Are you in the US? Speaking as someone who works in mental health, it is VERY difficult to get someone admitted to the hospital, even when they really need it. It is a sad reality. I guess I'm sharing this b/c I really want to encourage you to be open w/ your T and pdoc about what's really going on w/ you. They won't rush to hospitalize you if you simply mention suicidal thoughts.
Sounds like you are struggling right now. I wish you the best in getting through it.
