Came here in a really brutal mental state (depression, anxiety, and severely wanted to die and harm myself) in attempt to reach out for help but was not taken seriously at all because my arms and legs weren t blown off. I would have never come to a hospital had my mental state not been as bad as it was, but my experience here has taught me that mental illness is still extremely misunderstood and isn t taken seriously until you re at the the top of a building about to jump or already dead. To summarize just don t come here for mental illness related problems. I m sorry for all the patients coming in here who are dying and understand the triage system. If i could trade my mental illness for 2 broken arms and a rib I would, at least someone then would take my pain and condition seriously since it was visible. That s what coming here with mental illness feels like.
