Heya guys,

I wanted to talk about my past. After I tried to ctb the first time I failed miserably. A year after I was forced to go to rehab. At first I tried to positive about it, but I was supposed to go there on the 15th of Septermber, for information, my birthday is on the 17th of Septermber. That meant I would have been there on my birthday.
We got there after a 3 hour drive and all of a sudden I felt unsafe, but I brushed it off. We specifically asked for a room I could be alone in, not a room with another person in advance and they said they would see what they could do. As we got there I have been told that I had to share a room with another person which was a no go for me, and still is. I started tearing up but I didnt wanna disappoint my mother, so we started unpacking my stuff. My dad had to wait outside because of the covid restrictions back then. Then a lovley lady came in and was asking me some questions, I just couldnt answer. The whole place felt wrong and I felt heavy the moment I stepped into that building. We were going down the stairs and I broke down since my breathing was off. So now I was there, on my knees, my mom told me to come so I got up, went outside and told them I didnt wanna stay. As soon as I saw my dad I hugged him as tightly and didnt let go of him. I was scared they would leave me there and just go. I argued with 3 social educators, my parents and a therapist to let me go back home. I was scratching my arm the whole time to stimulate myself. They told me I had to enter another building for the doctor to write the discharge letter so they could actually let me go. I said no, I wouldnt go there even tho my mom told me she would join. At some point they found another way to sort it out. I was so scared and felt so alone. If I think about it I feel sorry for causing problems.
I was so scared of my parents getting mad at me for that. The 3 hour drive back felt awful and I was constantly holding back tears. Not a single word has been said on that car drive. We got home very late and I felt like a mess, thought about attempting again but I couldnt even bring myself to get up and do something. I was constantly crying.
Has anyone had a similar experience to share?


Ive been in a psych ward before and it was so bad, thats probably why I was so scared.

That sounds like an awful experience. Well done for getting as far as you did. Hopefully there will be more promising opportunities in the future to deal with your demons.

I've had some terrible experiences in psych wards so I get it!! It was so stressful. Even when I'd been given leave, I dreaded having to come back to the ward after each excursion. Not a feeling I'll ever forget
