I'm sorry you were sent home when you felt better there. If you do not feel safe, go back. Our health care system is strained so you need to fight for what you need. Its not fair, but you have to advocate for yourself.
You are important. Your issues matter. This is not a reflection of you.

Okay, thank you for that information. It was just the previous time I went to emer, they had a free bed available.
I don’t know. They asked me how I felt as soon as I woke up. Nothing really happened because I was asleep... and then they asked a bit later, but I was quite anxious there too, and I said that I still felt bad, but not like last night. I did mention last night that I didn’t want to be alone or with family. No one really listened I guess. As soon as I left I felt everything that I entered with, and more... I don’t feel important. I wish I had some physical issue rather than this. Then people would know what to do.
