I want to get help but I will ruin my uni experience if I get sectioned

[sgifeei]

So I wanna tell my therapist (that I rly trust and love) about plans but she would section me and I am in uni and Idk if ill need to repeat the year if Im gone for a while, and I probably would need cause Im in art uni and u cant rly miss classes there cause its not just all in books. Maybe she can section me in the hospital she works at for like 2 weeks but its open type so its not rly good for protecting a patient from suicide, and if I go to a closed one I would prob be gone for like a month.
But I would like not to be sectioned, I wanna make a suicide plan, like if I get close to doing it to like call someone or do something. Do you have any ideas, something that u built yourself, or advice on what to do?
I am really suicidal, but because of my family and my dogs I rly cant let them suffer…

Also to add, she will not just section me without talking to me first, I can tell her everything (at least I think) and she would not just disregard me, I have been going to her for like 2 years and I know how she works and she trusts me.

Different countries, different laws and regulations; so I can only speak for my own (undisclosed European) country.

I think you can speak to her openly.
My advice would be to be honest, and include your concerns about classes, family, and dogs.
I anticipate that she'll want to establish the very same emergency plan that you're requesting - a plan of action, for if it gets worse.
Sectioning is a radical emergency measure, and I'm not interpreting your description as an active emergency.

Also don't forget about the national emergency number: 112 in EU, 911 in the US. If you're at immediate risk you have the right to use it, independently of your therapists evaluation.

Being sectioned will not help you in any way at all. Don't be fooled. Being sectioned means your rights and freedom are GONE, and you will have to fight to get that back, possibly very heavily depending on your circumstances.

Wouldn't recommend.

If I were you, I'd find other ways around it. Why is there nothing you can do in order to get better without a hospital admission? There is plenty, especially because you have a therapist, that is a start.

Sectioning isn't meant to he helpful, it is merely there to protect you from yourself, so keep that in mind. You won't be treated like a person either, that will go out the window. It won't be like you imagine, I can PROMISE you that. Ask others on here - awful, awful experiences.

Although, if you really want to be protected from yourself and you want someone with you 24/7 (showering, shitting, pissing, sleeping, eating - doing anything at all) go ahead. I understand some people perhaps want this (confusing as to why), but I guess if you are a serious self harmer, I can understand in those circumstances, definitely.

I hope things improve for you either way
