Help tell my therapist the truth?

[return2dreamland]

i've been inpatient for the majority of april, may, and half of june, which caused me to disconnect from my usual weekly therapist, (un) luckily, i'm having a session with them on tuesday. the thing is, i feel 100x worse than i did when they sent me to the psych ward in april, and i absolutely DO NOT want to go back there. should i (attempt to; i'm a horrible liar) lie and cover up my true feelings, or tell the truth and risk getting sent back to the ward?

Just tell that you just don't want to be Punished = (institutionalized) because you were to honest, (in first place).

You are not insane, you just need to find some hope and that's why you are being honest.

I guess it depends of what you want to get from it.

If you want compassion and support, it may be a good idea to tell them. Even more if you want help and to stop feeling this way.

If you're only thinking about telling them because you're a bad liar, I think it may be better to try and lie.

I don't know your situation nor your country. I don't know what it takes for them to send you to the phsych ward. In my country al least, the turning point for psychiatrists to send you there is when you start planning your suicide.

I can tell my therapists that I constantly think of dying and I really want to, but as long as I deny the intention or existence of a plan to kill myself, I'm free of hospitalization. (I know that because I'm a med student and that's what psychiatrists have tought me in my psychiatry courses)
