Don't want to give my mum my pdocs number

Since I've returned home from 18months interstate I've actually opened up to my mum about what was going on when I was away, at the time she was so far away I didn't feel like telling her would help because she could not do anything & has anxiety issues herself, I didn't want to burden her. Now she's asked for my pdocs number in case she feels I need to see him or am becoming unwell. I don't want to give it to her, I know she would probably be able to find it fairly easily knowing his name but I feel like it's handing over some power or something. Before when it was just my partner I knew there was little chance of being forced into any treatment because he doesn't fully understand how seriously I was considering suicide (he thinks everyone does that sometimes), or that superficial self harm was anything besides attention seeking (it was more of self punishment & a desperate attempt to soothe myself). But my mum is petrified I will repeat the actions of her father & successfully end my life, she's more understanding of my condition, she's also probing me about my weight & eating habits. I know she's my safety net but Im still hesitant to let her collaborate with my pdoc in any way.

Rest assured there is nothing your mother can do with your pdoc's number. Your psychiatrist is bound by law not to discuss your case no matter how extreme. The most the office can do is suggest you make an appointment or proceed to the ER.

I know my pdoc can't really discuss any details I have shared with him with my mum, however I'm concerned that if my mum contacted him with concerns that he may suggest getting the crisis assessment team linked to the public hospital ED to assess me if I was unwilling to make an appointment to see him, which is something pretty much anyone who has concerns about someone's mental health can do. I don't want CAT to rock up at my house & escort me to the mental health unit ever.

What is CAT?

Safety Net Or Saboteur?

Maintain Your Boundaries!

Remember That The Word Mother Is Only One Letter Away From The Word Smother!

In addition, you can tell your pdoc that your mother isn't to have any information, and unless you're a minor, that will stick.

Crisis assement team, they basically assess people in the community for IP care, in Australia if someone is concerned about someone's mental health state they can refer to CAT for a psychiatric assement

oh, I see. Is that not a good thing? Ensuring that those that need help have it made available to them?

It is a good thing I just don't want it used on me, unless I was floridly manic or psychotic they wouldnt be able to take me anyway as I'm pretty sure I know what to say to stop that, ie I must demonstrate that I'm of no harm to myself or others, can receive appropriate care outside of hospital etc, my concern is that my mother may use the service as she isn't aware of the criteria for involuntary care but I will have to go through the whole sordid procedure in the first place.
