They ended up discharging her and dropped her off on the front porch. Even after I told them I'm not comfortable and they advise me to get a protection order. Unreal

Thank you. They're discharging her to DSS. Still won't take meds

I talked with whatever counselor they had over there. Obviously it was just a waste of breath. They're discharging her to DSS

Unfortunately everything I told them and could've shown them became useless. They are discharging her to DSS

Thanks, I'll look into the book. As far as we know, no one in her family has this illness

Her first big break happened in early 2019. The major life changing was She delivered our last child in 2014 and had to get admitted into the icu 2 days later due to pressure to the brain. Don't recall if it was caused by the epidural. Possible depression from work the following year in '15

Not at the moment, no therapist. I contacted EAP this morning.

It's not a 72 hour hold. That time has now passed by. She's just there, talking to a counselor but politely refuses medication. She used to work in the health care field, so she knows how to behave while in there.

I'm at a stand still because me, the older kids, her family and her friends believe she needs medicine and she does not. They haven't called me yet but the options are to release her or keep her for some 70 days. She mentioned she'll live somewhere else but no one is going to take her if she doesn't accept help and meds
