In Canada it depends if you get formed or not. If you get a form 3 I believe your doctor can keep you there for 48 hours I believe but you can take legal action to get yourself out of the hospital. A friend of mine did it but why would you want to take yourself out the doctors are only there to help you. Is it the stigma thing for you?

MOST hospitals will let people leave. BUT THEN if you want to come back they will say no.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
