I was hospitalized against my will. Police brought me to a hospital for evaluation when they had reason to believe I was going to harm myself. I was depressed for a couple of days but I was largely over it when the police came to my local library to take me away. I was taken to a local hospital where various tests were done on me against my will. Blood and urine tests were done, an EKG was taken, and a CT scan on my head was taken. Next I was taken to another mental hospital against my will. I stayed their 4 weeks. I finally got out by agreeing to medication. I don't know how long I would have been hospitalized if I continued fighting my hospitalization.
