For clarity, I'm from Poland, and the mental health awareness is pretty... shitty. I admitted myself into a psych ward cause of suicidal thoughts that ive had for over a month, and meds weren't helping me. To start- I was sleeping in the hallway. For 3 nights. I couldnt sleep because the lights were always on at some end of the hallway and the nurses were loud after nighttime. The food obv was awfull so i lived off of instant noodles my mom brought me, and some stuff we shared with a few other people, the people were nice, but thats the only positive thing i have to say unfortunately! I was there for a week, and out of the 6 times i asked for a talk with a psychologist, i was ignored half the time. I couldn't have any electronics there so i was stuck without my coping mechanisms available and constantly triggered cause of seeing other peoples self harm scars. They also got my medical information wrong and prescribed me the wrong meds cause of which i cant sleep sigh.... i was somewhat truthful with my psychologist at first but after two days i realised that this wont work, and started lying to get out asap, managed to get out after a week, still suicidal, still self harming, just now i have to be more cautious so my family members wont notice. If i ever went back, it would be for the people cause they were really nice and i felt the support from them! The system just sucks..! How do they expect me to be honest about my thoughts if im gonna be tied up for saying that i want to self harm? or theyll take away my stuff? i cant understand the people that were honest about everything with staff... I could never, that would just keep me there longer...
I'd love to hear any stories you guys might have from psych ward experiences, were they bad? were you taken seriously there?
