When you have a mental illness they say “if you feel as if you are a danger to yourself or others, seek immediate help” which usually means the ER. These places are for those of us in the most helpless situations and in need of the most care. ![]() Psychiatric hospitals are where we all go when we’ve run out of options. What happens to those of us with critical mental health issues is unacceptable and I hope in this version I can accurately convey the hidden truth only we who have been there would know. The first time I wrote this I was filled with rage as I wrote each word on the paper. I want to preface this post by saying this is the second version of this story.
