Being in psych ward

[antilife]

I'm in a psych ward, it's the second day. I know that the only thing that could possibly help is medication. The rest of the groups and activities are complete bullshit. It's ways to spend your time. I hate it all. Even though this psych ward is not too bad compared to others in Germany, and generally I guess german psych wards might be better than in some other countries, I still consider it as complete bullshit. I mean at least they have some ideas on how to improve your health but I dont think this works with severe chronic depression. I don't think anything works. I'm only here because of meds, like I said in a different post, I just want to feel slightly better but my best option is still ctb.

Psych wards in uk are abysmal. The staff were arrogant and unhelpful.
They gave me a colouring book and some crayons to help me with my mental illness to distract myself. WTF !

Why are you so sure that medication is the only answer and that the groups are all bullshit?

Because I know that talking about anythi g won't change my state of mind but meds will. They already did once. For some people it might work but not for me

LOL same, why do people think that coloring is going to solve my real, important problems? If I were to distract myself and be avoidant every time I had a stressor, I would literally be a homeless dropout right now.

There are multiple types of therapy, psychoanalysis is only one of them. Have you tried different types like cbt?
