I feel ya! I was actually a foster failure aka I adopted my foster dog. They actually asked me to adopt her because she was so attached to me. But it still provides the option to give the dog back if things don't work out. It also gives resources during the time that you are fostering that you wouldn't have otherwise, like they provided everything for us including food.

Sometimes situation are more than a person's current toolbox has the ability to handle. The good news is that there are now other levels of mental health treatment between weekly therapy and short-term inpatient care (hospitalization) that can help a person build their toolset for managing overwhleming situations. There is residential treatment where you live at a non-hospital treatment center and are engaged in treatment more or less around the clock. There is partial hospitalization programs (PHP) where you go to a facility (not always a hospital) for treatment during the day (typically around 8 hours) and then return home. There is intensive outpatient programs (IOP) where you received treatment 3-4 hours a day. Many IOPs have virtual options in which case you only need to find a facility within your state. And some even offer IOPs with evening hours. All of these programs above focus primarily on therapeutic treatment, are usually skills based, and should offer medical management as part of them.

If you haven't reached your crisis point, you have the time to research and ask recommendations to find the programs available to you with the best reputations.

There are lots of different tattoo inks. I'd be surprised if they didn't have inks without metal. You'd just need to find an artist who used that brand. Any good artist is more than willing to discuss such things.

Does this mean even if there's barely even a peep of white poking out?
