• Hey Guest,

    As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. The UK and OFCOM has singled out this community and have been focusing its censorship efforts here. It takes a good amount of resources to maintain the infrastructure for our community and to resist this censorship. We would appreciate any and all donations.

What age were you? Adolescent ward was far stricter than adult ward, but the adult ward was more neglectful and abusive.

Adult ward, which was certainly abusive.
It was strict but uncaring, and when you don't care, loads of stuff is done wrong.
And the classic oversubscribed and understaffed.

Understaffed massively yep. If you ever want to talk about it feel free to drop me a pm. I had 11 weeks in adolescent ward which is a good frame of reference, then just last year I spent a week in an adult ward. I was not under section and was free to leave during the day but they never made this clear to me so I was under the impression I was locked up there. I wrote a pretty long write up about it you can find on my profile. I'm sorry you went through that.

I'm not sure if my experience was particularly worse or better than the usual.. but it was definitely an experience and a half. Most bizarre thing in my life has been psych wards.

Weedoge, I just read your account if the psych ward. I certainly understand and relate to a lot of your experiences in there.
It's unbelievable that things like sleep and basic care is ignored! The beds at my place were SO hard. Appalling blankets. One very thin pillow allowed. Curtains thin. Loud noises throughout the night! We were shouted at at wake up in morning. This is supposed to make us better? It's so sad. Activities were a joke as well, never done and weekend nothing happened. I find exercise helps me a lot. Could I do it? No. We didn't even have outdoor access! While we should be allowed out because voluntary, the truth was they would never let you out, just threaten you with sectioning if you asked. :(
