I had a breakdown over a chick once and went to the ER for quick help to calm down. They sent me home in a cab and it dropped me off at a psych ward where they took me inside.

Like you, they told me I was fine, but I still couldn't leave. And I had a job that they wouldn't let me call to explain.

Crap.

Ah.. that was when I was around 21, I'm 36 now. Since then I've learned how to deal with abuse from women. ;)

But, honestly, I needed someone to talk to that wasn't my friends who heard me whine about it all the time... it was before the whole internet explosion. I do have to say that after the whole incident, I was DAMN sure that I was okay and glad to be out. Was definitely an eye-opener.

Did they have a big table with people drawing things with their fists?

Mind did.

I beat up some kid that I caught my fiancee with at a bar, then she dumped me (all at the same time). I got pretty upset and started having some type of anxiety attack or panic attack. I ended up almost wrecking my car on the way home, so I went to the ER to see if they could do something about my breathing and heart. They gave me a massive dose of xanax and said that they didn't want me committing suicide because I was going nuts.

Anyway, I found out that a lot of people in my family get panic attacks, so I learned something new. BUT, I wouldn't put that much emotion in a girl ever again. Was young and naive.

They don't think you're wise enough to make the decision to leave, but financial decisions are definitely not off the board. You'd have to be insane to want to pay.... but... maybe it's a test o_O
