you say you have been in a bad place these last few weeks but you are doing ok now. your social worker is looking at the overall picture, not at the moment. she wants to get you services right away, in case things go back downhill for you next week, not see you put on a waiting list for services god know when. if you go in the hospital, you will get services immediately and not go on the waiting list. I can see her point of view. I can also see yours. hospitalization can be a scary thing. I went in the hospital under similar circumstances. I was only kept two days because I really didn't need inpatient services. but after I got out, I had immediate access to services and meds which was great. so it is something to think about. how long will you have to wait for services otherwise? will your stable mood hold out that long? are you ok going without services until then? you always have the option of going inpatient if things get bad before your accepted for services so you can tell your social worker that. take care.
