You've been so ill and suffering so terribly. I don't know where you are but not every jurisdiction requires you to be suicidal to be admitted involuntarily. In mine, it's sufficient to have demonstrated an incapacity to care for yourself or risk of suffering grave harm and it sounds like you've been meeting both those criteria for a good while. Sending you gentle and loving thoughts.
Thanks for this!
