I’ll chime in on the IP situation for me and my area.

The only time I have even gone to the Er to hopefully find a IP bed was when I had already hurt myself or very suicidal and I had a plan worked out and had intent.

In September I made a serious attempt I spend a few days in our local hospital to make sure I would survive ( I wasn’t conscious) before I was transported to a IP and it was over 110 miles North.

There needs to be a lot more psych hospitals to help more people.

I truly wish there was a IOP near me because I think a few times if that was available I could have pulled through with out a true IP stay.
