Wow. I just got off the phone with my dad and NH is just plain s***ty with ER psych stuff lately. Last time I was there was pretty recently. I was manic, substance use completely out of control, hadn't slept more than 3 hours straight in 2.5 maybe 3 months, was hearing things, told them about my severe paranoid delusions that I 100% thought were real (some pretty scary shyt too as you guys know), and all I got was a four hour wait and some hydroxyzine that didn't work.

Well, someone my dad knows was in a standoff with the police; it was on the news and it was pretty intense. He was having some sort of episode. Went to the ER voluntarily after, waited 8 hours, got sent home. Nice guy too.

If the super manic & psychotic and/or violent/suicidal/homicidal that want help don't get help, who does?
