i have an appointment with my psychiatrist tomorrow. my planned ctb date is this week's sunday, but i'm starting to wonder, if i should tell the nurse about my plan and get put in a ward again? help pls:(
If you feel comfortable and safe in a ward I'd go ahead and do it. If you're having to think whether you should CTB or not, then deep in your soul, you're telling yourself that you want more out of life. I would tell your psychiatrist.i have an appointment with my psychiatrist tomorrow. my planned ctb date is this week's sunday, but i'm starting to wonder, if i should tell the nurse about my plan and get put in a ward again? help pls:(

i ended up going to the er on tuesday and got put inpatient again after that. i already get help, go to a psychiatrist etc. but i can't really tell them about ctb plans etc. cause it (obviously) gets me put in a ward again. i've found that when i'm in the ward, i can at least be honest with my thoughts. i'm still trying to figure out if i want to lie-> get out and ctb, or tell the truth-> stay here for a longer time-> give recovery a chanceI disagree with going to the ward. The ward is not designed for recovery, it's designed for suicide prevention. Which may sound like the same, but it's completely different. The ward is designed to be a mental health prison that prevent suicide for the next week or so, under the assumption that your active suicidal ideation will go away if you're held hostage for a bit and that SI will kick in so that you won't be brave enough to ctb when you're released. It's not meant to make you recover and be happy. If you want to get help, I'd suggest going the typical route of psychiatrist + therapist instead, or even better: doing some soul searching on your own and focusing everything on fixing it because you know yourself better than any professional even will.
