It is a scary situation, especially if your state has a public/state run hospital. If you are in bad shape, they will transfer you to a state hospital.

However, if you can convince the evaluating team that you feel bad but do not plan to harm yourself they will release you.

Just tell your T how you feel. The red flags lower when you let him/her know you want to work out a plan to stay safe and you don't plan on hurting yourself, even though the feelings are there
