As Miss Laura said if you are unsafe and a danger to yourself or others you absolutely need inpatient. I have also gone inpatient so my doc could start and adjust new drugs so he could closely monitor me for effects and side effects.
For me feeling unsafe was when I felt as though I was "on the edge" and wasn't sure I was safe without more support than outpatient gave me.
