Consequences.

So i just relapsed with self harm and i've got to tell my psychiatrist. I hope he doesn't hospitalize me. That would suck. i would run... and they'd have to send cops after me. That would be no good.

Was your intent to die? Because as an adult I will say I have never been hospitalized for self harm alone. Only when coupled with suicidal thoughts. I tend to use it as a test to see if I can trust my therapist/pdoc, and my current ones never recommended hospitalization based on that.

When I was a teen, sure, all the time. But not as an adult. So don't worry too much. Unless it was really severe and they fear for your safety they probably won't force inpatient. Recommend, maybe, but no force involuntary.

intent? Nah. Thoughts? Sure. Where do you draw the line??

I dunno, I draw the line when I have a clear plan and have amassed the tools I need to carry it out and also believe my impulse control is too low to resist.

I'll always have thoughts. I've even said as much to therapists and said I really want to die but I believe I can control it and they've let me go.

Whenever I self harm or feel the urge I worry how far I might go.if I'm that down. So when my brain is that disconnected I don't know how far I'd go so that's when I go to the hospital. Why do you resist the hospital? For me I'm so glad the help is out there. I'm so glad that when I have suicidal ideation and I'm si myself then I get go there..please be open to the idea and be completely honest with yr pdoc. Take care of yr self. Let us know how things go. Hugs

@ littlemiss i've got a problem with being confined in a locked unit.

@wildflowerchild no clear plan just looking up reliable suicide methods at this point in life... got this giant bottle of ativan i can't get my hands on upstairs. I'm not sure what counts anymore.

I relapsed with self harm recently. My psychiatrist and therapist didn't recommend hospitalization but a med change. My therapist did do a suicidal risk assessment.
