Antidepressants, particularly TCAs such as Clomipiramine, are known to induce rapid cycling and mixed states in bipolar. Here in the England they are completely contraindicated for bipolar. I don't know how it is in N. Ireland but I have no idea why your doctor would prescribe you this.
Ask your psychiatrist to switch to a mood stabiliser, something like Lamotrigine.

If you feel like you're in crisis, please reach out to a trusted family member, your psychiatrist or failing that contact your local crisis team.

It's like a self fulfilling prophecy to be sectioned even though I know there is no beds in the mental hospital it feels like being sectioned and commiting suicide are my two main obessions it's like I want to be sectioned its awful

Although I myself have never been to the hospital, from what I hear its nothing like it is in the movies. There are not men in white coats dragging people into padded rooms. You can go there voluntarily, your not going to get sectioned forcibly unless they believe you are a clear and present danger to yourself or others, and as soon as you start feeling better you can leave at your own accord. Believe me, they don't want to keep you there any longer than they need to.

But your first port of call should be your family or a trusted friend. Fill them in on whats going on so they know how to help you. And try and get that Chlomipramine switched out for something else, but do so under medical supervision.
