Hey anons, how many of you have been hospitalized for mental health issues? What got you in there? How many times were you admitted? What were your experiences like?
Pic obviously unrelated
>Self admitted after plotting my own sudoku
>Was relatively calm, so was offered a room I shared with another guy
>Lost access to my phone, pens/pencils, clothes, shoes. There's were kept under lock and key and could be "earned" back with good behavior
>Felt a lot like a prison without the constant fear of rape by inmates
I was already scared out of my mind of being around other people who were obviously worse off than I was, but they kept me there an extra day because of a long weekend. I can greentext more if you'd like.

>What got you in there?
Psychosis. Schizophrenia or bipolar disorder.
>How many times were you admitted?
Two times.
>What were your experiences like?
Some of the people in the social care system are cruel people who force stuff on you and like to label you. There's some good people there too.

Ah shit. That pic kinda just blindsided me. Havnt listened to that in 13 years. Took me a few seconds, i could hear it perfectly but didnt know why. Neat feeling

Glad you like the pic

Yeah it felt like that for me too anon, it's kind of shitty and doesn't help much imo. Wanting to kill yourself is an awful feeling, have you gotten over it yet?

I have psychosis as well, how bad was it for you? Did you find the patients more helpful than the staff?
>>36593324
Yeah greentext some more anon, let's see what you got

>Did you find the patients more helpful than the staff?
The staff was fine actually, it were several psychiatrists and one psychologist who were unhelpful.
The first psychosis was really bad and embarrassing, the second was ok I guess.
When psychotic I send odd messages to people and I did something else during the first psychosis (such as running around naked).

Got over it a little while ago (Been a few years since I was there). In a way I was motivated by not wanting to go there ever again.

Alright, I got a couple of short ones
>Second night there
>See absolutely cute red-head with freckles during breakfast
>Was hopeless KHV (still am) but somehow convinced myself to talk to her
>She tells me she's borderline
>Didn't know what that meant at the time, but she was a total sweetheart
>Last day I was there, find out she was put in cuffs and taken away from the rest of the group
>Apparently, she assaulted one of the other people there. Black eye, broken nose, looked pretty brutal
>After getting home, look up online what borderline is
>basically, she was a real life Lunch (Launch?) form the original Dragonball and could flip like a light switch at any time
Kind of felt bad for her. She seemed like the most sane one there

Here's another.
>2nd night there, having group dinner
>Pull up chair beside someone who appeared to be completely mute and a black girl who talked, but was about as quiet
>out of nowhere, black girl starts accusing me and mute guy of plotting to kill her
>Thinking to myself "if I can't prove that I'm not, she'll go to the guards with her accusation and I might never leave"
>Start screaming internally
>leave and approach guards to tell my story before black girl can
>Get told she's paranoid and has done this with others before.
>She's been there for years
>Will probably never see the light of day outside the institution
Went back there recently to get my meds and saw her staring at me though the window. Still scares the fuck out of me.
>been smoking lot of pot
>Kind of paranoid
>Living on my own
>Think have to go back to town because some fallatic thought
>Wake the next day feeling like depression has come to an end. I feel very good, im worried about nothing.
>Parents think brain.exe crashed
>Go to some random doctor and send me to hospital
>Next doctor ask whats the problem
>I(catalan) say I'm indepentist and my rights are not respected as some double meaning about bad energies i feel about my parents not enjoying me being away.
>Taking long time to react. Somewhat high
>Given a pill, proly olanzapine and went to sleep.
>Wake on psychiatric.
>Depression kicks in.
I enjoyed the episode, bad it ended I think i couldve lived better with it. The feeling good, the energy...
