While in the long run it might be necessary to find a way to process the stuff that is so painful and hard to talk about, while you are in crisis, is NOT a time to talk about that stuff, because is is very painful for you. You need to get stable and out of danger first. And, you should feel some control over whether and when you discuss this material.
When you go riding, maybe confide in one friend in the riding group, and ask him/her to keep an eye out on you. Make an agreement with him or her that you will ride safely, and if he or she sees anything too daring, he or she will tell you and you will agree to tone it down. Use the riding experience, and being with a group you like, as a positive, healing experience, not one for toying with a decision that is irreversible once enacted.
Ask your doctor if you can count on a hospitalization to be a safe experience for you, not one to force you to talk about traumatic material. Then, keep the hospital as a safety option, which is what it should be.
Enjoy your ride. BTW what is the Rock Store?
