It’s sounded more and more like you want them to find a bed? What do you think community support could offer right now?
And what do you think IP could offer?
I said I didn't want to be in hospital as it would only keep me safe. That's it. Also I'm worried finically how it would affect my pay. So I actually don't want to go ip given the traits I show.

tbh I still do.. I would suggest long term support from cmht/ htt and dbt to manage emotions and deal with distress without using sh. If they were too unstable, risks too high, then IP as a short , litrally short 7 days max to get them over this crisis peroid.
