When I attempted suicide, I was in restraints being transported to the hospital and then once in the hospital room, they took them off giving me the opportunity to run away. They (obviously) caught me again and put me in restraints again. For me, the restraints were the least traumatizing part of the whole experience and I found they kept me safe. 

I’m hearing from other people that being in restraints is very traumatizing. 

Do you guys have an opinion on the usage of restraints in emergency situations? 

Restraints definition: cloth around wrist and ankles keeping you to the bed.
