I was panicking last week waiting for sn, turns on family member called the popo on me for being suicidal. Now I'm screwed :(
Send help.

if you are feeling suicidal, it does not mean that they will certainly hospitalize you. If they determine that you are not in a critical condition, they won't section you. There are plenty of other severe cases which require urgent help, first they will talk to you, you may even convince them that you know about your problem and planning to start the therapy asap or if you are already taking a therapy, you may say that you would like to change medication because these medicines are making you feel really bad.

I hope this isn't entirely unhelpful, but even if you do go to the psyche ward, and you cooperate with treatment, and talk things through, the chances are it might not be a too horrific experience for you, and they will probably release you pretty soon.

Just a thought for your worst case scenario.

The chances are, unless you're deemed an immediate risk to yourself or others, you probably won't get sectioned. What you tell them is as important as anything else.

If you tell them that you aren't suicidal and that you don't want to hurt yourself then they can't section you

I got sectioned for saying it, now I'm nervous I'm stuck in here for awhile. I hate it so much already.

All you can do is say and do the right things to keep your stay there as brief as possible. Think of it as taking a strategic time-out on your suicide goal.
