In Texas, we’ve heard our Governor Greg Abbott say repeatedly that gun control was not the issue, we needed more Mental Health support. Here we are a year after the mass shooting at Uvalde and all we’ve heard is the same ole politics.
I had a Mental Health crisis and ended up with a gun pulled on me, very traumatic. I was lucky to be in front of my house and had my phone.
If you have a severe Mental Illness, you never know when you might have a crisis away from home. These tips will help if the Police get involved.
Have a card in your wallet that states:
Your name
What type of Mental Illness do you have
Your contact information or the contact of a family member
Doctors contact information
Wearing a medical bracelet would help since it’s one of the first things Police look for
Why are these tips important so important?
If you have a serious crisis there’s a chance you’re hallucinating, psychotic, or in a state where you are not aware of what you are doing. You’ll probably encounter a Police officer and having the information on you will help Police better understand how to help you.
My personal advice is to never buy a gun or other weapon. You could easily hurt or kill someone if your mind is not stable.
