The Australian Psychological Society code of ethics actually says exactly what you've said here - unfortunately as they are not all psychologists I guess they don't all have to abide by this, but it is a very very good point. Cause it leaves you with a feeling of, if you can't help, who can? Nobody? I'm sorry to hear they've said it to you but thank you for sharing that.
I guess the pros are
- safety from harming myself
- potential medication change for continued stability
- reduced pressure
Whereas the cons are
- i'll fall behind in uni
- my dad and family will be disappointed and not understand
- it will be unlikely i could do my confirmation in august
- i might become reliant on the hospital system and not learn to deal with my problems
- hospital is a sad and scary and lonely place
- i have patches where i am okay so maybe it isn't required
- it would need to be next tuesday anyway because nobody is here to care for my dog (by then I may be better)
I guess on that last point it's worth waiting until next week to make a decision, and until then trying to keep safe
And it looks like there are more negatives than positives anyway, so maybe I should get through this by my self.
