I'm talking about the things you are put through when youre honest about your suicidal ideations. Especially if you also have no money/home. Its akin to torture, and you are already suicidal. It's a higher cost then any one that involves money.

worst part about it is they don't even care about you in those places. you are just a liability and are treated as such
