... will I get admitted? I know it's case by case, but in my experience doctors in the ER are quick to admit people.
My tdoc wants me to go to the ER so I can talk to a psychiatrist about my medications. My current pdoc isn't very responsive and I don't think he's doing a great job with my meds. Tdoc thinks the ER could give me a second opinion. But I'm having suicidal thoughts (and have made gestures towards it). I also have some psychosis. Won't they just admit me? I really don't want that. I'm starting to think tdoc wants me admitted. I feel very nervous.

Since you've made some gestures, I would say they would admit you. I've been to the ER about 20-25 times and only not been admitted twice. Granted at this point they look at my history and don't even give me a chance to defend myself but still. I don't think an ER would do much for med adjustment without sending you IP.
I'd also like to add that perhaps admittance is best for you right now. You were talking before about rehearsing suicide; this is very dangerous. We all want the best for you. I hope you get the help you need, whatever that may be.

Franz,
I am very concerned about you.  If your having suicidal ideation and have made some gestures, it's time to get help for yourself. I am sorry your regular pdoc is not responding adequately. This is when an ER is most helpful. Please stay safe!  WC |

I wonder if tdoc is sneakily trying to get me IP without straight up calling the cops on me.

It's not very sneaky if they're willing to go with you. Obviously they're very concerned about you and care about you a great deal.

I would go to the ER. I don't believe your meds are right. They can fix ya up.

Considering what you have been writing the last few weeks ip would be a good thing. Don't fight your pdoc and let him go with you, who knows maybe all you'll get is new meds to try? At this point ER is a good step forward for you.

I agree with the others, I think IP would be beneficial for you now. And based on your description, I believe you would be admitted. Good luck and take care!

Please go to the ER. If you are admitted your medications will be looked over and, hopefully, improved. And perhaps you will get hooked up with a better pdoc. I don't think your current pdoc is helping you enough.
Good luck, franz kafka

What is it about going IP that is the problem for you? Is it fear of the unknown? I would trust the professionals.

If I go IP, I'll miss a huge portion of my intensive summer language program. They might kick me out. That and I will feel like I failed.
I know I should be trying to think of my health first, but it's hard. Plus I'm in a city where no one knows me and I know no one. No visitors, no one to bring me stuff. Just pure, boring hospital.

I can understand how alone you feel. The thing is, it would be worse if you end up being admitted because you are in an even worse psychosis, or because you attempt suicide, or worse.

I can't figure out if the hospital covers my insurance or not. I guess I'll have to call tomorrow. I don't want to end up with a huge bill.

It might be good to go with tdoc. You've been struggling for awhile now. Can you speak with tdoc about your fears of being admitted? Can you check if the hospital is in-network with your insurance? Sending love and hugs.

I could just be a few minor tweaks to your meds and you will be out in several days.

My other tdoc also wants me to go to the ER for a med consult. I might do that this weekend. I'm worried about hospitalization though.
