In the states, being suicidal gets you institutionalized in a place that will not help. These places are straight out of One Flew Out of the Coockoos Nest. There is no regulation. There is no oversight.
Imagine wanting to die and being punished for it. There’s a reason suicide rates increase after inpatient hospitalization.
The places I’ve seen in Europe actually seem to try to help their patients. I’ve seen TikTok videos from people staying inpatient in places in the UK - they’re allowed to have their phones there.
Getting help with ideation is impossible, because if you cross that line and admit to much you get treated like a fucking criminal.
Being under toxic stress and realizing there is no help. That seeking out help only makes the problem worse. Trying to talk to people about it and “have you tried therapy?”
Yeah, I paid thousands of dollars for someone to throw worksheets at me. I was stupid enough to go inpatient and lost my job, so now I can’t even pay for the fucking worksheets.

The government owns your body and gets upset when you try to damage their property.
It’s the only reason the system is set up how it is.
It’s so goddamned fucking frustrating.

I literally have no idea what to fucking do.
