I've never been to the hospital. But I'll tell you there are times when the intensity of everything in my head and my episodes happening that I think maybe I should go. Then I remember it will cost me around $8,000. So I just ride it out as best I can.

Because I tell you when you know you need help but there isn't any help, it's scary. And really lonely.

And I can tell you there were times when my MIL would go to the hospital voluntarily many years ago. She would decide she was too bad and we'd take her to the ER and they would hold her. Only once did she actually get admitted for over a week. But she says its not a place you like going but in those times she needed to go so she did.
