Can I get in trouble with my command for going to see someone at my Behavioral Health for a crisis, and without telling anyone?

I have been having some issues keeping my emotions and mentality. I started to break down and could not control my emotions or thoughts. I recently admitted to behavioral health that I have had thoughts of Suicide just no actual intentions. My chain of command has a tendency of when we need to go somewhere to push it off till a later time. I have gotten in trouble for having my physical therapy sessions done during pt hours even though that’s the only time I can actually benefit to pt hours due to my recent surgery. I just want to know if even though I really needed to see someone but I failed to let a chain of command know am I still in the wrong?

I am glad you sought help. There is no shame in that, and no stigma should be attached. Ask your physician and counselor if it is necessary to do so, and then please follow their guidance. Good luck! PV2 (Join to see)

Nope!!!! When i have appointments, i send out calendar invites to all concerned and keep it moving. However, if you are having thoughts of harming yourself i strongly suggest you talk with someone in your COC.
If you have legitimate medical issues and have been referred to a specialist, you should be afforded every opportunity to get back in the fight. The limits of your profile and your rehab should be listed within your current profile. Hopefully your CoC will do right you and allow you to rehab and get fit. Good luck and be well.

No, not wrong, thoughts of suicide are red flags for yourself. After you talk to behavioral health- if they want more times or set sessions- then tell the CoC, and work it out between the two. Do NOT blow off what the BH says, and don't let the CoC sway you from this.
