I know my therapist has a legal obligation to report it to the authorities (the police) if I make a claim that I am a danger to myself, that I intend to harm myself or feel that I cannot control feelings to harm myself and that they will come get me whether I like it or not and place me in the hospital. An ambulance once came to her office accompanied by police officers and picked me up from there.

I don't understand how it cannot be considered malpractice for your mental health care givers to know the crisis situation that you're in and continue to leave you in a situation where at this point, you are clearly a danger to yourself and need outside intervention as soon as possible.

I have been following all of your several posts here on PC and I'm happy that you have a place to express yourself and be heard and that you feel it helps you in some way but as others have told you, the support group here can only provide you with limited support and encourage you to seek professional help from a hospital or your psychiatrist. Don't quit now. You've shown great strength by making it this far. Please continue don't give up and do whatever it takes to get into the hospital. Go to the ER and stay there. They cannot turn you away if you clearly state your intentions. You're life is worth it. Go there today. I also know that you said before that it's not the best hospital, but keeping you safe is the most important thing right now. And if not that hospital, go to any ER. Just go today. You've been doing this on your own for too long. Let someone help you. Don't lose hope, things will get better.
