Help Bored in psych ward

[3FailedAttemptss]

Hey, so yours truly is once again locked up in the psych ward >w<. Turns out I suck at lying. Anyway, I was wondering, like I'm just bored. I'm just in my room and I don't know what to do. Like, should I go to the common area? Or I don't know, like I've just been watching YouTube.

One thing that's been on my mind a lot is I really, really, really want to try to compress my carotid artery to try to pass out just to see what happens. I don't know. What do you guys think about that?

Maybe it's weird for me to post this because I've been to the psych ward a fucking lot. I can't even count how many times, but I'm just bored right now.

It´s probably not the best idea to practice compressing your carotid artery while in a psych ward

Strangely sometimes I miss certain aspects of the psych ward

How do you have internet access? Every time I went there was a really strict no electronics policy, strip searches, etc

I have tried it at home, but I can't seem to get it to work. But honestly, I don't think the psych ward is a good place to try that.

Dang where are you getting internet access in the psych ward?! And I feel like doing what you're doing will most likely just result in you having to stay there longer >.<

That's weird. I'm in the closed, most high-security part of the psych ward, but it's really chill here like it's actually super nice. Maybe it's just different countries? because actually every single time I've been to a psych ward, I've been allowed to have my phone except for in Japan. There I had to sign like a contract to be allowed to use my phone where I like I promise not to take videos and stuff.

I just tried it a few times, what the fuck it doesn't work- I thought I was gonna pass out like instantly if I fucking held it, but I guess I can't find it?? ｡ﾟ(ﾟ´Д｀ﾟ)ﾟ｡

You've been to a japanese psych ward? That sounds kinda interesting for some reason :0 Somebody needs to document what psych wards are like all over the world hmmmmmm

Yeah, I only managed like one and a half months of being in Japan before I was rushed to the ER in an ambulance, and then a couple of days later, I was admitted to the closed part of the psych ward.

Honestly, it was super nice and the staff were really friendly. The food is what I remember the most— It was just a really delicious there, but that was probably the psych ward I've been to where like the people were the most crazy. There were some really, really crazy fucking people there..

Most of my wards have confiscated everything.

Sometimes I'm also unlucky enough to land in one that is stuck in a world of a few decades ago where there is no entertainment whatsoever.

Most cases, I just sleep. But if the ward is the type to confiscate beds (which has happened before) then I just let my mind do the fizzle out of existence thing until I'm snapped out of it.

0/10 don't recommend rehearsing. I hate 1-on-1 monitoring.

Honestly, having a technology-independent hobby is a godsend.

Oh wow! I feel blessed to be in the ward I'm in rn then. It's only two years old, and we even have smart TVs in our room (with plexiglass over it so we can't go crazy style— but still!). Just an hour ago, I was in this creative workshop thing with some other patients, and I made keychains— though I didn't really want to go, but my contact person sorta made me do it.

There's also a massage chair, huge common areas, and a courtyard, plus like a whole sense/stim room. This is probably the nicest ward I've been to. The others I've been to have all seemed quite tired and old.

But yeah I'm just bored in my room, tried sleeping but couldn't. Then I tried compressing my carotid artery for like 40min but also couldn't.

That's one hell of a magical ward. Holy.

My last one had common room TVs, some books, and a few board games and that was it.

Probably the most technological thing we got around us besides the TV were the tracking beacons we got to wear everywhere.
