Well, they sent a case worker from a company offering help to those of us who are cutters, depressed, etc. He went through some options as far as what to do if I am in the same situation. He gave me a number to call so I could speak to a trained psychologist for free if I ever need it. It was comforting.

Nurses took blood, and basically told me that I had to sober up before they did an evaluation on me.

When my breakup happened back in May, I admitted myself because of suicidal thoughts and actions. They took me up to the psych ward then. Let me tell you, you do not want to end up there. It's a cold waiting room filled with other patients (some not so much in their right mind) who are waiting to be evaluated. And you're there for hours, usually.

Fortunately, this time they spoke to me in my hospital bed. They just asked me basic questions, and I found it was extremely important to be totally honest with them, as uncomfortable as it was. They ended up telling me I seemed like I made a bad decision, but I was okay to be discharged. But thats not necessarily the case for everyone.

I hope this helped. Did I answer all of your questions?

Best of luck, really. We are a support system and are here for one another
