Sadly no, I wouldn't be surprised because I've a slippery sock vacation. Thankfully I had insurance but my share was still like 3k?

I'm talking about the things you are put through when youre honest about your suicidal ideations. Especially if you also have no money/home. Its akin to torture, and you are already suicidal. It's a higher cost then any one that involves money.

worst part about it is they don't even care about you in those places. you are just a liability and are treated as such

No, not really. You may be able to get a 72 hour observation here. Then you're on your own. I'm not even sure that's available since the pandemic.
