lol I worked hospital security...somewhere, and I would be afraid. Potential for a minimum 72 hour eval in a disgusting, locked down mental health unit in the emergency room with all your belongings taken from you and having to wear itchy paper scrubs you can't hang yourself with. Legitimately losing your freedom. One time a persons trailer park supervisor filled out paperwork on them and they got brought in by the PD. Taken in cuffs from their home because someone else said they were suicidal. Fucking ridiculous. Then if you do have issues, you'll probably be stuck there for weeks eating meds all day just to get through your misery while you wait to be sent to the state hospital for actual treatment, and be miserable there too. If you get pissed and freak out? Restrained to the bed and meds in your ass. The systems fucked, nurses crying at work and shit because it's all so fucked.

Yeah because I would have any motivation to make this up. Go work in the emergency room and see 10 year olds on psych holds for 3 weeks straight sitting in a room all day losing their mind because their parents suck and see if it still "reeks". Fucking moron.
