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!
