Steph, involuntary admission is a very high bar to clear - very generally, it will only happen if they believe you are going to hurt yourself or someone else - and it usually takes a history of trying to do one or more of those. Even then, to do so without filing an affidavit is really, really rare.

If you think you need help, I want you to get it.

I'm afraid it would create more problems than solutions.

Steph, can you call your therapist?

It is a terrible thing when thinking about getting the help you might need causes you more anxiety. I don't want you to have to go through that.

Have you rejected calling your own doctor? Can I see if I can contact bonny or some other Buffista to talk to you?

Maybe? I've never called her before, so I don't know if it's okay.

I will try her now, and it will be okay.

I'm on the phone with Tim.

Good. I left bonny a message. I know she will check in here when she gets it.

She's on her way here, Steph.

I'm going to text my therapist.
