if you said to your pdoc, “if you don’t put me in the hospital, im going to do something bad to get there”. i don’t want to do anything bad, but sometimes i think about making this threat to my pdoc.
It’s a bad idea in my opinion. Your dr may not take kindly to threats and may fire you as a patient

i am in the us. but he is the only pdoc in town. and im court ordered to see him.
Hahaha! This concept is funny to me. In England the pdoc and us don’t get to choose our patients and doctors.
I can be a real irritating ■■■■, and treat them badly. Feel bad about it sometimes, but I have a lot of pent up anger with them for being so late to dig into problems that have greatly affected my life.
Know it’s not great to be bitter, but the treatment up until recently has been subpar.
Something that triggers me off into an angry state with them is when the clinicians apologise for other peoples mistakes.

Making threats might backfire on you somehow. Maybe they put you in jail or something. Or maybe they put you in some shitty hospital instead of a nice one.
My friends sister earned herself a stay in a hospital for the criminally insane for deliberately running over a cops foot in her car. I think she got more than five years.

i reserve the right to change my mind if i win the lottery though.
I respect my pdoc.
She treats me like a human being and not just another patient.

maybe someday, i’ll just ask him, “would you hospitalize me” i have decided to live it up for another 5 years in the meantime.
I’ve seen that happen. Have also seen people labeled as malingerers for doing this, makes it less likely they’ll get a bed in the future when they actually need one.

I don’t think your mental illness means you can use threats.
To my knowledge, you can still be held accountable.
I remember once when I was released from the psych ward I asked the doctor to put me in the psychiatric hospital because I had nowhere to go. She didn’t and I ended up living in a hotel.
