> thanks everyone for the suggestions on meds. I am checking myself into the local hospital here, voluntarily. My mother called the police on my yesterday because she is sick of seeing me depressed, miserable, unable to function, lying in bed for weeks at a time. She they gave me 3 options. Go to local hospital voluntarily, un-voluntarily, or move out by next Sunday.

> I chose option one, I have no insurance and they said they will accept me anyways. That's good, I will tell them I think I am bipolar or BPD. I need a better antidepressant (Lexapro wasn't doing it), and a mood stabilizer@!!!! I start my new job Jan. 7th and I need to get stabilized before then. I am sick of quiiting all my jobs because of my non-predicting mood swings/anger outbursts, etc.

Well, I'm with you in spirit. I've often thought about doing something like that, but I was under the impression that the hospital won't just admit you unless you're actively suicidal. At least that's what I've been told, that the only way I could get in was if I told them I was ready to commit suicide.Are you in the U.S.?
