If im over the age of 21 and I go to therepy and they see self harm can I refures to go to a mental health institution? (If this isn't the right place to ask I do apologize I'm just looking for answers)
I'm really considering therapy, and my wife goes to therapy every two weeks, I go with her to all her appointments because she feels more comfortable with me there, she has really improved and I think its my turn, I DONT want to kill myself, i love living and I love life, I want to spend the rest of my life growing old with my wife, but lately I've been having thoughts of falling back into my old self harm habits, if I went to therapy and was honest with a therapist would they try to make me go to an institution? And could I refuse that? My wife is disabled and needs me for everyday living, I literally couldn't be separated from her, she doesn't have a license, we work together and I drive her to work, I cook for her and I help her shower, and thats only the start of it, I'm also a manager at work, and I'm needed there, if I go to therapy I want to be 100% honest and talk about what I'm going through and feeling, but if I'm likely to go to the hospital then I'm not going to risk it and I'll wait to go to therapy until those urges stop
