Have you ever been sectioned?

[OzymandiAsh]

Just out of curiosity, I want to know how many of you have been sectioned / involuntarily hospitalised for mental health / grippy sock jail.

I've just been sectioned for the first time ever thanks to my snitching family.

Yes, on my fourth time. Have been here in this ward involuntarily for over 2 weeks now.

I hate how we don't even have the freedom to choose death once thought over rationally. I just want peace. Hope to get out of here soon and try ctb again successfully.

Wishing you the best, the first time in hospital is always a bit strange and stressful. They'll release you sooner than you think, sending hugs.

I had a voluntary stay in a crisis stabilization unit immediately following an attempt via firearm. Spent a week there.

I thought I was the "sane" guy when I first arrived. But then the first night came and, every time I'd start to drift off, I would scream myself awake. And every night after, I would scream at least once in my sleep. So that was sobering.

Keep to yourself, find something to pass the time with. Hopefully they provide decent food.

Nah but I have been forced to stay. Getting out of the hospital is so difficult after you chose to go there (or sometimes too easy). Trying to get out when you're forced to go there makes it even harder. Most of the hospitals are horrible too. The techs only have highschool diplomas and it shows. They treat you like shit or like you're crazy. Boring as hell too there's like nothing to do there. Word of advice: never go to the behavior hospital in philly. The people there are toxic af
