Would you accept a client near crisis?

NSFW

Hello,

I have decided I need someone else, so am using money I don't have, + finding a psych doing parts work (I am hoping to be accepted by one as we speak)

Tagged as may be triggering? I've tried to keep it very sterile tho

I think I'm probably very close to what most would consider a sort of emergency situation. I appreciate this is not coming from self, so may not be true, but it is something I have been keeping track of since my last prolonged admission, + is now returning to a similar state as in the run up to then

I also understand many therapists won't take on a client they believe to be in active crisis

I am not an impulsive person. I am autistic, with a slow type of autism where things get stuck in the processing department + take time. I don't come to decisions to hurt myself without serious consideration + plotting beforehand. I believe this puts me in the position of having a very easy risk to manage if I am able to get some external support

There is not outside support (literally just got the only med outside cannabis that has ever worked from me ripped from my hands. They won't do a single thing to prevent my death. I've been waiting over 5.5 years for s117 aftercare which I am legally entitled to, but bureaucratically being screwed out of), + I would honestly rather take my chances declining than ever be detained again
