Question if there is online self-test to determine if I need to go to mental hospital

NAS73676

How do a self-questioner test to determine if I am a danger to myself or others to go to mental hospital? I can check myself in if I meet this criteria, it's just that my symptoms of Bipolar Disorder is so mild, because it's stable with medications, what if I am a danger to myself and to others, it's just not manifested yet? I also do well in school and function well in society, it's hard for me to know for sure until It's too late.

I have psychological highs and lows.

When I have psychological highs, I meet diagnostic criteria for hypomania, but I used to have mania with delusions in the past.

When I have psychological lows, I meet diagnostic for milder form of depression, but I used to meet diagnostic criteria for severe depression and catatonia in the past.

I want to make it short, I don't want to list all the symptoms of Bipolar Disorder I had in the past and present, I just want to do online self-test for High-functioning people like me who might meet the criteria for being a danger to themselves or others.

I am sorry, I am having a serious mental health crisis. I know that it's sounds mild, because I able to think clearly, as if I have atypical symptology and symptology threshold.

Once police officers that checked if I was okay, they told me how well I communicate and how good my social skills are, and I told them that because I have milder form of Bipolar 1 Disorder and Autism is a spectrum, and they understood.

    I read your posts about how you feel and I've come from (and sometimes return to) exactly the same place.

    I've done a bit of smiting of my bullies in my time, AND I've "interviewed" a few murderers in my time who di push back in the way some of us can fantasise about. BOTH experiences have taught me that the Christian approach to such trials counter intuitive as it is, is the correct one. More importantly you get to retain most of your "agency" which one tends to lose when you resort to violent means.

    I can put my hand on my heart and say, my approach some times feels  like the wrong one, but over the years, has proven to be a happier path than others I've witnessed or even tried.

    And as always I like to advise Autistic people to get yerself a cat! (or make friends with a stray or someone elses!)

    1. Having at least one "dependent" tends to make life more worthwhile. 

    2. Unlike with people, the relationship you get to form is simple, trust based, deep and reliable.  

    3. Unlike the rest of humanity, cats seem to love Autists!

  • I feel embarrassed, I meet the criteria to go to mental hospital when I am depressed, I just don't want to be without my friends and I keep it to myself as well.

    When I am depressed, I fantasies about wanting to die and also plan very fast on how, and what location I will commit suicide. I am also embarrassed, because I have serious anger issues and fantasizing about slaughtering my former bullies, because they called me "Stupid" , "Idiot", and a "Loser", for having Autism Spectrum Disorder and profound learning disorder. I know what I said is actually a felony, attempted murder, but it's not okay for people to make fun of my atypical development. I hope FBI understands that I need help.

    I am sorry, I don't mean to sound like Sandy Hook. I am too empathetic for that.

    Those are red flags that I need to go to mental hospital, but I do well in school, that is why I keep it to myself for a long time and only tell this to my psychiatrist, parents and school psychologist.

    I am sorry, I was in such huge denial about this.

  • FWIW I DECIDED not to be a danger to others or myself.

    When I lose my mind, I just don't allow myself to be hurtful and destructive. I always leave the scene and find somewhere to go sleep.

    I avoid SSRI's because they make me more evil than I normally am. Cannabis weakens my urge to kill also, very well indeed.

    I do allow myself to become more dangerous if someone makes me their special project or sees me as prey or bee-atch material. (but that's self defence, officer). 

  • The only question is are you a danger to yourself and/or others? The answer to that will determine your decision.

  • Forgive me for telling you about my experience.

    A few years ago I picked up a mental health information leaflet at my local library, where a mental health organisation was offering help and it gave a link to a website that included a quiz to see if I qualified.  I answered all the quiz questions honestly and the advice I was given at the end was that my mental health was far far worse than the help they were offering and that I should contact my GP urgently and get expert help ASAP.

    The moral is, you are not alone with these problems.
