Considering this last week with the hospital, I am extremely cautious about going back to the hospital again and self harming.

However, I really do think that right now I need a higher level of the care I'm getting right now (1x week IOP group, 2x therapy with 2 different therapists). Because of my husband's schedule and my kids' school schedules, the hospital IOP schedules would work best for me.

But I'm really worried that I would go in for an assessment for IOP, and then they would try to put me back inpatient because of my SH/SI. Is anyone familiar with going in for an assessment rather than being directly admitted to inpatient from the ER?
