I really think you should get some medical help. Do your crisis team or GP service have an out-of-hours number you can call?

Also, you could ask about the home treatment team which is an equivalent that some mental health services have to a psychiatric ward where an MH professional comes to visit you at home 2 or 3 times a day to check you are okay. This can be a good 'compromise' as it gives you regular help and support (and they can prescribe things too if necessary) but means you don't have to be an inpatient.
