Story I told someone...

[LostZombie]

It went terribly, do not tell anyone ever.

I might be going away because debating a pro-lifer who can just lock you up for being "insane" is a terrible idea.

Wish me luck...

Yeah I told my mom and got a wellness check...at my dad's house. I'm 36yo btw.

I wake up in such anguish and yet, actually doing the deed seems impossible. Weak will is my whole problem!

The only solution is to live well, but how can you do that when you've already reduced yourself to constant pain by living badly?!

I told my GP today. Now I have another appointment with her in a week.

If you get locked up make sure to sign the voluntary forms so you retain some rights after you get out
Also- bring books

It might be too late for this to reach you but on the off chance it isn't- don't refuse treatment, don't try to sign any 24 hour withdrawals, try to socialize and try to make friends as much as possible with everyone, but especially with staff.

If you attempt to sign withdrawal paperwork they're liable to just petition you if they think you're a threat still, even if you were voluntary beforehand, which you may be able to state, even if you were "coerced" by a prolifer.

If you do everything else (don't refuse treatment, socialize, be nice to staff when you can), you'll be out quicker.

Ages ago, I sent my father an email... and he read between the lines. Ten years later, this time around, I'm not telling anyone. Loose lips do indeed sink ships.

I made it out!

I talked my way out of it, holy shit I'm so relived. To those curious how I talked my way out if I basically convinced the person evaluating me that the only way I would CTB is by SN, and that I would never self harm with me telling her "I have standards". Which is partially true, but then the final part of which I do not have the money for making SN so it would be impossible for me to CTB. After that we made a safety plan which I think is kinda useless, but after that I was let out!!!!
