If I check myself into a hospital and they see that I have cut myself will I no longer be able to leave when I want to?

In Canada it depends if you get formed or not. If you get a form 3 I believe your doctor can keep you there for 48 hours I believe but you can take legal action to get yourself out of the hospital. A friend of mine did it but why would you want to take yourself out the doctors are only there to help you. Is it the stigma thing for you?

I dont think that I will go, but if I did I want to be able to leave when I think that I am ready. My last experience in those places was horrible.

MOST hospitals will let people leave. BUT THEN if you want to come back they will say no.

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
