Can you provide more details? Like how the interactions went down, what else did they find, and if you were forced to go to the ward or if you had a choice. If you feel comfortable sharing cuz I think it would help other people decide.
Was it similar to their experience, but this was from last year and I believe they didn't order from DSL: http://sanctioned-suicide.net/threads/welfare-check-canada.203974/#post-2980652

I didn't order from dsl. my package had been in customs for like a week or so before it all went down. I heard them outside my dorm saying info about me before they came up and like kinda immediately assumed what it would be so they knocked on the door and I answered and they said "are you [x]" and I said "yes" and they responded "you don't seem very surprised to see a bunch of police at your door". I let them come in, they asked why I thought they were there, I kinda answered something like c'mon we both know don't make me say it. I kinda blacked out for a lot of it, but they kinda said "we're gonna go to the hospital, okay?" I didn't think I was allowed to argue, so I went with them. I didn't get certified until in the ward, and they had a dr come see me. I think you could like your way out of it, but for me I was so completely scared and in shock I couldn't. like I feel there it was very unlikely I would have gotten out of being taken to the hospital cause like even going agreeably they had someone come into my room to watch me while I got dressed before leaving, so I think the suggesting going to the hospital was non negotiable. once I got there and talked to a nurse I told her the truth and she was wonderful and understanding, one of the only ones there. I got like checked by a Dr who wasn't even psych related and he certified me for 48 hours, again I didn't lie, and then in the morning I saw a psychiatrist who certified me for up to a month, I didn't lie to her, but she was given the information that id ordered a "suicide kit" online. by the time id spoken to her I was just so exhausted that I couldn't care to lie. the night before I was shaking so bad from anxiety (five cops showing up at ur door is terrifying) that they thought I was going thru alcohol withdrawals, I wasn't. it was just anxiety. I'm lucky that the month in the ward didn't tank my life too bad, I failed one class, and owe like 3000$ back in student loans, but mostly I've gotten out of it okay. being in the ward wasn't too bad, but it wasn't good. and they absolutely do not offer any continued support afterwards. they don't even let you know how to get renewed prescriptions for the meds they start you on LMAO

I would like to add that I have a history of being certified and that I visibly look unwell (extensive self harm scars and wounds at the time, and also I hadn't showered for over a week, I looked very visibly unwell) I don't know if things would have turned out differently if I'd lied or tried to get out of it, but I think my whole being kinda made it so they'd take me in regardless.

Thank you very much for sharing. Your perspective helps a lot. I am not really in your situation but I am sure other people are, like with a history of self-harm so I am sure it'll help those people decide and potentially calm their anxiety.

I am very sorry you had to go through that and I hope you are doing much better now.

I thought you were joking at first, I am so sorry, I hope that you are able to recover from this traumatic experience and I am really sorry!
