So I was thinking about this because I have been having dreams of being in the hospital almost every night for a while.

The first time I was admitted, I had gone into the ER in my city saying that I was feeling suicidal and that my therapist suggested I come in. I spent hours there and after a urine test and talking to what felt like 100 people, an ambulance showed up and took me to the hospital inpatient in the next city over. I was told that my insurance would only pay for the inpatient ward in the city they took me to.

The second time, I went to the ER in the city where the ward was that I had been to the first time. I talked to another 100 people, and then they asked me to sign some paperwork to sign me in to the ward.

So does that mean that I was sectioned the first time? I am pretty sure I never signed anything other than the intake paperwork once I got to the ward, which I had also signed the first time.

I wonder if I could get my records to find out. Any thoughts?
