Freakn finallly! mixing mental health with a imate with dexot, i had to falsely claim suicide, to get my self meds faster, since ive been taking psyc medication since i was a kid,on the call it states i need help, meaning, psycatric. but the police took it differently, i couldnt get my medication for weeks i was told i needed to get paper work, so then i made the false statement,the poor regular population, had to ALL ON LOCKDOWN cause of this bs. then i get moved. it was even scarier. but not as bad as actual psycatric hospitals, espcialy university pavillion.
