Forcibly detained at the psych ward

[justagreenleaf]

For "my safety", they're sending me back to the place where they laughed at my psychosis, humiliated me, over medicated me to the point where the akathisia made my life living hell, where I was assaulted, forcibly restrained, forcibly injected with medication inside my thigh as they held me down on the bed.

This is what has killed me in the end. I just want the world to know that the medical system KILLED me

That sounds so horrifying. It really is so cruel to torture people like that. I'm sorry that you are in this awful situation.

really sorry to hear this, try and stay safe and just keep telling yourself that you will be released soon and keep yourself distracted

 

[mojabaka]

I'm so sorry that happened to you. The medical system is what killed me too, even though it's not as traimatic as your case. It's absolutely sick what these so called "people" can do to other people. They take an oath to save lives and to do no harm, but 99% of them only care about the money and don't follow that oath.

Oh man. I hear you 100%. I have so much trauma from my umpteen admissions over 30 years. For your 'safety', it's a cruel irony indeed. Because of that shitty place I was effectively raped back in 1995 because a psychotic person can't be said to consent and the hospital utterly failed in their duty of care by allowing a sexual predator to wander from ward to ward in search of a victim. That incident had incalculable knock on effects for me and my family. It is a huge part of why I became chronically suicidal 10 years ago. It is such a horrible taboo I can't even say what happened. I'm just saying the irony of 'place of safety' is most definitely not lost on me.

After the last time I will do anything to avoid hospital. Thankfully I don't tend to act out with my mania as much these days as in the past. I would not dream of going on a midnight jaunt around the town for instance. I settle for making an ass of myself on Facebook, chatting with undesirables online and draining my bank account. Never been any danger to others and it used to strike me how unfair and paternalistic it was to be locked up because I was the potential victim of a predator.

Resulting in being preyed upon while in their wonderful 'place of safety'. More times than I can count!

I really feel for your situation. Feel free to pm if you need to talk to someone who understands. I didn't mean to make it about me, it's just that I think I have complex ptsd from that shit. I hope you can find some safe space in there and maybe a staff member or patient who is ok to talk to. Hugs

Yep, I cannot stand the medical system. They locked me up and gave me akathisia too. What a bunch of inconsiderate douches they are.

 

[justagreenleaf]

I'm sitting here listening to people playing their loud music and fighting each other, drinking water out of a styrofoam cup and zero privacy. I'm in hell

 

[freedompass]

Zero privacy, so are you in a dorm?

your missing out on all the health benfits, It improves heart health. ,It helps you get to know your own body better. It can improve your skin. It can increase your lifespan. It can help you fall asleep. It boosts your mood. It boosts immunity. It helps you last longer during sex.It makes you harder. It can help lower your prostate cancer risk.

 

[justagreenleaf]

It can increase your lifespan.

I used to find the psych ward a total anaphrodisiac…could never feel sexual there. Sorry if that's tmi haha. It's such an alien environment isn't it? Like it was literally designed by fucking aliens lol.

Ah a shared room, that's not fun. When I shared a room the other girl had to have the light on all night didn't she. She couldn't sleep in the dark.

No one but no one should have to share a room in those places. My local hellhole has been completely rebuilt with all single rooms so it's good they recognise that privacy is essential for recovering patients. I don't need to go back there to know that even with all the shiny new stuff it will remain a fucking hellhole.

I'm gonna stop you right there LMAO
