Concerning cutting, suicidal thoughts, possible eating disorder.

I'm so sick of lieing.

If your sick of lying, Tell the truth.
If you need to be admitted you need to be admitted.
No lying involved.

They're only going to keep you there if they believe you are unable to survive on your own.

I had to call an ambulance and police officer twice to pick up a friend who was threatening suicide. They brought her to the hospital, she admitted she had threatened suicide multiple times in the past and had considered it, also that she was depressed and cut and had an eating disorder etc.

They let her go forty minutes later. Hospitals are really full as it is; unless they see that you have an immediate threat to your well being, they'll just tell you to see a therapist and give you some pamphlets.

Just answer honestly.

This.

If they determine that you're a threat to yourself or others, they'll likely keep you but otherwise, they should let you go.

He/She just sounds worried/nervous which is normal. If he/she weren't, I'd think something else was up.

It sounds like you need to be admitted.
