I agree with the others. Try your best to avoid being sectioned.
Looking back on my hospital admissions I would say that it did help me. It gave me a break from the real world and a chance to think about things.
Perhaps a break is what you need?
If you go in as an informal patient and refuse to eat, self-harm, display irrational behaviour etc it is very unlikely that they will just let you leave. As others have said you're likely to be held there until they can get a Doctor to section you.
Have they suggested being a day patient? Maybe you would find that helpful.
