Alright, about two months ago or more I was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder (II). As of late I have been bouncing in and out of an eating disorder while debating my habit of cutting again.Eating disorder wise I am 5'5'' and 1o4lbs. Cutting wise I haven't done it in the past two months.
My concerns and stress are piling higher due to the fact I'm starting to see how the bipolar seems to be causing issues when it comes to my grades at college. I have been in patient for 5.5 hrs in April but was only able to go on the fact I was not truthful and just wanted to leave. I am taking two medications (Lithium & Limictial) yet still gear shifting dramatically and having episodes such as wanting to kill myself and being worthless then violently shifting to being upset and breaking a very new and expensive pair of headphones and CD player.
The thing is I am seeing two very nice women to help me, my therapist and psychiatrist. I've been told my by therapist that inpatient is really a last resort for those who really have no other option. But the idea has been in my head for a while now. My question is how much would it cost and when whould be a right time? Should I just wait until another severe episode?
