What would happen?

I'm never good at expressing myself by talking. I'm thinking about finally being truthful with myself and my doctors. These are the symptoms I'm having lately. I'm going to write a note saying this:

-head is racing
-nothing seems real
-feels like I don't belong in my body
-keep hearing things
-cutting on my leg
-feeling really suicidal

Would we just talk about it? Or would I be sent to a hospital?
I'm scared of that happening because I don't know what to expect.

How you go about the suicidal information would most likely be the reason you do or don't go ip

It depends on your therapist or a doctor. Is the things that you can prevent yourself from committing suicide then you will not be hospitalized. If they think you are truly a danger to yourself meaning you will end your life then yes they will send you to the hospital.

I know how you feel. I was coerced into a hospital stay after being completely honest. I ended up only staying 24 hours though, since the dr. there understood me better. She said I just needed different meds and outpatient therapy.

What I do now though is tell any new dr. what happened and how I fear getting sent again. Just saying that puts my mind at ease and I can open up more.

It does sound like you are under a lot of stress and might need a different medication. I hope you feel better.

Sounds a lot like me during a mixed state episode. I told my pdoc about my frequent suicidal ideation, but also made a point to tell her that I don't think I'm actively suicidal and don't have any specific plans. She did not try to hospitalize me.
