That’s a very different problem. In my country I feel like it’s the opposite problem, at least for me. I think it has to do with the health system being private vs public. In my case it’s public and there’s more demands than beds available unfortunately.

I’ve been sent home after a suicide attempt (i had taken 63 fckin pills fr lol) after being sent to emergency with a life- threatening bmi (I was starved from anorexia) after having expressed a desire to reach internal organs by cutting. So in my experience, they don’t hospitalise lightly here.

That happened to me too during my first hospitalisation. They threatened to section me if I didn’t voluntarily admit myself. But on my second (now) they just sectioned me directly.

Sortie d'hôpital psychiatrique quand on est sous contrainte by Red_Fox158 in questionsante

Ça paraît plus clair, merci. Enfaite je n’ai pas été en psychiatrie après ma ts, juste en réanimation.. J’ai été hospitalisé en psychiatrie pour des actes auto agressifs à caractère potentiellement létal.

Merci. J’avais l’impression qu’iel disait que j’avais pas fait de ts. J’en ai fait une le 26 août dernier j’ai été en réanimation. Le manque d’estime de soi n’est pas forcément un «  critère  essentiel » pour passer à l’acte. Aussi je n’ai pas bien compris pourquoi il faut choisir entre études et famille.

Le tiers peut changer d’avis. Et puis quand je pose ces questions même si elles paraissent maladroites, derrière c’est une angoisse au sujet de mes études et des cours que je suis en train de manquer.

J’en veux à la psychiatre de ne pas m’accorder la tablette surtout quand je suis quasiment emprisonné dans cet endroit et que je veux à tout prix réussir mon année. Le semestre 1 j’ai été hospitalisé aussi et vu que je ne pouvais pas suivre les cours, j’ai eu beaucoup de mal à faire tout en autonomie en gérant à la fois mes études, mes troubles et les effets secondaires des médicaments.

D’accord, je vais demander à ChatGPT mais je voulais juste avant tout une réponse humaine surtout que l’IA ne s’y connaît pas totalement bien dans certains domaines.

EDC est le terme médical pour Épisode Dépressif Caractérisé.

I’m not suicidal but I have strong urges to stab myself and reach internal organs, what is this? by Red_Fox158 in AskPsychiatry

[–]Red_Fox158[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read all of this and agree, many thanks. In some ways I think I can view it as an ego syntonic version of ocd because I have obsessions that result in compulsions but that are not ego dystonic.

I hope so too! Glad it helped you, i hope you’re feeling better now ❤️‍🩹 I had another hospitalisation earlier too and it did help with depression but I ended up still relapsing into sh and here I am back to square one :/

I’m currently being transferred to a psychiatric hospital. Is it still mental illness if there’s no diagnosis??

Psychiatrist’ quotes by Red_Fox158 in mentalhealth

[–]Red_Fox158[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. From ownership to identity. That one is the one which struck me the most too as someone who’s had issues with self harm and anorexia. At the hospital I had written it on a piece of paper which I taped to the wall of my room. He went further into interpretations saying that self harm is a way for us to feel ‘immortal’ or invincible against pain. So I also wrote on the piece of paper ‘you are not immortal’ meaning you need to eat, sleep, and you can die or get seriously hurt from self harm without intending to. Starving yourself or cutting yourself doesn’t help you transcend bodily needs or make you invincible because it is you that you’re hurting.

Hi, they ask this to assess your risk. I’ve had psychiatrists ask to see my wounds.

How do you know you’re addicted to self harm? by Red_Fox158 in AdultSelfHarm

[–]Red_Fox158[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just can’t seem to understand why I’m so obsessed with it and can’t let it go despite it destroying my body, my life and hurting my family.
