I'm thinking about admitting myself. I was wondering what would happen if I couldn't control myself and self-harmed in the ward. What would they do?
Thanks. I'm mostly wondering if they'd actually do those stereotypical dumb procedures (drugs, restraints, physical force) if I was seen hurting myself.So I’ve been to the ward like 2 times and basically if you did that they had this thing called “TV” (Therapeutic Vacation) which basically meant they didn’t let you do fun stuff like gym or activities to “focus on therapy” it was kinda stupid though because that’s basically like grounding someone for being upset. Like they did that to me when I had a mental breakdown (didn’t SH, just cried to my parents about how I wish I had died) and it kinda sucked.
most of the time, no, but I did once witness this girl who tried to escape, and she started screaming in the hallway, and I heard from someone that she got sedated but I’m not sure if that really happened because the last time I saw her she was being taken to this room where she could do what she needed without disturbing the other patients.Thanks.

It is very dependent on the situation :)most of the time, no, but I did once witness this girl who tried to escape, and she started screaming in the hallway, and I heard from someone that she got sedated but I’m not sure if that really happened because the last time I saw her she was being taken to this room where she could do what she needed without disturbing the other patients.
