I got a safety check from the police via my therapist at the time. I'm diagnosed BPD with major depression. Also I'm a woman. When they got to my house they threw me down on the ground, refused to talk to me or listen and then hauled me off to a local hospital who released me because they felt I wasn't a danger to myself (which I wasn't). It was humiliating.

I miss my California punk rock hippies. And my 20's. My crew was into bus mods and tree forts but rafting looks hella fun. Thank you for sharing memories.

I wasn't even having a breakdown. I was talking to them clearly and rationally. I asked them about refusing medical attention and they said I was going to the hospital one way or another, either via ambulance or police car (ie arrested).

I ended up meeting with the police chief after the event and told him the hospital let me go 4 hours after the police brought me in. He was shocked. He thought it was a 24 hour hold, must not have filled out the right paperwork. Then he shamed me because I have children and I 'shouldn't be acting this way'.
