I have been connected with the community response team here that works with our hospital. They do the intake for the psych ward, and are our crisis team in our city. They have never made me be admitted tho. Not even when I am extremely manic with very bad psychosis and pretty out of it . They call my house and check on me, and talk to me about how things are going and see if I need anything, or that I am safe. I do not want to be admitted so this has worked for me and they have been very understanding of my needs to not be in hospital. Usually what they do is call me in the morning and again in the evening untill I am doing better. They also can get ahold of my pdoc faster and easier than I can. They also communicate with my t who acts as more of a resource to get me help when I am in real trouble instead of a real t now. I don't know if this is a usual set up I have, but it works for me, maybe they do this because I am so stubborn. But I think this would be acceptable for many people.

I don't know how mobile crisis line works, but maybe it would be similar. I really don't think unless you are a real danger or threat to yourself they will force admit you. I think that is pretty hard to do, but I understand your fear about it.

I hope someone has more experience with mobile crisis will answer you. But I do think you should call them. I think this is one of those times you really need help and now.

I can't tell where you are from, the anne of green gables qoute makes me think canada, but I don't want to guess from that.
