I have borderline personality disorder as well as PTSD, and for the past week i have been over the top stressed; i dont know how to explain it other than acute stress.
I was considering going to the ER in hopes of getting some med to help calm me down, i cant eat, cant sleep, cant do anything... My body is in terrible pain.
But i am not going becuz i am afraid of being kept in the mental ward... I was put in the hospital 2 years ago for a suicide attempt, and i am a cutter, i havent cut in a month though so i dont have any recent wounds, just scars...
What are my rights as a citizen, meaning, what would it take for them to put me in the hospital against my will? And what does it NOT take, if that makes sense?
OK let me put it one more way cuz i really need someones thoughts... If i just go in for acute stress, will they give me something then release me, or granted my past, will they keep me? Thank you
