Sometimes I am baffled by the idea of inpatient treatment for more than acute care (you are a danger now, and need to be watched).. T came back to if you keep coming back to the place of suicidal thoughts, then maybe its time for "higher care." The place he would send me to, has an average stay of about 8-10 days.. So, what are they going to do for me in less than two weeks that my T hasn't done for me in the last three years? and I am even more baffled that I am actually thinking about doing it..
