I was taking my sleep medicine on Tuesday and I took twice what I was supposed to and had to physically stop myself from taking the rest of the bottle (It's Trazodone so I doubt I could have OD'd anyways) but I just keep considering it though I know its bad and I don't truly want to, deep down. I just kind of want to disappear. I told my parents I was depressed (I left out the bad thoughts) but I'm not sure whether I should call my psychiatrist or what I should do. I see my therapist tomorrow but I'm scared to tell her everything because she might want me to go inpatient. Im only 19, I have college I can't do that and get so behind. I feel trapped and scared.Sorry to unload but I really don't know what I should do.

I think when suicide had become a real possibility, I would call your pdoc and also voice your concerns about college. Maybe inpatient is not the only option. For that matter, if they determine you are not an immediate suicide risk or an immediate threat to anyone, I believe they cannot commit you to a hospital against your wishes. But other qualified people here probably can give you a better opinion about procedure.
