I considered admitting myself, so I bought and brought some comfort items (A blanket and a plushie), and was told I would not be able to keep them for "Sanitary reasons." When I told them I was no longer comfortable with being or staying there they took my meds away from me and threatened to have me detained for 72 hours since I didn't want to go behind the locked doors, due to PTSD I have from the way staff in this place treated me when I was a kid. I asked to leave and they repeatedly refused to let me leave, when I was only in the lobby, and ended up getting 5 staff members to surround me, I felt very threatened and it gave me an active PTSD attack, that I was still suffering from the day after, I went home and cried, the entire process made my mental health *significantly* worse than it already had been when I was considering being admitted. Plushes and blankets are *not* sanitary issues in places like these, they can be checked and washed, that was simply a power play from the staff and them wanting to remove any comfort and make their patients feels worse
