Why are there no psychiatric hospitals that arent tied to drug addiction? Also I was at one where they forced me to share a bathroom with a strange man that I didn't know, allowed a patient to try and crack his head open twice, all patients were on the same meds a high dose of Gabapentin and a small dose of Abilify, I truthfully believe they used the high dose of Gabapentin as a sedative. The nurses threatened me when I couldn't eat because of my migraines, I never once saw an MD just a nurse practitioner, the guard sexually harassed me for the duration of my stay and they would only release people on Mondays or Fridays, it didn't matter if you were fine after the 72 hour hold, those couple extra days they held me for no reason made them several thousands of dollars.

I went through my mother's suicide when I was 22, she killed herself to be vindictive towards me but that doesn't even compare to the trauma those 6 days caused.

My brother was sent to juvenile hall for a month because he wouldn't accept my mothers "charges" which were a lie. She wouldn't drop them and he being a good man wouldn't lie but someone decided it was a good idea to leave a child in there for a month? Not only that but my mother was fucking insane. She used an institution to institute abuse on him and the institution let him go right back to her. A year or so later she would be in jail and the man they kept for a month was on his own at 17. He now almost has his masters in engineering. My mom is now dead from suicide. Which one became a productive member of society? Im sure my brother has trauma from that month but he doesnt talk about it. My question is why? Why was he treated so? Why wasnt my mother looked into for abuse? Why was his rights deferred to my mother?

Thank you! I am so sorry for what you went through. I guess I don't understand why the place you go when you're in crisis makes it so much worse? How does that make any sense? Ive had suicidal times since then and I have no clue where to go because I am terrified of going to the ER and being admitted. What are we suppose to do....

What about possibly helping the chronic pain community which is now struggling with suicide because of the lack of pain control in their medical care? We are being thrown under the bus because of people overdosing on illicit substances or street made opiates. You say you are sad for people committing suicide but literally no one except for a few Pain management doctors are advocating for us, and when we express our concerns we are dismissed or called addicts ourselves. Doctors are forcing patients on dangerous tapering schedules or forcing them to go cold turkey. We are dying and people couldn't care less. My husband and I both know I probably wont be able to live much longer in this high of pain yet try telling a doctor that, they will most likely roll their eyes and think you are being dramatic or trying to get drugs even though I have documentation since I was a child of my disease. I have been in 24/7 pain for 15 years since I was 12 Im too tired to do this anymore.

Dude I predict rain better than the weatherman from my migraines. Since you are studying the link, you should see that people actually pick up and move but how do you decide where? I live in Utah, but Ive also been at sea level. Where do people usually go?
