I doubt you have to go anywhere you don't wish to go. I don't know what your diagnosis is... or if this is part of finding out... but since your voices have names it suggests to me that it's part of a dissociative disorder which doesn't do well on some medications. Can you ask for a psychologist who knows about trauma and dissociation? IDK what the sentiment is about that area of disorders, if in the UK they tend to lean towards schizophrenia like they do in the US (and it's caused a big number in misdiagnosing unfortunately). You need someone to help you find out what part of you wants to die and why, but if medication will numb you away from thinking that way and keep you alive... then perhaps...

Do you know which way your mother leans? I think you need to share some of your fears with her, and let her share with you, if she will.
