes of energy flowing through my body. I'd much rather be depressed any day. I don't really want to go inpatient. I don't even know, if I qualify. Besides all of that, I don't want to lose my job. Ick.

It's hard to find the middle ground... not manic and not depressed but it is there somewhere you can find it. Keep posting and try to remember that with bipolar what is happening today may not be there tomorrow.

Well, I told someone what happened, and I ended up in the psych ward due to hallucinations. They said I could go willingingly, or it they would make go involuntary, due to how bad the hallucinations were. (They didn't seem to care about how bad my mood symptoms were until they saw them rear their ugly heads on the unit. That's another story for another time.) I am out now, and I do feel much better. Thanks for the support guys!
