[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a horrible experience with this. My therapist called the police, who then handcuffed me and brought me to an office. I talked briefly to a therapist but never received any help. They took my phone and said “good luck calling a Uber”. The police officer laughed while I was using the bathroom (she had to come in with me), and I’ve been diagnosed with PTSD now. I honestly don’t know what to do at this point, so get help but be careful. I asked to get help voluntarily, but I was handcuffed and got no help. Just make sure your therapist listens[/quote]

Holy shit, I think you should talk with a lawyer. Were you threatening to kill other people besides yourself? Did you have a gun? I can't imagine why you were handcuffed - did you refuse to go with the police voluntarily? [/quote]

I was not, and I didn’t even have a “plan”. I just felt like I was at the end of my rope, I asked about voluntary programs (and my husband was right there with me), and next thing I knew the cops were at my door. I have contacted a lawyer and it’s a slow slog because the police are saying they were obligated to do it. I wanted to go voluntarily. I do have photos of bruises on my wrists and a bruise where the officer hit me (she claims I couldn’t stand), but I really regret that day.[/quote]

I have a hard time understanding how hitting someone would help them to stand ... [/quote]
