👁️👄👁️Females aren’t in any better of a situation. Mental health support funding is non existent and fucking me over right now :(
No insurance. I’ve been off my meds for about 8 months now, and I’m pretty sure I’m going to kill myself. Would love to get help, but I live in the south in the US. So if u say anything, they just put me in holding for 48 hours, and I have to lie the entire time to get out.
I just need meds and someone to talk to. I don’t feel like I’m asking a whole lot.
I’m assuming you’re exaggerating because you’re frustrated by the tough situation, but no they definitely don’t hold you for saying something like that. It’s unironically a luxury to get locked up. I’ve definitely been in a deep hole and have been where you are, and in a red state it’s extra bad. Still battling with it, but the first step is finding a job with any sort of insurance and going to see a general doctor for meds. No, they won’t lock you up, and they don’t want to lock you up until you’re in physical danger to yourself or others.
Florida has the baker act. I mentioned suicidal ideation and was locked away for 48 hours. So maybe fuck off with overall shit post.
That’s just on you bro, and no it doesn’t work that way, it’s not that extreme and expensive as hell to do that.
This feels like an incredibly unhelpful and almost gas-lighting response.
What actual experience do you have with mental health facilities? I’ve been through the system plenty, I know how it actually works.
I’m really sorry to hear about what you’re going through. I’ve removed your comment and the rest of this chain to avoid derailing. Mental health resources on the fediverse are still in the early stages but there is [email protected] that you may consider reaching out to.
Please don’t. You are a worthwhile human being. You may be able to find resources through a national or international organization, if they are not available locally.
You indeed aren’t asking a lot but the basics that any human is entitled to.
