They asked to speak with me. While I was insisting to them that I was not suicidal one of them grabbed me, handcuffed me, and I was taken to the psych ward of the local hospital.
The whole thing was a nightmare. I was grilled by 2 very jaded pdocs, had a horrible, sleepless night. The next day I was finally let go. The discharge nurse told me that they're seeing more people brought in nowadays for misunderstood Facebook posts. Just so wrong.
If I could go back in time I would never have joined Facebook.

I had multiple people telling me to take my life, threaten to harm but when I went to the police no one cares about what happen to me. I'm sorry that you had to experience that over a misunderstanding.
