Yesterday, 3/20/17 I had a regular therapy appointment, I got to talking to her about having a plan to end my life (yet I would never do it, I have to many people it would hurt.) and know she wants me to go to the hospital here and go to in patient treatment, in another town. I don't know what to do. It would all be voluntary because I haven't actively acted on my "plan" they cant force me to go....what are your inputs on this such situation? Please Give me all the feed back that you can.

If you don't feel like doing it, then I guess you don't need to go to the hospital... however, if you feel suicidal, please take it into consideration. Of course you don't have to if you dont' want to, but it's for your health.

I've been committed involuntarily before and it was really good for me. I got removed from the stresses of real life and was given the opportunity to focus on getting well. Sometimes a different environment can be really beneficial. I'm not saying you should do it. I just wanted to give a positive perspective.

I generally found the experiences to be helpful.

Hi, I found my hospital stays helpful. My meds were expedited and I met nice people.

I have not been, but as others have stated, it can be very liberating. You get out of your regular jacked up environment which is likely stressing you out, and you get to focus on YOU!

Honestly, until I started going to DBSA groups, I had a negative view of hospital stays (because I hate them for physical ailments) but many who had gone said they were the best thing that had happened to them. I would go. Please keep us updated on how things are going. I've been where you are, and it sucks. But it can get better.
