Wow- you have really been proactive! I'm sorry to hear last night was so difficult, but well done for doing something to help yourself, and for reaching out!

Just going to the psych hospital is a great achievement. Did you at least get a feel for the hospital and try see if it would be an option for you?
Did you have to give the psychotherapy some details on why you are making an appointment? Is it possible for you to stress the severity of your situation, and that you need help-NOW!?

Remember too that there is the option of going to an ER. Where I am, I don't think they'd admit me to a psych ward initially, but rather take me to a normal ward. It just keeps you safe for a while, and you hand all your responsibility over
