Another question, then I really have to go get my pumpkin, uh, dog. What made you make the appointment for tomorrow? Why did you call the mhc? Whatever reason you called them is the problem you're trying to solve, and that should be front and center at your appointment tomorrow.

My advice is a no-brainer. Don't say you're suicidal. Don't say you're homicidal. Don't let them see the cuts you made today. Just tell them you're unhappy and you'd like to take to a therapist. I really don't think they'll hospitalize you just because you hear voices or whatever.

In order to get a case manager (if they're even available there), you have to have a more severe disability. Probably the therapist would help in determining that? I really don't know. I just know not everyone is eligible for case management.
