Kelly,
I've been learning, and it's taken quite a long time, that it is never in my best interest to keep important things from my T. Sometimes I have things that are very difficult to say, and I write them in my journal. I ALWAYS bring my journal to therapy.
Please talk to your T tomorrow. Just having the thoughts doesn't mean you'll be hospitalized. Maybe your T can give you ways to deal with these thoughts. Maybe there is an outpatient option.
Do you really think your husband would wish to deny treatment that you REALLY need? Maybe he needs to meet with your docs, or one of them, to learn what is really going on with your illness.
Please don't keep this kind of secret. Saying it here is one thing, but we can't offer the kind of help that you need. We understand, we worry, we can tell you what we've done in a situation that may have been similar, but other than that, we are helpless. The best thing you can do for you, and for us, is to be honest with the people who are there to help you.
Please let us know how things go,
Dee.
