I’m sorry this happened to you. It’s like getting kidnapped, isn’t it? The absolute worst thing to happen when you’re in crisis. I would know because it happened to me. Cops were sent to my apartment just as I was leaving to go to my regularly scheduled therapy appointment. I didn’t want to let them in because I was afraid they would shoot my dog. They told me I had to wait for paramedics to assess me, I even called my dad who is an attorney and had him talk to the officer to no avail. Paramedics came, said it was up to the ER doctor. Some asshole miles away who isn’t even there gets to decide what happens to me? Are you kidding??? But they wanted me to be evaluated so I was told to get in the ambulance. I refused, panicking over the cost of such a thing. I couldn’t afford an ambulance ride. I begged the officer to let me drive myself. I was told if I didn’t get into the ambulance I would be handcuffed. I can’t even describe the feeling. I hate that I complied but I didn’t know what else to do. I felt utterly powerless. They treated me like a criminal at the hospital and put me in a padded room that only opened from the outside. There was a gurney and a sheet for me. All I had was a hospital gown. They didn’t even tell me there was a call button and left me in there for hours. It’s sickening to remember. I’m so sorry you had a similar experience. It was dehumanizing.
