That, and I've never known a psych unit to allow phones.

 

[muu]

it is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to end your life in a psychiatric hospital. if you attempt hanging in your room, they have 15-30 minute checks on patients, so you will be found and resuscitated as they are trained to provide medical assistance, and then you'll either be kept longer or you'll have brain damage. plus, all of the equipment in there is manufactured to be as safe as possible, so it's extremely hard to make a noose out of anything in there.

just generally a bad idea, i apologize.

It's really hard to CTB outside of a psych ward

UK wards generally allow it

Assuming you mean inside. But yes, nearly impossible to do in a psych ward. Just play along until you are discharged, which shouldn't be long if you dont try to self harm.

I mean outside

Interesting. I know ones in the U.S won't due to HIPPA, and plenty of other reasons.

From what I hear it's to prevent people taking photos of other patients or something. Whatever, just another reason the US is hell.

I mean outside

Uh, ok. It's a lot easier to CTB outside a psych ward than it is inside.

Thank you and yes I'm from the UK

That was another reason, too. People are in psych units for plenty of different reasons, not just strictly relating to suicide.

I wouldn't want someone unstable that I don't know to be able to take pictures of me there. Which is why I was really surprised you said U.K wards generally allow it.

The more you know, I guess.

Everyone liking this comments I get it but I'm fucking sick of being alive.

How do they allow internet access in a psych ward?

 

[genevabutterfly]

I'm in the Uk, they allow phones. They even free wifi . Not everywhere is like the us
I'm not a liar. I'm desperate yes.

 

[Forveleth]

Do not try it. You will most likely get caught and your stay will get extended. Play nice, cooperate, get out.

 

[genevabutterfly]

Okay thanks

I didn't call you a liar, but yes, in the US, they don't allow phones. My question to you, is why try in an environment you will get caught?

Well over here if someone was taking photos of you, you would report it and it would be dealt with on a case by case basis like most other misbehaviour, instead of punishing everyone for the actions of a few creeps. lol. Psych wards are already boring enough, not being allowed personal tech would be even more fucked.

From what I hear it's to prevent people taking photos of other patients or something. Whatever, just another reason the US is hell.

HIPAA laws, which is a healthcare law, was created to protect patient confidentiality and medical records, keeping it strictly between doctor and client. This protects them against stalkers, law enforcement, and other reasons for the sake of privacy.

In the US, having a phone in a psych ward would violate all these privacy laws. I don't think it's a horrendous thing to have protections like this, as for example, HIPAA laws protect women in hospital settings from domestic abusers.

Lots of UK psychiatric hospitals allow them

I really understand finding it so torturous to suffer in this existence, I hope you find the freedom you are searching for.
