i told my new therapist about how i have been having a lot of violent intrusive thoughts recently and she told me and my family that i should go to the emergency room because i could be a danger to myself and others but i really really really dont want to go because my past experience in the psych ward basically traumatized me i dont want to be stripped naked and stared at by strangers but i feel awful if i don't do what she said because what if i do hurt someone and its my responsibility because i didnt go to the er

      Do u already self-harm? If not, you can ask your family to remove any triggers from the home and you can meet with the therapist like x3/week until your psychiatrist can get u on meds/a dosage that quiets these thoughts a bit/makes them less distressing. If you do, then call around different facilities and talk to the staff beforehand? Maybe your local NAMI chapter can connect u to a reliable facility?
