yea I pretty much know the MA laws...had them used on me enough times. There's: 1) Sui thought 2) plan 3) means 4) intent. I've been sectioned against my will for just mentioning I thought about it. I've also been sectioned for just having simple delusions. Once I SI'd a bit deep and had to get stitches...they sectioned me even though I answered NO to all 4 questions. Then when you get in the hosp, it's really hard to get out here. After the 3 day (not counting weekends) if they want to keep you they try to get you to do a voluntary. I've been threatened with a court order if I didn't sign a voluntary. I actually had an order filed on me once, it took 30 days to get to a judge, then they let me out before I got my day in court. They really play games with you.
