I just remembered something while I was at the psych facility. I remember mentioning something to one of the staff there when I was referring something back to the hospital (the actual hospital) E.R. while talking to them. The person was like, "What are you talking about? This is the emergency room." Now that I think about it, I think I was basically put in a psych waiting/holding room. This system is so stupid. They were literally going to keep me there for 72 hour involuntary hold? I'm so glad/lucky I was able to do my best to get the hell out of there as soon as possible and do my best to make it seem like I was perfectly fine. If I honestly stayed there for 48 hours or more, I would have literally gone absolutely crazy. How can you keep someone who is determined to be a 5150 and extremely unstable in that setting/area? Like, I did not ONCE have someone come evaluate me or do an assessment. And absolutely nothing to do or keep yourself busy so people being held there either just stay in a bad state or get worse. I will never ever go back.
