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.
