My first time someone came to my little glass window and said "if you were going to attempt to kill yourself would you tell someone?" and I said "why would I tell anyone?" and that was the wrong answer. They kept me for the whole 72 hours.

The second time they asked me I said "yes of course I would reach out to loved ones for help" and I got out of that in like 18 hours. But then I actually did try to kill myself like that same day and they were onto my game and I now I dont get the benefit of the doubt anymore lol.
