[QUOTE="stalln4x, post: 555159, member: 15244"] Thanks for the helpful responses again, esp. those of you with- BiPolar (BP). I'm amazed they let you adopt but that's awesome, MidwestMom. May I ask if you had any involuntary committments? Had you ever had drug problems in the past? I have no arrests but I do have an involuntary commitment on my record. Also, for whoever asked, I'm not adopted--I simply meant I smoked myself into oblivion again last week. Sober for real this time. I told my mom (who is with me now and she told my dad[who was going to come up and switch her in a couple days] and we moved my psychiatrist apt up to tomorrow. I skirted the fact I've been sui-you know what-al but didn't admit to downing all my sleeping pills (psychiatrist knows this). Maybe I wasn't trying to off myself, who knows. My mom asked if she should take me to a hospital and while I'm wondering if that might be a good idea. I think it's the Adderall but I get nervous, then a fake feeling inner happy, then panicky. I've been extremely suicidal today and the last day or two and Adderall, while useful for studying sometimes, essentially makes me feel confident 1/3 of the time, anxious for 1/3, and then BAM-KILL-YOURSELF-NOW-THIS IS THE REALITY YOU CREATED the rest of the time. I'm half considering checking into a mental hospital but then college is over for sure. [/QUOTE]
