Welp I went to seek help to get a psychologist but I was placed in the emergency psych ward instead. Because I'm a danger to myself. I start anti depressants tomorrow.

Has anyone been to one? Cuz they just put me in a room and I'm bored af lol They allowed cellphones because of Covid.

Yeah I've been to 2 in my time. The ones in my life, they couldn't find out what was wrong with me. Basically it's like i wasn't meant to be in there. Really dunno who put me up to it but they're cocks for doing so. Hopefully your psych ward isn't too rampant or whatever. At least you have some way of communication (phone), it'd help.

Yes, I have been in them twice. 1ST time I was on suicide watch and had someone shadow me 100% of the time. 2nd time was also about the same. Yes it is VERY boring, but for me, I am a motor mouth, I can talk to anyone, I made friends with some of the other patients and was VERY fortunate, both times, to get a nurse that was very kind. The worst aspect for me was the arts and crafts time that one HAD to attend. I hated it. As far as meds, yes, I was put on alot. The food was not bad and I made friends , so the time melted away and got out. The 1st time I was in for 2 weeks and 2nd time 1 week. I care for you alot and hope you get better. Love and peace from the global family here!

Hi! A quick reply as far as social anxiety goes. I log onto sanctioned suicide a couple of times a day and if you need someone, while you are in your room to talk to then by all means give me a shout out. If I am not online at the moment when I do come on., I will/would love to help you and keep you company. WE are ALL the same on this rotating rock called earth and I feel and love everyone and I also feel peoples pain. So please if needed give me a shout out! You are the best and you are loved global family member!

I've spent a total of 4 months in psych wards in the last 2 years and it was never horrible or anything. Absolutely not fun, but I felt safe and like I was where I needed to be. I always went voluntarily, though, but I did get put on suicide watch some of the time.

Honestly, since you are already stuck there, try to enjoy the time off from the world. You'll be living in a bubble and all you need to care and think about is yourself. Food will be served and your basic needs tended to. If you're on 24/7 watch, enjoy making the staff uncomfortable when you go to the loo :pfff::ahhha: Seriously, though, that was the worst part for me. I'm lucky they didn't enter with me, just kept the door ajar and waited outside.

I barely ever talked to the other patients because I have a tendency to take on other people's problems. Try finding a nice nurse and talk a bit, though, it can help. You've got nothing to lose, so might as well open up a bit about why you want to die.

I hope your stay won't be too long. Hugs to you and feel free to PM me if you want to chat :hug:

Edit: Oh, and don't let them catch you being on SS!

I swear my room is the furthest from the washroom so it is 100% going to be awkward. I got lucky room number 1 lol My nurse seems nice but this is my first day and I talked to her less than 10min so

Will do!! SS has been my safe place for sometime and I want it to stay that way for others and me :P

Mine was horrific. My hair fell out from the stress of it and they didn't even let me wear a hat to cover it up.

I'm so sorry this happened to you. They released me today and mine was horrid as well. I had anxiety attacks because I felt alone and most staffs just brushed me off when I asked questions...

I was once taken to a military psych ward after my failed attempt. I protested to my mother to be taken quickly and after one week stay she convinced them to let me leave.

Edit: I know this is a recovery section but I'm not in recovery (I'm waiting to ctb).
