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?
