I really wish there were better resources out there than a hotline that results in you being thrown in a locked down "padded" room in a hospital where nobody has any business taking care of or treating mental health patients.

This is speaking of the U.S. obviously, for anyone that doesn't know that this is the outcome for way, way too many people trying to get help.

I'm currently on contract at a TINY hospital in the middle of freaking NOWHERE. We had a nine year old boy locked in an empty room for WEEKS. Weeks. Shuffled him around some, then he'd come back for a few more WEEKS.

Health care in this country is absolutely fucking garbage, and mental health care is the slime that gathers in the bottom of the landfill.
