As a nurse who works psych ER it seems that perhaps you are in the right place for now. I am new to these threads but looked up what others have posted. I think it is great that you chose to go voluntary. I know it can be frustrating for people that come in voluntary and are then given restrictions or told that if they leave they will be placed on a hold. It might be hard to accept but in a way it does validate your choice in being admitted voluntarily in that you were right in seeking help.
