I actually think being a danger to oneself or others really does cover a broad spectrum of behaviors. In your example, dylanzmama, you were never violent, but you did engage in behavior that put yourself in danger. You walking into a strangers house may not have put the stranger in danger, but it did put you in danger. A dog could have bitten you, the homeowner could have shot you, etc. I thinkthat could fit under the "danger to yourself" umbrella, and so can a lot of behaviors. Its not just talking about violence against someone, or literally injuring yourself.
