Talked to therapist

Cried the whole time. He told me if he thought i was suicidal, he has to legally stick me in a hospital. I told him I'm not doing well in pain. Now partners leg is giving out and hes falling. I told him i hope i have something serious bc i don't want to go on anymore. Told him i talked to every lawyer and no one will take my case. Snow stopped me finishing my dental work. I fucking hate every thing and faik he's drawing up paperwork now to stick me in the hospital.

1. Is this what you want? If it is, good luck and I hope this gets you the care you need

But please make arrangements for any pets you may have. That is my greatest fear if any serious medical issues arise in my life. I have a small network of family and friends who can step up for the dog and the pony, but 16 cats (some indoors, most out) are a big ask for any friend. Best wishes for a helpful outcome, may your suffering be eased.

Into the hospital. I have no idea if they'll send the police and drag me away. The cat has a caretaker.

Unless you have expressed a desire to self-harm, they cannot hold you without a damned good reason.

If you have decent insurance, I'd say let the two entities duke it out and enjoy the mini-'vacation'. (You did mention that your animals will be taken care of, yes?)

Giving out and he's falling. My psychiatrist told me the local booby hatch is not a place Id like so one i don't want to pay since I'm having expensive dental coming up and two it sounds awful. I bought myself Cadbury flake candy today.

Headaches just started up awhile ago w minor ear/jaw pain.

I was thinking you were talking about options for your jaw.

You need to tell them what I tell these people when they start in with all the wonderful thins they can do, if I would just give them money. My usual reply is, "And, how do you expect me to pay for that? With Monopoly money?? Because that is the only 'money' I have!"

God knows what it costs per day. My counselor told me its the law. I told him I'm not suicidal. I'm not going into some bs hospital and come out exactly same problems causing me the overwhelming stress that's making me wish i was dead.

7. So, that guy took the fact that you said you wished you were dead to mean you were going to do something?

That is a massive stretch.I cannot think of a time when I was 'in session' where I did not say that at least a few times. I am wondering about this now. Do you think they are trying to railroad you into this because that would give them credence to say that your issue are all 'in your head'? I might mention this to those people if they keep going on and on about it. Time for a second opinion, I think.
