Locked up One Last Time

If anyone was worried about me or wondering why I haven’t posted in 8 days, it’s because I had a few bad stressors/triggers that led me into crisis! I had to call the crisis line Sunday night and then Monday and Tuesday I had to call 911! The cops took me to Palo Verde Mental Hospital (they kindly respected my request to not go to the CRC, handcuffed me in the front and were super nice)! I was finally discharged today after 8 nights, and one of my BFF’s picked me up and we met 2 of our other BFF’s for a delicious brunch! I did my best to let some friends and family know where I was, but I did not have my phone or access to my phone! I am going to rest and try to use my coping skills but am still excited to go full force with my foundation Stefanie’s Safe Space: Stopping the Stigma of Mental Illness. Came up with an awesome speech, business card ideas and a pamphlet idea! I’m looking forward to having so many fundraisers once my LLC is official and I have an LLC bank account and a website with a secure link to donate!! Much love to you all!! And remember.. as my BFF told me.. It’s okay to not be okay!!
