Of course not. But in retrospect, I _needed_ it, but was not in the right frame of mind to realize it until I was somewhat coerced into going. It was the right thing for me, maybe it would be the right thing for you too. Think about it, please.

Please talk to your pdoc about what's going on. If you don't trust him, then talk to your GP, or the emergency room or a crisis centre. Find out if there is a non-hospital psychiatric facility available in your area if you are dead set about not doing the hospital thing. You would need a psych admit to get in though so you would still have to see your pdoc, or go to the hospital initially.
I worry that you aren't managing well by yourself, and you seem to be refusing/not seeking help that is available. What is your biggest concern about returning to the hospital or talking to your pdoc about what's been going on?
