Prison for suicide.

[NOT]

You may have thought that people don't go to prison for attempt of suicide, but this only partialy true. People are locked up in psychiatric prison regularly for every failed attempt of suicide. So next time you plan your exit from this world look at the methods reliability , and dont call the ambulance, otherwise you are facing inprisonment with a bunch of people who are really in need of help.

totally agree, and the bunch of people who are really in need of help are those psychiatric doctors and nurses, they need a dose of their own medicine

Oh yesssss! They, along with pharmaceutical companies are the biggest money hungry evil in this world. Keep em sick, keep em paying.

Yup its an evil world alright

Absolutely agreed and true statement. I too, am jaded by the whole establishment, especially because it is a pseudo-science (not a real science) and there is no definite proof that things work despite the contrary claim that psychiatry has helped lot of people. Sure, it may have 'helped' many people, but are those people really helped or is it a placebo? (rhetorical question btw)

Anyways, this video summarizes it up really well. It is long but he comes off with lots of good points.

psych wards are fucking hell

 

[RodgerThat]

It seems like a visit to the psych ward is a bit of a flip of a coin, and it's not one that I'd want to flip...

 

[Empty Smile]

psych wards are fucking hell

I have absolutely no reason to disagree with this statement!

Based on my own experiences, I completely agree... being in a psychiatric unit feels like being in a fucking prison. I've been taken to the psych ward quite a few different times as an adult. Each time, I had to hand over all of my possessions, was searched/patted down, I couldn't go to the bathroom without a nurse or a guard waiting outside the door / wasn't allowed to close the bathroom door at all, couldn't leave the hospital unless someone escorted me home (I lived a minimum of four hours away from all family members, had no friends and was in a toxic relationship, so I was completely shit out of luck), was not allowed to refuse any medication, and overall was just condescended to and treated like a literal baby by the staff members.

All of those times, I was either admitted because I actually attempted suicide, or because I had the brilliant idea to call one of those "Crisis Lines" because I was lonely and just needed someone to talk to, and subsequently had the police show up at my door and take me to the psych ward, all while giving me the same old classic, bullshit platitudes the entire way there.

As much as I don't want to be bitter, what I'm trying to say is... yeah, I completely agree. Suicidal people in general are treated like absolute human garbage, by a system that claims that they "just want to help", regardless of whether or not the suicidal person actually WANTS that "help" in the first place. If anything, it pushed me further and further away from wanting to seek any further help.

Sorry this happened to you. This is why it's best to avoid suicide hotlines.

That is a really harrowing experience given what you just described. Sadly there are even people out there who downplay, deny, or even refuse to accept that these practices are harmful. If I could legally hurt them, I would, but I don't want to risk my freedom or get into trouble with the law. Nothing pisses me off more than just sheer ignorance, there is no excuse.

Sorry this happened to you. This is why it's best to avoid suicide hotlines.

Absolutely and what doesn't help is the people who claim that it 'helped' them. I guess those people either don't care about the crippling medical bills, shitty treatment, disruption to their professional and social life, on top of coming out 'worse' than before. Yeah these people always think that 'life is a virtue' and that 'life is ALWAYS a net positive'. Absolutely disgusting, and if anything, I would NEVER recommend the damn anti-freedom number. Fuck the system and the suicide prevention hotlines.

The bullshit of psychiatry in my country
I could go on and on.
The condescending twats that are doctors, treating me like Im some stupid toddler, minimising my suffering, spouting the suicide is the cowards way out lines, the nurses who dont actually do anything but sit in their station all day and sip coffee. Extent of things taken away from me and privacy in showers, it depends, some places I was able to draw cause I get better when creating art, some places I wasnt even allowed a pencil in case I stab myself and couldnt go out of my room.
But its not the treatment of patients and the permanent exposure to some schizophrenic sickos who really need the help that bothers me the most. its the drugs.
Not to mention they are like placebo, I could take 3 times the normal dose and still not feel anything, haloperidol and other antipsychotics intended to 'cure' my psychosis were the worst thing that happened to me ever. I wouldnt be suprised if they used this medication as a form of torture for dissidents. It made my eyes roll upwards uncomfortably, I felt extreme restlessness and could only sit down for a minute or two before I got up and resumed pacing the 4 steps from my bed and back to it, whole day every day. I had crippling intrusive thoughts, I repeated stupid things in my head like 'The wall is green, the wall is green, the wall is green' etc. I was really anxious and didnt know why. And finally, my muscles started constracting against my will and I writhed on my bed, doing a bridge exercise position with my back arched outside and to the left. The contractions caused me to be unable to walk normally and were so violent my muscles hurt and their tissue broke down. By day 3, even my jaw was involved and I couldnt close it and kept dry heaving and drooling all over the place. I showed up at the nurses station every 5 minutes asking them to give me something for the pain. At first they gave me a few pills and when they didnt help they said I was faking it. After a few days I broke down, sat on the floor in the hall and screamed that if they make me take haloperidol one more time Ill fucking hang myself on a charger cable. I was crying hysterically even though the contractions distorted my voice. They injected me with anti parkinsons medication and klonopin and tied me down and I went to sleep. When I woke up I was still writhing, with my mom grabbing me by the collar while I stood in an angled position and demanded they stop the drug. They discontinued it the next day but anxiety, intrusive thoughts and fast heartrate persisted for weeks after stopping it
PSYCHIATRY IS TORTURE

 

[NOT]

Yes, this is extra-piramydal syndrome. I am also allergic to haloperidol. I was going to toilet every minute literally, felt like being possessed, eventually my neck started twisting into one side, I couldnt breathe. They say eventually your eyes roll upwards. I thought I was gonna die finally.

 

[Santiago]

I would never even let myself get in that situation.

And let's say I did somehow I would raise hell until the point I got out (whether that would be death or actually getting out)

I guess it depends on what the wards are like in your country. Here they would have no idea how to deal with that.
