Hey guys. I've really been struggling woth wanting to Self Harm. Thing is I am gong to be starting a new psychatrist and a new therapist and have a few doctors appointment coming up and I guess I'm afraid of what they will do if i happen to relapse. I am 19 so my parents cant really do too much. But if it's my first session can they send me to a hospital?

...usually they'll only send you to a hospital if at that very moment you are unsafe... defined as a threat of harm or suicide to yourself... or harm or homicide to someone else.

Hate to say it. :(

If you feel like relapsing... DEFINITELY mention that on your FIRST appointment!

They will only send you to the hospital if they feel like you are a danger to yourself or others. so if u sit there and say i am going hurt myself when i leave they will or they think you are going to. they will do what they believe is safe for u :)
