Week stuck in a psych ward.

As long as you don't look like youre gonna kill yourself immediatly when being let go, theyre only allowed to keep you a maximum of one week, so i just faked being the goodest most cooperating boy for a week lol.

They didn't even let me have a single plushie with me there 0/10 would not recommend.

if it happens again i'll sneak you one in.. or break you out if they wont let you..

You're so jammy. I've been hospitalised since July.

I'm stuck deciding whether I want to be held longer in psych wards or not. I had a serious attempt, was held in ER then transported to the psych ward the same night. Got let out the next day, because I was so cooperative. Went home, broke down and it made me spiral worse. They never hold me for long, and maybe that's something to be envious over or whatever but damn, it feels like I'm not being taken seriously enough or like my attempts aren't "worth" the time. You'd think being diagnosed with both BPD and bipolar I'd be given more attention.

Was also informed I'd be contacted by outpatient services within a few days of my discharge.. it's been weeks.. radio silence. Losing hope again, feels like even the healthcare system has shown me I'm not worth the help

Thanks for sharing, sorry you had to go through that and lol at your reactions to your stay bc I would have said the exact same thing lol Hope you feel good now

Hopefully you do not get sent back to one OP it is very boring and although can be a fun experience in retrospect it is absolutely boring.
Weird they could send you to one without you attempting or saying you had a plan to die very soon.
