Intentionally vague use of "emergency situation" to encourage people to share. If you handle emergency situations as a profession, what's a particularly interesting one.

I just had the most traumatic one of my life this last few weeks.

Watched my bipolar brother refuse to admit he was manic for months as it got worse and worse. Dozens of friends and family trying to help, but him burning every bridge on the way down.

Somehow got his ass arrested for some violent crime, that nobody will even explain to me, and damn near killed in the process. I got to stand by helplessly as the police and the hospital give me no access, and allow him to continue to self sabatoge even his mental health legal defense, and put himself in more risk in county jail instead of the psych ward.

Promising career, ALMOST had student loan forgiveness from medical school, woulda had it in October, in big big trouble now!

It has sucked real bad so far, and we haven’t even hit trial yet.

    That sounds so difficult, I’m so sorry. Watching someone in mental health crisis and not being able to really do anything is such a terrible feeling. I hope you all find answers, help, and peace.
