County hospitals have to accept you in the emergency room and if they find that you are under severe mental stress, they have to keep you until you are stabilized or can transfer you to a treatment center. If you are feeling suicidal or are having a loss of control, they have to treat you. I don't have insurance either and I am trying to figure out how to deal with this but I do know that if I get to the point you are talking about, my husband already knows to take me straight to the emergency room. Please don't wait and try not to be afraid of the hospital. They may be able to get you the help you need now. Go with all of our love.
