I want a few weeks where I can get stable and get a grip on my life, but there are no places around here and even if there were I couldn't pay.
I have ins but we are a middle class family with not much left at the end of the month. A lot of you seem lucky to have a place to go if needed.

this is easy .........public mental health.........the laws changed a few years ago
aslong as u need it they have to let u in....and keep u until stable on meds then they can release u ( it is because of the crazies with guns )
medicaid this is how it works .......30 days paid by the federal government after the 30 days the state has to pick up the tap
checking into a IP is easier then making a Pb&J sandwich......walk in ...ask to sign yourself into the IP....do paperwork see the doctors talk to the doctors (say u want to kill yourself or others) and in the door u go (by law they have to take u in because if u leave and harm self or others they are legally on the hook)
