I have only had to go to the hosp. or my dr. twice. As you all probably know it is like being naked to the world when you have to explain yourself. The first time I went alone and lied. This time I am unsure, I am dealing with panic and agoraphobia, so I would have to have my husband with me, and I am not an alarmist, I don't go to the hosp casually. I was positive I needed medical attention the other times, but this time I really don't know if I do, or if it is just the anxiety thing. ideas?

I am bipolar w/ panic anxiety disorder. I engage in SI and am desperate to stop. I am rarely manic, but almost always depressed. I have become extremely agoraphobic, to the point I do not go out on my front porch anymore. My husband is my "safe" person. If I have to leave, it is with him. I have three amazing children and overwhelming stress (NOT caused by them, of course) My greatest fear is that I am not shielding them from this behavior enough. |

I think that's something you'll need to gauge for yourself -- we can't see the depth of it, etc, over the Internet, after all. You should probably err on the side of caution, though. Being honest about it is the first step toward getting help stopping.
Do you have meds for the panic that would allow you to get calm enough to leave the house? |

Just take a deep breath and go for it.... We all know it can be absolutely daunting, but at the end of the day, if something really needs sorting out, it needs to be done!
