So... I just called my local mental health clinic and made an appointment, and now I feel horrible... I lied to the person who took my call.
She asked if I had any thoughts of hurting myself or others... and I told her no. I didn't tell her I was a self harmer or that the voices
are telling me to hurt (or even kill) my husband's family!!!!
Is that a bad thing? Would they have seen me sooner if I told the truth? (my appointment is on the 18th)
She asked me what was the reason I was making an appointment and all I said was "uhh... just severe depression"
Would it have made any difference if I had told the truth... that I am depressed, self-medicating, hearing voices, a self harmer,
wanting to hurt/kill people (including myself), etc????
Should I try to call them back and see if I can be seen sooner?
