@ryanhoulihan Yeah, fuck that.
Like, in both of the cases where I've forced someone to go into a managed-care environment, they were at imminent risk. In one case they were bashing their head against a metal door after deteriorating over the course of 48 hours. In the other case, they had intentionally cut up the soles of their feet in a drunken, misguided effort to hide a relapse into alcoholism and self-harm.
In a third case, I was able to convince the person to check themselves in, after they told me they had tried to drown themselves in the bath and failed.
"Being trans and depressed/bipolar" ain't that :\
@ryanhoulihan And in all three cases I did my best to help them myself first; only resorted to managed care when it became obvious it was way out of my league.
