Hospital admission
Following an emergency psy assessment on Wednesday, my social worker saw me this morning and is putting a lot of pressure on me to be admitted to an adult unit. I got the impression, though she didn't put it that bluntly, its either agree to admission or if you do one more serious thing, it'll be a section. She said they can try and keep me safe in the community but its not enough. She told me to go away and have a serious think this weekend about it. She said to think about how my family would feel if they got a call saying " we need to section your suicidal daughter". I have to have contact with her 5 days a week @tm. The thing is I'm dead against hospitals and I've seen my friend go in one and it just made her worse.
I feel really confused because the psychiatrist who assessed me didnt mention hospital, I saw my GP yesterday and she said that she felt it was just necessary for restbite care because Im exhausting myself trying to keep safe but no1 was gunu force me and then my social worker this mornin made me feel like I was being coerced in2 hospital.
What do u guys think? Is hospital helpful? Also if I go in voluntarily and then self harm/dont eat and want to leave, will they let me or can they keep me in? Also do u think its likely they'll section me if I refuse 2 go in?
Apologies 4 qus Im just a bit scared and confused. xxx
