Hey everyone. I was wondering if I could get some advice.
I have an appointment with a psychiatrist tomorrow, and I was wondering how likely it will be that I will be sent to hospital. I know you guys aren't professionals or anything like that, but I was just looking for some opinions, so that I have a better idea of what may happen tomorrow, and thereby calm me down.
I saw a therapist on Monday who suggested being in a psych unit may be for the best for me.
Basically, I've been having suicidal thoughts, to the extent that I have figured out a plan, where I will carry it out and when (I've checked when I will be alone in my house).
I've also become very paranoid, to the extent that I haven't attended any of my lectures since my course started in September. I currently live with other uni students, but have avoided my kitchen and don't eat very much as a result of that. I also force myself to go for as long as possible without food, almost as a method of self-harm. I have started feeling dizzy now and again, so I try to eat, but normally end up binging then not eating for a while.
It's gotten to the extent that I have started staying in hotels just to avoid people. The most likely thing I can see happening tomorrow is the psychiatrist offering me medication. However, is it likely that she will suggest hospitalisation? And if so, would it be the best option? I know none of you can make such a decision for me behind a computer screen, but other people's opinions would be very helpful right now.
Thanks in advance.
