Venting Being put in a psych ward right before the date of my attempt

[tapewormsinthestool]

I'm being shoved into a psych ward tomorrow whether I like it or not. literal days before I was going to kill myself. life just loves to kick my ass.

I'm sorry to hear, that must be awful ; (

Too bad the people shoving you in there don't realize wards a lot of the time cause way more harm than good.

Yeh well they dont care enough to fix it. Their idea of help is locking someone from freedom till they abide by whatever fucked up shit they make up.

Why tomorrow? Instead of immediately is what I'm wondering

Why? Did someone find out?

I'm so sorry for you. It's one of my biggest fears, not being able to ctb because of other people's decision.
Good luck to you. I hope they will let you out quickly

Make sure to bring books, comfortable clothes, puzzles, and sign the voluntary papers. As long as you dont say anything and dont do anything to make them change medication you will be discharged. Good luck. Its boring

I have been in a few times (psych ward) and I 2nd what @jatty said so eloquently, keep one's mouth shut and answer as few questions as possible.

Case in point, one time when i was in, I said something stupid like "just wait till I get out, goodbye!" , well 1) my stay was extended 2) almost everyone in the ward could leave and go to Sunday Services on a different floor, BUT me, oh no, we do NOT trust you after what you have been saying.

Lots of books, puzzles and the like, keep your head down, and say nothing.

I've never been to a psych ward before, but I know people who have, and I'm sorry to hear that you got admitted to one, it must be scary in there :(

could be under watch? Last time I was admitted I was admitted like a day after I was in the hospital.
