Sectioning - and abusive Mother

Hello;

I am in very poor mental health atm, very depressed and almost constant suicide ideation.

Despite this I am not seen as a priority for mental health services in my area and am a long waiting list for talking therapies, and then I fear it will be group CBT/mindfulness which I have tried before and it's just not effective for me.

I have been reading about being sectioned - what I am terrified about is that it seems that my Mother could be brought in to make decisions.

My Mother is an incredibly abusive and vicious woman and I am pretty sure her constant emotional and physical abuse since birth is the cause of my mental health issues.

We have been NC for years - BUT I'm sure she would relish being given this power and is initially a very good actress.

If it gets to this point, is there anything I can do to stop this happening?

I have no other relatives other than cousins who I don't really know.

Could you not have in your records a 'do not contact' no information to be shared with...

I don't know? Will they take that into account?

How do they even find out about her - can I say she's dead?

I'm scared that she will act as if we're very close and she cares etc.

Apparently you can apply for another person but I'm scared they won't believe how abusive she is.

I thought once over 18 you are an adult so anything about you is confidential
You can definitely say you don’t want your mother involved in any of healthcare
I’m sure
