    If i tell them that will i be forced into any treatment? What will they do? I know my grandparents would completely flip out on me but fuck them.

    They will help you to the best of their ability.

    It sounds like you need professional help. Your anxiety about what the right thing to do is, is leading you to make bad decisions. The insufficiancy of those decisions increase your worries. I take your your suicidal thoughts seriously, but I have neither the training nor the opportunity to do much.

    I urge you to tell your doctor, who will see that you get the help you need. You are aware that you are making bad decisions about your health, let someone else make those decisions for a while.

    Thanks for the advice, but you didn't answer my question. I don't want to get help if i'm going to be held against my will. So i'm wondering if they can force me into treatment. And since suicide is against the law it would make sense that they would. And what do you mean by let someone else make those decisions for a while?

    Decisions like should you mix marijuana and Lexapro. Or go off the lexapro and onto xanax.
    Your decisions have been leaving you with anxiety attacks and seizing. Try theirs for a while.


    Edit: Keeping secrets (i.e. your suicidal thoughts) from your mental heath provider is another bad decision.

    You're 17. Yes, they can.

    Is forced treatment appropriate for your situation?
    Is forced treatment better than suicidal thoughts?

    I suggest you let your doctor make those decisions.

    Well thats just it. I don't want to be held against my will. They'd basically lock me up, and definitly keep anything that could possibly be used as a weapon to kill myself out of reach. Thats just going to make me want to kill myself even more. I wouldn't be able to go out on my on. Fuck that. I'm not going to let someone make decisions for me, thats rediculus. I'd definitly listen to advice though. I'd much much much much much rather kill myself then be locked up. I'm already held against my will enough as it is. I'm not going to let someone make decisions for me. I'll listen too peoples advice and formulate my own decision. Thats why i ask questions on forums like these.

    There is seriously no point in trying to help you, your not taking anyones advice because it's not what you want to hear.
    You are smoking pot while on medication, then taking medication GIVEN TO YOU OFF THE STREET, not seeking the proper professional help that people are reccomending you to do and you basically are taking no responsibility for yourself or your actions. You want sympathy and attention without deserving it.
    No one here is trained to help you medically or psychologically so what advice are you really expecting to get?
    I am just so annoyed by how stupidly your behaving that this is the last time I'm visiting this thread. I wash my hands of you.

    Well im definitly not coming here for sympathy. I did stop using all drugs except for the ones my doctor has prescribed, thanks to people on this thread, and i already posted that before. And i did take some advice from this forum. Not all of it because i don't agree with some of it. Like letting my doctor make decisions for me. I talked to my psychologist today and she even said that i should make decisions for myself, and not let others make them for me.

    I came to this thread for advice on this subject in the first place instead of going to my psychologist about it because if i told her that this happened because i smoked pot on lexapro then my grandparents, my legal gardeins, would have been informed of my marijuana use. And obviously i don't want my grandparents to know that i smoke pot. If i were older then 17 i'd tell my psychologist. And besides i can get on forums like these and have the same questions answered by nice people who are willing to help me out for free instead of paying a psychologist $160.00 an hour to answer the same things.

    So it's ignorant to assume that i came here for sympathy in the first place. I'm not trying to be an ass or anything, but come on. And then wiccan witch is going to run off in ignorance toward the subject, and speak as if i'm the ignorant one.
