How many times have you gone to IP?

it varies state to state.
and from collections company .
In arizona I was paying $5 every two weeks on auto pay and because I was making regular payments I was fine. This went on for years.... until they changed collection companies then they started calling me every week. I decided to pay off the balance, they gave me a 15 % discount if I paid in full. It was a ridiculous amount of money at the time but I needed to be hospitalized, was psychotic and had been off meds.I only stayed 3 days and it cost over $8K. I did not have insurance.
The first time that I was hospitalized I was full blown psychotic and stayed 5 days hospital...I don't remember having bills with the insurance policy that I had.
That was in Indiana.

2nd time in the last 6 months, 5th time all together. The first two were a direct result of ingesting too much LSD while manic. Scary times, I shudder just to think of the "world" I was in before the shot me full of thorazine.

I had been once every two years since I was 18 until 24. Some kind of pattern I guess & a lot of misdiagnosis. In some ways it helped but everytime they would add an AP and I would gain weight, I gained over 100 lbs over the years. Now being out for 5 years and off APs for a few years I have lost 65 lbs and am very happy. It is my #1 goal to stay out of there and off APs
