Venting Might get hospitalised tomorrow

[l1ablemistakes]

I have therapy tomorrow morning and I feel like she's gonna make me go to ED if I'm honest. It feels like a waste of $200 to just lie and not talk about everything that's going on, which includes this site and the partial suspension I've been doing (not to try and die, just to practice and get used to it). She is NOT gonna be happy I'm on here lmao. And that I've been hanging. I have no date in mind so I'm not in immediate danger if that makes sense. But she may see the hanging as dangerous enough to section me.

Wish me luck lol

If she's a good therapist, she will be relieved that you trust her enough to tell her this. Yes, hospitalization is a risk if she feels that your health is in jeopardy, but she'll likely be more grateful that you've sought help then mad at you for needing that help.

She is a great therapist. I've managed to avoid hospitalisation before by getting her to realise it would make me worse off. I can't stay long term bc of my job and ED can only hold me for 12 hours. I'm hoping she will see that they can't help me

So update. She (with the help of a friend who went behind my back) did indeed send me to ED but I was at least able to convince her I could drive myself and didnt need an ambulance. Spent about 6 hours there in the mental health space, no hold, I was there voluntarily. Spoke to 2 nurses and a couple peer support workers (no qualifications besides having experienced mental illness personally), every individual person was lovely but nobody really… helped. I think my friend and psychologist were hoping they'd offer me an inpatient bed, but they discharged me with a few pamphlets and a follow up appointment with a psychologist in a week.

Super productive and helpful. Adding this to my stash of reasons hospitals are not helpful (my other example is the time I went in via ambulance after intentionally ODing and a similar thing happened. I can do a storytime if anyone is interested)

There you go! Mental health care in Australia for you.
