I’m in Oklahoma. I went in voluntary a few months ago for suicidal ideation (which I think is a rational reaction to the events of November…)
They upgraded me to involuntary illegally (like, a single therapist accused me of lying when I said I was no longer suicidal, and made the call to hold me.) I had vape smoke blown in my face, was misgendered and assaulted by staff.
I won’t call 988 or any service like that ever. There is no accountability or safety here
Never call 988. Choose life or choose death, do not choose the additional 25 thousand dollar bill, degradation, trauma, and suffering that comes from 988. It’s a trap and the only people who win are big pharma, psychiatric inpatient facility investors or owners, and rich psychiatrists who sling drugs (that barely do more than a placebo), sling false hope, and sling financial exploitation.
My brother used to threaten to kill himself. My mom ended up calling the cops and they took him away on a 5150. They ended up electrocuting him in the facility. No wonder I don’t trust suicide hotlines or therapists.

Just say no to 988!

Just for context, 988 is a Canadian suicide crisis helpline.
That’s so disappointing that one of the first resources that comes up when searching for help would be, essentially, a trap.
