The American MH Care System Is A Joke, Did Not Help One Bit, There Is A Cold Burden Of Proactiveness That Haunts Any BeingNo i feel ya. My friend was seriously considering ending himself and used drinking as a vice to cope with it. It got to the point where he broke down and made the decision to check himself into some sort of facility before he went through with the alternative. He’s been sober going on for probably 4 years now and is in a managerial position at his fairly unique job. I know he was honest with his doctor/care taker when he checked himself in and they took him seriously and helped.
I was simply being proactive as I know I can spiral since I experienced something I haven’t in years. When I spiral I can do impulsive dangerous things. So I went to crisis and then they put me in a room for about 7 hours and didn’t talk to me until I asked to check myself out because I wasn’t a “risk” or “suicidal”
