The worst (and in hindsight, a little funny) story I can think of is after being brought unconscious to ER by ambulance from OD, a couple weeks later I received a "thank you for choosing our services" card in the mail...what!?!?!

I agree with the rest of the posts. They don't understand why we do it and most of them don't try to understand. The wait is always longer...maybe as punishment is what I think

I used to work in a hospital and found a rare few who would get mad at people who s/i. They would say the person was weak. So when I first s/i'd and all the other times I never went to the hospital for fear of coming across one of these idiots. But for the most part all of the rest were very compassionite. A few months later I had a girl in the lab cry because she was upset about my scars. She has been the only person who has reacted at all about them outside of mental health.
Thanks for this!
