Ive been very depressed lately and i feel i should tell my therapist about how bad I’m getting but I’m terrified that she’s going to force me into a hospital. Idk what I should do.
I’ve noticed that both doctors and therapists can be pushed pretty far before they hospitalize you. I’ve told my doctor that I want to kill myself numerous times and I’ve been blantaly psychotic and only time I got hospitalized was when I was threatening to kill people.

Thank you that makes me feel a little better. I’m just really scared cause my past therapist/abuser was always threatening me with the hospital. I just don’t know how to bringing it up cause i like to think she wouldnt just do that but i dont know how to find out??
You can ask her, under what circumstances would you admit me?

Is there anyway to get out of it if she’s decides to force me? Do you know? Sorry this is a weird question I’m just worried.
I dunno, I guess try not to meet the criteria?
The laws are different state to state.

Where I live it’s super-easy to be hospitalized and I’m worried my pdoc might do it because I’m not taking my meds in the dosage she told me to and I’ve been experiencing psychosis.

Why aren’t you taking your prescribed dose? Side effects? Maybe they can prescribe something to help with that.

That is scary. Why are you not taking the full dose that can be dangerous but i understand why you might. I’m not taking any meds at all and I’m super worried they’re gonna force them on me and if I get too psychotic i dont know whar theyll do. I just want to avoid the hospital at all costs.
Yeah, side effects and I just don’t want to be on Clozaril anymore, and my doctor refuses to take me off, so I figure I’ll do it myself.

Unfortunately for me, I’m psychotic even on medication, so it’s just a matter of how psychotic I get.
But anyway, that’s just me.

Ah I’m sorry to hear that. I’ve seen you posting about your struggles lately it must be difficult for you. I know what it’s like to get horrible side effects and little to no results. Just try to be careful ok?

Where I live they try to keep people out of the hospital. Unless you are going to hurt yourself or others, you won’t be admitted. My current pdoc tries to avoid putting people in the hospital unless it is completely nessecary.

My problem is my abuser wasn’t like that if I ever went against her I was instantly threatened with it. And since then I’ve been to other therapists and when I’ve brought up suicidal ideation I’ve had several fly off of the handle and threaten hospitalization. I’m just worried about talking about it cause it might make me even worse.
During really dark times, I’ve told my counselors I felt like i wanted to kill myself but wasn’t going to. They didn’t hospitalized me, but did tell my family to keep an eye on me. I was complying to a med regamine though.

I don’t understand why’d everyone afraid of there doctors hospitalizing them. I don’t have that problem with my psychologist. Although i do have that problem with the psychiatrist and he’s not really what you call a doctor he’s more of an practitioner.
what is the reason for this?

Well that’s comforting at least.
Cause hospitals seem like horrible places where I’ll just keep getting more and more traumatized from all the flashbacks and medication until I end up losing all my rights and becoming an almost permanent feature there stuck in my literal nightmares while they will continuously and forcibly medicate me out of my damn mind to the point where I might as well be in a coma or dead at that point.
And that’s why I don’t want to go to a hospital.
