I have been voluntary twice. I do not go to the hospital near me. I was involuntary there once and it was terrible. So I drive about 40 minutes to a better one. It's inconvenient but worth it. You basically have to go to the emergency room and tell them what is going on and the psychiatrist or crisis team will come and evaluate you and admit you if they think you're a danger to yourself. I honestly attempted both of those times so I've never just gone in but they told me you don't have to attempt to get help and my future goal is to go ask for help instead of doing something stupid. If you feel unsafe please go get help. It's not worth it to try and stay out if you're unstable. Good luck.
