I’m at a point w my PTSD and autistic burnout that I’m very actively suicidal. I’ve been institutionalized before and it’s very bad and triggering for me, I don’t do well feeling trapped and surrounded by people. I’m scared because I need help but I don’t want to get any because I’m scared I’ll end up in inpatient which has only ever made me feel worse.

i’m sorry to hear that. that’s a difficult one because if you’re actively suicidal then they’re gonna want to do something. if you say you’re just thinking about it but don’t have plans they won’t but you won’t get the help you need as urgently. perhaps you could say that you don’t have plans to attempt but it’s in your thoughts a lot. i know that would be a lie but that would likely get you the level of help that you need without being sectioned. though perhaps it would be a good idea to look for help for specifically ptsd rather than depression as that seems to be an issue that may be more helpful to work through as it may be causing depression.
