Most of the time you don't have to go before a judge, like I just talked to a couple of attorney people.

This is what is wrong with our system. If you try to kill yourself, there is no reason to go to court. That is the last thing that should be on your mind. Getting healthy is the first priority and I don't need some judge deciding my fate! Please call your pdoc and get in as soon as you can. I hate when they put restriction on you but then don't take the necessary steps to make sure you are safe by having a psychiatric team on call for you. Hugs
