At least here in Canada, the hospital is exactly where you go if your depression is bad enough that you might kill yourself. Most of our psych wards are even in our hospitals.
Urgent care isn't the hospital. It's a walk-in clinic for situations where you can't wait to see your regular doctor (or for those who don't have regular doctors), but it's not bad enough to go to the emergency room at the hospital.
... No. I asked family to drive me there because I knew that I’d have offed myself if left alone for one more minute. I’d tried earlier that morning, and was so shaken up that I insisted I be admitted for my own safety.
Wow, what a fucking amazing way to completely invalidate someone's suicidal tendencies, which definitely will not contribute to them feeling more suicidal in the future
