Just wanted to vent since the "resources" allotted are TRASH
Yesterday I was unfortunately low enough to text the 988 line and made the mistake of falling asleep after mentioning contemplating not living anymore. Cut to me getting woken up the fire department seconds from breaking into my home in my complex.
I ending up being told by moody ems that I had no option but to go with them. I couldn't go to work, I now have to explain this random occurrence to my job. On top of that I was taken to st.mary's hospital which i don't recommend to anyone. I was met with an even more moody attitude because I stated I did not want to be treated even before I was admitted I said i was not suicidal.
72 hour hold placed, stripped with the door open the whole process. Luckily the evualtion proved i was indeed NOT suicidal and I was discharged within 3 hours of admittance. Even before I was discharged I asked the staff how I would be getting home since I was medically abducted to the hospital. I was told "I don't know" I did ask if they provided services to get people brought by ems home and was told no.
Before I embarked on "the long walk" I called the non emergency line and explained to them I was stranded and how this because to be. Not only was I met with dismissiveness but I was told to reach out to people I know at 1 am for a ride home or get an uber of which I know i couldn't do because bills were paid. So I walked 4 hours on the expressway from taylor bvld to the symrna exit on gene Snyder 4+ hours. From 264 to i65 south to Nashville to the gene Snyder.
I think if anything all of this has pushed me further into mental health issues I've been home only two hours (this was drafted at 6am) and my knee and back injuries from previous times have really flared up and im just thinking about day drinking anytime i feel like texting the 988 line.
