Help Help. Can i be forced into a specific mental hospital? Urgent.

I admitted suicide plans to my therapist bc honestly I didn't think it was a big deal, but she escalated and sent me to emergency.

Well fuck this sucks, but I'll just endure a shit hospital stay and lie my way out.

Except now they're saying they're gonna send me to a specific ShitFest I've been to before that is a joke, people ate out of the trash at this place. The hallways smelled of urine. The doctor showed up randomly, so if you missed him you're forced to stay extra days. It's a really fucked up place.

Is there any way to refuse to go to ShitFest? To be admitted to a less shitty ShitFest place? Help, please? Transport is on the way as I type.

I should have just jumped.

Regrets, guys. Regrets. When I get out I keep my mouth shut and jump like a good girl.

I have been to one particular shit hole numerous times.There are 18 beds for the entire county in this place for 'assessment', the assessment is a joke, the doctor hardly speaks to you and it's done by what the nursing staff report to the doctor. I have a theory they diagnose people with PD's here so much because it saves on treatment beds. Whenever I return there I see the same old faces as patients far too much.It's a revolving door. I don't think these places help anyone really.

If you aren't detained {sectioned in the UK}, you can refuse to go but if it's the only facility in your area then I think you are screwed. You could of course tell them you have changed your mind and don't think you need hospital, that might work I suppose or it may mean they think you are even more ill because you want to leave their 'place of safety'. It might be better to lie your way out, I managed to do that once in 3 days. Beds are like gold dust here so you don't get much choice.

Never tell anyone in the medical field about suicidal ideation if you do not want to get put in the hospital.
