I second this. I can't see why a hospital would only give you sleep meds, much less if you don't need them. They would try to stabilize you, either by keeping you in the ER for a while and prescribing psych medications and talking to you, or admitting you to stabilize you on a change of psych meds. Many hospitals (most?) have groups you can attend and you would meet with a pdoc daily; it could prove to be just what you need right now. I don't think DBT is designed for crises, but the ER is. You could use it as a bridge between getting over this crisis with the help of the hospital's expertise and then going on to doing the DBT for short and long-term care to learn skills. Please go, you sound like you're in a very bad and precarious place right now.
