would phoning a suicide hotline help, maybe they have the answers. Why are they turning someone in need away?

The hotline told her to go to the hosp. her worker came down and told her to go home???

Sometimes its simply a matter of not having beds available, its sad but that has happened to a couple friends of mine

This is day 6 for her and she's not on meds right now either, and she has no one close by to help, she's in bad shape

Why is she not on meds? There has to be a reason the worker told her to go home I don't understand, if she is hurting so bad why would they do this to her?

We had the same problem when my boyfriend agreed to get into hospital. They turned us away because he'd gone down there voluntarily. Just over a month later he'd reached his worst, done lots of damage & had to go back & literally beg them to let him in.

Persist!Ring, go down there & make it known she desperately needs to be admitted. Threaten to ring the media, your local government member & anyone else who'll listen.Chances are you may not even need to do that, sometimes a threat can be enough.

She obviously feels that she needs to be in hospital to get better & I think it's terrible that they've turned her away.

I'm far away from her so just communicating by phone and mail...I told her to scream and yell till she gets admitted but..she's alone and weak....hope she can scream loud enough

The key is ....if she's a danger to herself or others they have to admit her. Even if she's not suicidal...say she is...tell them she can't be safe out on her own...then they have to admit her. Sometimes you have to play the system a bit. Its sad and its hard on the conscious....but sometimes it has to be done. And really if she's at her end rope...then she really isn't safe. Just really stress that self harm is inevitable if she doesn't get help now. She just has to be strong enough to tell them that and be forceful about getting the help. Does she have a neighbor that can go with her to the hospital. She needs an advocate. You might be able to call on her behalf as well. She could take her cell phone with her and have you talk to the doctor.

I don't know of any hospital around where I live that would turn you away. Can she find another hosptial or just demand to be treated?

That is insane, that she is being turned down. But sometimes the people that need the most help, have the hardeset time finding it. Try as hard as you can is all I can say sadly... JUst do all you can, I will pray for you.

Keep trying, and trying, and trying, and trying. Don't give up.
