MY life has spun out of control. Im doing things i never saw myself doing. In the past i went to mental hospitals for suicide and cutting. Im now 18 and did well with not cutting for 8 months. Now my life is gone bad and worse then eveer before. im using drugs drinking and cutting. I want to stop and help myself, but have not been able to. i cant do this alone. a good friend suggested i got tot the hospital again and i think its a good idea. But now im 18 and not livign off my parents anymore. i cannot afford to go to the hospital. What should i do? Do hospitals have to take patients that are a danger to themselves even if they cannot pay the bills? how does that work. and no i dont have insurance and im not getting it any tiem soon.

You don't say what country you are in but if you are in the United States there are all kinds of free services. Call the hospital and ask them what you need to do or any women's services. Good luck please get help asap and no I do not think a hospital in the US can turn you down if you show up in the ER

Please go to the Hospital for an evaluation no matter what your financial status. Your health and well being are the most important thing you have. Keep yourself safe. You have a good friend there. Let her support you emotionally during your journey to wellness. You have a great start recognizing you need help.
Best wishes to you.
