I'm currently waiting for a mental health act assessment and I'm terrified. I've never been In a hospital before. I'm hoping I cam talk my way out of it.
Does anyone have any advice
I know what it's like to want to die. How it hurts to smile. How you try to fit in but you can't. How you hurt yourself on the outside to try to kill the thing on the inside. ~ Girl Interrupted

I'm currently under home treatment. They say I'm too high risk for them to manage in the community

I don't think we're allowed to give advice for how to talk your way out of it, because that would probably be considered tip sharing.
I'm sorry you're in this situation and I know how scary it must be. I guess what I would generally advise would be:
- be honest with them about what is going on even though it is hard and scary
- ask what they would need for you to be low enough risk to manage in the community
- work with them to make those things happen
Please do not give me virtual hugs unless you are only using the hug function on threads. Thanks.
You can't always keep it separate.
This is happening, this is part of you.
