It really bothers me the way you word these advice as though they were commandments. You've never actually been committed as you admit in your first sentence, so your experience isn't even a complete picture, and you're encouraging people to become so scared of the very concept of something (you haven't experienced) that they must resist help even when they feel they're a danger to others. That's crap.

The most you should be able to tell OP is that facility stay may not work out for everyone and they should be careful with their rights. This experience varies greatly from person to person, but positive outcomes are not impossible. Someone could end up with a temporary stay before being released into outpatient (like me), or even experience a good inpatient program.

Well, I ain't no Moses, OP you do with it what they want.

In any case, finding out what your rights are and making sure you have an advocate with your best interests in mind is always a good idea anyway.

Never said I was.

Nor are you, as you are as biased as I am, but from the other end of the spectrum.

Op now has several perspectives to choose from and contemplate what they want.

The problem is that you told OP to lie if s/he feels s/he's a danger to herself or others. If you had said everything else and left out that bit, then I doubt anyone would have as much of a problem with your post. And the thing that's distressing is that, because you personally feel that there are worse things than death, you seem to think that others should have the same outlook.

You may have just encouraged someone to do serious harm to themselves or something else and you do not care. That is much bigger issue than a simple difference of opinion.

Problem is that bit of info can be used against you big time.

So you really shouldn't tell, unless you're a 110 percent sure someone will have you back and not rat on you.

(Anonymous) 2014-02-25 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
No. The problem is that that bit of info can lead to people getting hurt or dead.

Yes, there are awful (or simply very tragically misinformed) people out there who will use a person's mental health against them. But encouraging someone to let themselves or others come to harm really isnt much better.

I didn't care about the future plans when I was suicidal. I did care about not succeeding the first time around and getting committed or becoming disabled. Which is not so much a plan, it's a possible consequence if shit goes wrong.

Oh, but killing yourself rather than submitting to the evils of psychiatric help is so ~poetic~

Congratulations anon, your advice would have probably been the final push that got me to kill myself years ago. Sorry you got here too late to save me from the ~wretched doctors~ who ~helped save my life~. That must tear you up inside.
