Story Just got out of the psych unit

[Samuel]

This was my 6th time in my life I've been to these things. I kissed a lot of ass, went to all the group activities and they let me out early. I feel as suicidal as ever right now. My big mouth is what landed me there, I told the doctor I was suicidal and had a plan. They have me on a court order. So I have to take the meds and seek therapy. Careful what you say to people.

Was that the first time being in the psych unit for telling someone you were suicidal and had a plan ?

Unfortunately I agree, every time I've shared how I really feel, it's lead me down roads I don't want to travel. Therapy only works for those who wish to use the tools they are presented with. If you're already decided, it's nothing but struggle.

Really sorry OP, how long were you in for if its okay to ask? Do you plan to act again soon?

6th time? Jesus, youre obviously looking for attention/cry for help and not recieving it. What shithole country do you live in?

I'm sorry you had to go to the psych hospital again. I've been 6 times, too, but for psychosis. I've told my psychiatrist and therapist I am suicidally depressed, but I think the important thing is to say you don't have a plan. I say I am too scared to do anything about it. Of course, the norms regarding this may differ in different countries/places.

i dislike how they put people with depression and psychosis together (no offense against people with psychosis)

Holy fucking agreement. My last stay was basically a week of being scared of one guy who was German and psychotic and thought hospital was some sick English conspiracy to imprison him from what I gathered.. And he thought I was the ringleader.. I'd tell more but rather not derail OPs thread.

Just because someone has a crisis doesn't mean he is going to be dangerous. It probably sucks for him as much as it sucks for you. After 3 months without meds I have been in that mental state too, people can't help having mental illnesses like schizophrenia.

Yeah if you say you have a plan they will lock you up 100%. Saying you're suicidal not so much the case most of the time.

Trust me, I'm not judging the guy. At the start I tried talking to him, telling him I was sick too and we were all there to get help. He wouldn't have any of it. My big issue came when the nurses did not care about the issue and preferred to segregate me in my room because he was scaring me so much.

I really don't mean to say it like I was judging people with psychotic symptoms, I've had an episode myself too so I get it really and he must have been terrified. But it made it impossible for me to recover or even consider it. The staff there were so so awful and that was the problem.

If you wanna talk about it sometime I'm up for it. Actually wrote up a long thing about my full experience. The staff were basically neglectful and abusive. They probably thought I was more delirious than I really was because they were lying straight to my face about noise they were making in the night. Made me sick with anger tbh and the whole time I was in there I forgot about NY real problems, it was like being in a psychological horror movie lol. Never felt so paranoid and scared.
