I thought that a “zine” was short for “magazine.”

Language is a dynamic thing.

I got approved for 30 days of short term disability so far. She said that’s just to get me started, and it can definitely be extended if needed!!

Gotta get paperwork started and find a psych hospital!!

That's great news! Congrats!

Why do you need to find a psych hospital? If you're in crisis your doctor or therapist should find one for you.
Is it a requirement for your short-term leave?

You don’t need a psych hospital to be on short-term disability.

Everyone keeps putting words in my mouth.

I need a psych hospital bc im suicidal.

I understand you don’t have to be in a psych hospital to be on short term disability, I never said you did...

Yes my therapist is helping me but I am capable of participating in this process as well.

I didn't know that you felt suicidal. I'm sorry you're feeling such despair and feeling misunderstood.

In a mental health crisis if you feel suicidal, you can call 911 for emergency intervention.

I hope you find the care you need.
