Hi Everyone!  I had a manic episode one year ago and ended up in grippy sock jail where I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. I started to think today of what my family members can do to get me stabilized the next time I’m manic. Last time I was throwing things around and breaking stuff and my parents didn’t know what to do so they took me to the mental hospital. Next time this happens can I go to the ER and just stay there for a few days or would I need to go stay in a Mental hospital? Really trying not to go back to grippy sock jail as it was pretty traumatizing but I would probably need to be stable if I’m manic again. I’ve only ever had 1 manic episode before but I wanna prepare for the future
