Calming and comforting hugs,

Hugs here for support

Thank you both

What's happening, darling? we are all here XXX

I don't what to go through anymore

Just breathe hon. We've all been through that here and got through it. Call a suicide hotline if you can and talk it through. A problem shared often loses its urgency. Keep posting and let us know how you are doing.

Suicide hotline sent the police to my house. There was a SWAT team at my front door. They Baker acted me for three days. Now I have no food for a week and a half because I had to pay a pet sitter to look after my dogs. And I mean none.

Never again. They should have lobotomized me and ended it.

They need to warn people about what they could be put through if they call that number when suffering panic attacks

I never would have called that number if I had known it wasnt confidential.

I feel humiliated and sucker punched

Hello Jasmine. Welcome to the forum.

Sorry you were Baker Acted. Hope healing happens here. I'm not sure how far lobotomies have progressed since "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," but I think I am still glad they didn't get that far when they Baker Acted you.

Dunno. . . I still wonder sometimes if a Jack Nicholson style lobotomy could be the answer to my own psychoweirds, but. . . I haven't volunteered yet. . . Maybe next week.

For now? ? ? Just breathe. . .

Welcome aboard.

I hope they rot in hell.

They retraumatized me, are probably billing my insurance right now and left me to rot with no food for a week and a half.

I'll just eat grass out on the lawn

Thanks for "saving my life" suicide hotline.

Gentle hug Jasmine …. This is a good place to come......xo

Suncloudjd, I'm not opening up anymore.

For all I know this site will do the same thing if I'm having a bad night.

If I am ever really going to kill myself I will not be calling or posting anywhere trust me.


I just needed someone to talk to and vent.

My divorce was difficult and painful and devastating financially.

They'll come to my door, embarass and frighten me and my dogs, but funny no one's giving me money for food or dropping any off at my front door.

Thanks for caring so much about my life, right?

What a bunch of BS

Jasmine11, I got Baker acted in 2000 while I was going through a divorce. It was from a phone call made by members of a Buddhist meditation group I'd belonged to for 5 years. I know they meant well having heard about my anxiety in the group, but I talked about it there because meditation was there to help me through it.

They put me through hell, too. I was taken in on a Friday and had to spend the weekend tied naked to a gurney until my psychiatrist and I took them all to court on Monday. My psychiatrist furiously told the judge I was no more a danger to myself than anyone else in that courtroom, and I was released. But they made my divorce proceedings worse for me after that went on the court's record.

Needless to say, I never went to that meditation group again. Didn't get an apology from them, though, either. I'm still ticked off about that much.

I'm sorry to say I know your pain.

THIS should be against the law

They emotionally devastated people and add insult to injury.

It's disgraceful.

I'm sorry it happened to both of us.
