Yes I hear you and double that on waiting for a bed. I got to the hospital at noon, sat in a chair with armed guards for 5 hours, and the psychiatric nurse did my intake at 10pm. It was awful how many patients and workers in the ER stared at me sitting in a chair crying with 2 guards. One guy was 6' like they really needed 2?! I just wanted you to know if suicide is mentioned you are owned. Meaning you do not leave of your own volition. They will put you somewhere no matter if it's a place that takes your insurance or is a 45 min private ambulance drive. So, I hope you're going in as a regular case because I totally regretted it when I felt so powerless and like a hospital liability. But it sounds like where you're going they aren't going to look at you like your taking up a bed for the people who are "really" sick.
