This was earlier today:::
Well, it has been awhile since I have been back. Thanks for the replies. I am having an advocate come and see me today. I am not sure the outcome. But she feels something is not right. I have also come to know that the hospital forged my signature on consent forms the day I was taken to jail. That is being investigated by my insurance.

It feels all confusing. But the way the advocate tells me is that being put in jail and released with evidence of self- harm and admittance to want to self harm and just being let go, needs to be looked in to. As far as the State Board I have heard nothing yet.

I just do not want any more ppl to go through this. I am in so much emotional pain that I just want to quit. I am glad I got a hold of someone that is willing to travel 65 miles to come talk to me about it.
I will keep you all posted. And thanks all!

The advocate came and saw me. It was a very enlightening this situation. From my understanding my rights were taken away. I should have never been placed in jail. The social worker does not even have the authority to so what she has done. No degree.

She got signed released forms to get info from the jail, police and hosp. She is going to run it by her legal team.
My insurance is going forward to deal with the forgeries of Consent and financial paperwork. They are investigating it, not sure what the outcome will be.

Now the Advocate does not sue or do legal stuff. But she can get the ball rolling as far as 'changing" things in the community. She is going to hook me up with a group that has a voice about Mental Health.

She offered some suggestions about finding help again...

I have a list of attorneys that she gave me. But for right now. I feel so relieved. I knew something was wrong. And, it was. Feels great to get your power back.
Thanks all who posted. It has been a long road and still may be. But I got through half of it.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
