I think it depends on how much you trust your treatment team. I know that my dr and therapist won’t “jump the gun” and hospitalize me if I just express ambivalence about life. Even when I am actively suicidal my therapist tries to work with me until I can get through it. She only called crisis this last time because I was engaging In dangerous behavior and I refused to contract for safety. It was my fault.

As always my suggestion would be to be honest with your team as much as possible because they can’t help you if you’re not honest.

Be aware that because you just got out of IP you might be feeling a little “raw” as it were and might be over analyzing your moods. I know I’m always scared after an IP stay that I will slip right back into it, especially if the IP stay wasn’t particularly successful and I just wanted to get out of there ASAP.
