Contrary to what therapists and doctors often like to make us believe, you can't just admit somebody to a psych hospital against their will. They have to section you under the mental health act, and to do that they have to prove/have good reason to believe you are not capable of thinking straight, and that you're at considerable risk if they don't admit you. Normally you're talking about a BMI of 14 or less to be sectioned, although it depends on how well you are physically.

My point is, she can't MAKE you go to hospital unless you are sectionable. So try to tell her as much as you can.
