I was recently appointed a psychiatrist/ therapist by the psychiatric hospital I had the joy of visiting recently, and they made me sign paperwork stating that if I miss appointments with this therapist or don't go along with his plan, that I will be hospitalized again!! How is this even legal!!! I had to sign the paperwork or they wouldn't finish my release from the hospital!!!

How can I go into a therapy session and be open and honest when I am terrified that saying the wrong thing is going to get me hospitalized??? I have had therapists in the past, I agree that therapy works and have always been open and honest with them. But now, there's no way in hell I can tell this guy how I really feel. I can't tell anyone how I really feel. I don't want to be put in a hospital ever again! It was traumatizing for me. I'm scared and paranoid even talking briefly about that experience here.

Anybody out there have any suggestions?? I have a week before I have to go.
