There are times when getting someone on a 72 hour hold has been too difficult. I have been in situations where getting a 72 hour hold was necessary but was not possible. I'm glad it worked out for you. I can see both sides of it. I wish I knew a good solution.

I mean, speaking as someone who was clinically depressed for 25+ years, and about 20 of those years highly violent/homicidal/suicidal, in my opinion, a good solution would be to allow those of us with daily emotional pain and no regard for human life, access to cheap and mediated suicide assistance. Suicide is a human right.
