I was diagnosed bipolar 10+ years ago and usually my medications work great. Sometimes I get depressed but I know it’s just a chemical imbalance because nothing in my life triggered it, so I just power through it. But I got triggered recently and I can’t stop thinking about the situations that are bothering me. I’ve been breaking down a lot and crying. I thought about going to the ER but don’t know if they’d be able to help. I’m afraid of getting admitted because I have no one to take care of my pets if I’m not home. I have a psychiatrist but I think I need a therapist as well. I want to talk to someone in person. 

Has anyone had experience with going to the ER? I’m just wondering if it’s worth it. 

Thanks
