last time i was in the psych ward, they discharged me after a week because i was deemed "not a high risk" (mind you, i begged the cops to kill me prior to being taken there. when i was released, i spent weeks in a dissociative state barely eating anything and tried to run away due to severe paranoia (cue me napping in a random forest) and i relapsed w/ sh. mind you, the camhs team was supposed to visit me after but that never happened so since then, i've just been sort of winging it and things have been going downhill lately.
to summarise, the system definitely needs an overhaul. if literally being super duper high risk isn't enough, what about people with lower risk isues that still want help before things spiral out of control?
