Yesterday I got a phone call from my therapist saying I’m a danger to myself in the community when it comes to my behavior and they said it was because I have lack of insight and judgment in the community and I’m not safe to be in the community right now. This is so false and I am not doing anything wrong and I am not a danger to myself and I can still live in the community. I did not once threaten my therapist and I am really trying my best to get better. Why would they threaten me to go to mental hospital when I’m not mentally ill? What caused them to make this decision? I found this unexpected and crossing the line for them to do this. What triggered them to say this? What should I do about this?

Recommend into a mental hospital when I’m not a danger to myself or others? What is this all about?

First of all, they would definitely not do this by phone, ever. If you were at your house and this were somehow urgently needed they would send the police and an ambulance.
Once you got to the hospital or mental health facility, you would be given a thorough physical and mental examination, and if they found no basis for mental illness, they would have to release you.
If they did have concerns after the exam, the longest they could hold you without a court order would be 3 days. If a judge was not willing to sign an order after evidence was presented of your mental illness, again, they'd have to release you. This is usually a one-sided court hearing and doctors and lawyers would not appear unless they had convincing evidence.
You can't just be picked up without a lot of confirmation by medical and legal professionals. And they certainly wouldn't do it by phone.
Yes you are right you are making me feel better about this thank you so much! Why would they say I’m a danger to myself and have to be hospitalized on the phone? I found it weird and uncalled for. The hospital has to evaluate me and not go by the letter they sent to them? Mabye my therapist had enough with me and thought I am mentally ill and need mental hospital? This is false information and I’m not a danger to myself why would she do this? I think this is weird and uncalled for
A recommendation is one thing & being forced to go is another. If your therapist is recommending that you go I THINK YOU SHOULD GO on your own terms just to check it out, have lunch & prove your therapist wrong.
What do you see when you look at the above image?
So I should stay for a day to shut her up? I don’t meet the criteria anyway so why is she saying I’m a danger to myself? That’s strange to me and I’m really trying to get better
Every journey starts with one small step & as for this journey I think you should take it just to shut her up & prove her wrong. Go on your own terms just to check it out & have a few meals.
Good idea
Did you ask your therapist to explain his or herself why they think this is necessary? I don't think a qualified therapist would not have a reason, but I don't know anything about therapy.
You mention in your post that you are trying to get better so obviously there is something wrong. Perhaps the therapist finds it in everyone's best interest that you get around the clock care for a while.
Yes it was because they think I’m still engaging in the same behaviors when my therapist gave me strategies to get me better and I didn’t use the strategies and relapsed. This doesn’t mean I’m a danger to myself like come on. Isn’t that strange they would recommend a mental hospital when it’s not necessary for me?
If it isn't for you, then who is it for?
I found that strange and uncalled for that I would need inpatient care because they think outpatient won’t do anything for me. That’s not true at all and inpatient crosses the line. It’s crosses the line for her to say I can’t live in the community right now when I’m not a dangerous person. I can do better at controlling my impulses.
What are your thoughts on this?
It’s for me.
I wrote down why it’s not necessary. What do you think?
You say "I can do better at controlling my impulses." which means you can't. There is likely the reason. You admit that you can't.
Have you been committed previously?
Your therapist would not be interested in putting you in a home for no reason.
No this is my first time at a mental hospital. So it’s strange to me she’s about to put me into mental hospital when I don’t meet the criteria. I’m an adult I can refuse to go. What should I do? I just want to be home with my family and promise to make safe decisions
I'd like to know the opinion of your family and the therapist.
They think I belong in a mental hospital. I don’t and I am fighting this like a competent adult I am
Well , they think you belong for a reason have they ever put you in a straight jacket?
Nope what is that?
A jacket so you can't move your arms and self harm or bust up the place..
Nope why?
Bcoz way U are talking " they " want you commited..
Why? It’s like sending me to prison for something I didn’t do. I didn’t do anything wrong and I’m going to fight this what u think?
I don't know why
. but they all seem to believe , if what you say is true you need to engage another therapist.
What do you mean?
You said the Therapist wanted U commited too , get a 2nd opinion , new one.
Yeah I will thank you!! Why would she falsely want me committed? Thats strange to me.
When I am clearly not a danger to myself and all because I can’t change my behavior. Why? I just want to be home with my family and I’m not dangerous
But are you not saying your family want you commited too?
Yeah they do but I don’t qualify so they can’t force me to go. I can make my own decisions. What do you think?
Well I think u need to get away from them.
Bs lol
Nope this is real
No it isn't. You've demonstrated yourself to be a consistent liar before, and this is no different
But I’m not lying I swear to god that my therapist is recommending this and I’m not making this up
Stop accusing me of lying about this because it’s the truth about what my therapist said
Why would i when you repeatedly lied to me? Why would i believe you?
Please
Stop
