You wording, ‘I don’t want to die….I just don’t want to live like this anymore,’ are the exact words that I tell my husband. He is the kindest, most caring loving person but he can’t comprehend what it feels like to have insomnia, brain fog, heart palpitations, tremors, no appetite, etc. I panicked in November and went to the emergency room. I told them how I was feeling — big mistake. They pretty much kidnapped me and sent me to a lock down facility. They threatened that if I didn’t go voluntarily, they would call a Judge and send me wherever they pleased. I had to comply. Then another visit to the ER due to dehydration, caused them to lock me up in their “secret” behavioral health suite where I was watched and reported on every 15 minutes. The takeaway from this, don’t ever say “I don’t want to die….’to a mental health provider or hospital.
