If I was to tell my therapist that I was suicidal and had made plans, would I end up in a General hospital?

It's quite possible, but I'm not positive. If I remember right, therapists do have an obligation to do something if you say you are going to hurt yourself, but I'm not sure what that would involve like if she would have someone take you to a hospital or something like that. I do know, though, that if you call 911 or show up at a hospital and you say you're planning to commit suicide, here in Colorado they're required to keep you for 72 hours to make sure you don't follow through with it.

I was admitted to hospital back in September. For some reason (I honestly can't remember why) I'd stopped taking my anticonvulstants. There really isn't anything to worry about. I found the staff were non-judgmental and really kind-hearted.

Im ready to start...
