I have a very good pdoc and psychologist. I was telling the story of how I met my pdoc.
I was in the psych ward after an attempted overdose. As soon as I got to the ward I signed myself out. Then there is a 12 hour wait before you can be released. In the morning, the pdoc can in, sat down, and asked "Are you going to leave?" and I said "Yes". She said if I left the police would be waiting at my door and take me to court and I would have to wait until she could get there. Then I would be involuntarily committed. When I was ready to be released I would have to stay until she could get back to court to end the commitment. Then she asked, "Are you going to leave?" and I said "No". I like her straight-forward manner and that she didn't sugar coat and she also saw that I did what was right for me.
