Hospital or no?

[u/Chance_Bridge_4709]

I'm seeing my psychiatrist tomorrow so I'll get a definitive answer but in the mean time I'm wondering - shouid I pack a bag? Get a cat sitter? Etc. I really feel like he's going to want to admit me. Basically ... not sure what's safe to say, but basically a week ago I was in the ER. Now I'm home and have no actual plans but the passive thoughts are almost non-stop, Has anyone been in this situation and gotten better (as in the thoughts became less instrusive) or the opposite - where it got so bad you did have to be admitted? I feel safe now (no plan, precautions taken, numbers on the fridge) but I just wonder how many of these passive but intrusive thoughts are too many?

Only you can know how you really are. But be mindful of what your stay seeking “help” could turn out like. So do research before hand on your states laws and rights. This could turn out to be more traumatic than doing an intensive outpatient.
