Well, had an appointment with my psych yesterday and ended up telling her things i didnt intend to say, about how i'm suicidal and all my thoughts on the subject.
i expected her to just nod her head and give me the look she usually gives me, but she said "do you want me to admit you to a mental health unit??"
I was just stunned, and asked her why she said that, and she said "i see a lot of people who say things like what you've just said because they know what reaction they'll get"
So i spent the next hour persuading her not to admit me, but she has made me an appointment with her for next week, and said she'll think more on the subject and talk about it with me then.
Basically, im worried that she thinks i was lying, and worried that i'm gonna get sectioned.
Can she section me purely based on what i say?
Because i'm not a person who will take ODs and cut too deep and so on, so she cant really say i'm a danger to myself in that respect.
Although i told her yesterday that i felt like breaking my wrist again, and i think i may have.
:/
I'm not really sure what i'm asking for.
Sorry.
Ohh, i think you misunderstood >.<
I'm not saying i feel bad about what she said, I just meant..oh i'm not sure what i meant.
i'm glad that she hasnt sectioned me, it's not what i wanted at all, i was just shocked that she'd even brought up the subject seeing as i've talked about suicide before and she's never mentioned that.
I guess i'm just worried that i will get sectioned because it's not what i want and i think it would make me worse.
maybe when you had talked to her about your suicidal thoughts before, she hadnt said anything, because she thought it wasnt very serious and that it would go away, but since you said that you still have these thoughts, she took you more seriously.
thats what my previous therapist had done. i had told her that i was suicidal and she hadnt said anything, but when i told her again, she decided to send me to a psychiatrist, because she was scared of me doing something bad. do you think that would be it?

Mmm, that probably is it, because last time i saw her she was like "i spoke to amanda(who i see for DBT)about you, you're a serious concern at the moment" which is why i wasn't going to tell her about my latest thoughts.
Im just questioning whether she could actually section me when i havent made any suicidal actions.
Well, does getting picked up by the police before i actually got the chance to do it count as a suicidal action?
Probably.
Arhhh.
if you were caught by police before doing something, i think it is a suicidal action. if the police hadnt caught you, would you have done it?
its possible to section you even if you havent done anything. it happened to me the first time i was sectioned. my psychiatrist, the first time i met him, said that i definitely should go in hospital because im a danger. and he sectioned me, even though i hadnt done anything.

I understand that, but i think she realised im not like that.
i'm 17.
well i have to go to A&E now anyway because my hand is messed up, which probably isnt gonna work in my favour.
=/
Maybe im being stupid.
I probably wont get sectioned.

Hmmm. I'm sure she didn't think you were lying. *HUGS*
Could you try explaining to her you don't want to be in a unit? I don't think she can section you based on just what you said. If you had a plan or something, then that might be different. I'm not sure. Talk to her about the next time you see her. Take care. xo.
I don't want to get sectioned because i know it would make me go all childlike and dependent, and thats something i'm struggling with at the moment anyway.
Ahh, i told her my plan, but not a date.
To be honest i doubt that she will section me, there are barely any facilities where i live anyway, and i'm not damaging myself enough.
Does a broken hand count as self harm?
Well I know it does but it's not potentially life threatening like cutting deep and ODing, so I guess that isn't gonna make her more likely to do it.
Yeah, i dont think she'll section me, its okay.
I'm rambling now :]
Thanks for the replies!
