Lying is something that I cannot stand for and try to do as little as humanly possible. Been lied to too many times in my life and to me it's the worse feeling in the world and I can't do that to another person. I know I'm stuck in this situation but I'm keeping my hope in that she forgets to ask about it, but I doubt that will happen.

You already know she will ask you about it. I understand your issues with lying. However, as someone else wrote, canceling an appointment b/c you're "not feeling well" is not technically a lie. I think not wanting to be put in a psych unit against your will counts as a "good reason" to cancel but that's just my personal opinion. Also, by lying and canceling, you are not doing anything to the therapist. You are doing something to protect yourself from a situation (ie. potentially being committed against your will) which you feel will be bad for you.
You are not stuck in this situation. You know the pros and cons of both (lying/cancelling versus going in the appointment). As long as YOU are content with your choice, that's all that matters. My thoughts will be with you this week.
