Im with greenleaves. I never want to go back again. I didn't have the choice of keeping clothed in the ER what I refused to remove they took, and then body searched me and I was on the unit two weeks the first and second times and three weeks on the third because I punched a wall after being raped. you won't find me in another mental health unit. This is why I filled out my therapy agencys directives for mental health treatment forms. I wrote in there that I am not to be hospitalized if there were any other options available. and who my therapist and representatives are. If the hospital personnel dont accept my wish then legally they have no choice but to contact my representative and therapist. and both of those people know I don't want hospitalization and why and they agree that other options WILL be looked at before they recommend hospitalization for me. If the hospital wants to go against my wishes and my representatives wishes they have to go to court and the judge hears ALL sides and decides.
