    Ok. I am talking about how how there is a non zero chance that if I go to therapy and say the wrong thing, I lose my freedoms. And that wrong thing is completely determined by the therapist. The idea that seeking help necessitates putting my ENTIRE LIFE in the hands of someone else that I do not trust (nor the entire profession) makes my skin crawl. If I say the wrong thing, they say you are not safe to be around others, they come to collect me and not wishing to go, I become that danger to others that they were so worried about. They would create the problem they seek to avoid.

    I cannot in any way trust these people making the decisions.

    Just because some people say their lives were improved through the prison system, it does not justify its existance.

      The ward isn’t prison. It sucks, but it isn’t prison.

      A therapist isn’t going to send you to the ward unless you tell them “I have a plan for when and how I am going to kill myself” or “I plan on bringing harm to this person”

      Other than that, they’re just gonna ask you “and why do you think you feel that way?”

        Precisely why I am worried.

        Regardless, I know why I feel this way, there is no mystery. There are specific people responsible. They don’t even hide it.
