Venting They put me in the psych ward

[collidedsigns]

Like the title says I got put in the psych ward, I'm so pissed off I wanna sh but I don't have anything with me, literally didn't think they'd actually move me here so I'm just done, genuinely I had my whole plan in place and all it took was someone looking at my phone when I was using it for them to end up getting mental health checked.

My room smells of piss, they haven't given me any accessibility aids. I just can't be bothered anymore

I'm using a vpn to but it keeps getting blocked randomly by the wifi so I'm hoping this actually posts.

Anyway if anyone wants to come break me out please do

 

[whywere]

HUGE hugs to you, as I have been in the same situation and you are a wonderful friend and you are never alone, never!

To get out, I kept my head down, mouth shut, never ever gave them any words to use against me (word wise) and got the hell out.

You will make it, you are smart and kind soul, and you are family and we are together in this always, always!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have you in my thoughts and heart,

Walter

If you're desperate to self harm, you could resort to biting your arm. What are they gonna do, confiscate your teeth? Idk how dangerous that is though so take with a grain of salt.

A nice thought but I would have to advise against it, hospitals like these are not your friend. Many times I've seen it in my own country, the doctors are just waiting for an excuse to up your dose, to be able to scream or physically hit you, to put you in the padded room. I would not provoke anything in a psychiatric hospital. They are not your friend most of the time, this is the unfortunate truth.

You could try pass it off as a sexual thing and try to gross them out whenever they ask

I was able to discharge myself after a couple of days when I was in. I remember a form and I was subtly told by a doctor that I should pretend that I'm doing perfectly fine and feeling better. In reality the ward made me feel so so much worse. That place was nasty lol.

Well, hopefully you never have to go to one, it's not fun and you can't word your way out of these kinds of situations, especially by passing it as a sexual thing. Don't know how it's where OP is from but it's not like a normal doctor, whatever you say to them they will forcefully fit into a diagnostic sheet and then force you to undergo that treatment.

A private trauma doctor would be on your side if the point was to heal from the sexual thing and they'd be understanding and try to be helpful.
A more concrete example for psychiatric hospitals: If a patient would declare that they hear voices even as A JOKE, they would be put on anti psychotics instantly most likely and be kept that way for as long as they stay, you need to be humble because they have your ass there, you have no control, it's like being in prison as someone who is innocent and every word that you say is going to be used against you, be as humble as possible, don't mock them, don't give them reasons, don't provoke them, don't lie in a way that is detrimental to your health, don't FAKE things that you don't suffer from because they are going to force you to go through the treatment until they see signs that you are not dealing with the problems anymore, no, going back on your words in 3-4 days in a jovial manner is going to make them even more suspicious. If you are stubborn, if you don't like being controlled (LIKE ME), JUST DON'T end up in these places, you're going to have a really REALLY bad time.

It is really not a game, this is why people hate these places.

I'm British so I've got the NHS and they don't do shit unless you're about to do a mass stabbing in a supermarket so I think I'd be alright in terms of being sent to one.

If I do end up in one though then God help me.

It's for an hour/two hours to talk to loved ones most likely, usually it was after the afternoon sedative and before sleep time. That's how it was when I went.

Been in the ward 7 times, just do what they ask and reevaluated your plans.

100% agree.

Be careful or be in for a long haul in the ward.

Well in my case even if you do say you will kill yourself. They won't hold you for more than 14-15 days without a case. Just say you want to leave and if you don't you want to go to court. They don't care about anyone enough to go to court for them. They'll just set you on your way.

 

[RunDown]

Where you at I'll break you out. I'll bring the walls down by tribuchet. I'll subdue the guards with my broadsword. Let's burn that mother down yesterday. I'll be on horseback with flowing blonde hair. I'll put my hand out from atop my mare. Come ride with me, lets leave it behind. If they wanted us to stay there, they should have been more kind. ——-signed, your knight in shining armor. Mwah.

WOW! Where I live, one time when i was in the ward, I did NOT snap to when they barked and BINGO! they took me to court to try (and they failed!) to get a year commitment against me, to put me in a state-run mental health facility.

I LEARNED after that episode to stay away, stay out of sight and get out or take the chance of getting a VERY long stay.

Oh wow. I shouted I was going to ctb the day I was released knowing my environment was going to trigger me. And within hours I was in the hospital again because I attended to ctb in front of my ex.

Hey lovely people,

Im so sorry I haven't been able to write on here for a few days. I've spent all day trying to get my vpn to work and finally I've got it running on this crap wifi

A few questions I'll answer, I'm in the UK and in the unit I'm on your allowed your phone, your just not allowed chargers or anything like that. A lot of patients here have kids and stuff so having your phone means they can still speak to them.
I've been keeping my head down but ngl my anxiety is through the roof, it's crippling the worst it's been in ages.
I'm on a mixed ward so male and female and I've been shouted at by other patients but the men always keep an eye on me incase anyone goes for me (I'm physically disabled)

It's so nice to be back here again. I literally cried earlier because I couldn't get my VPN on. This site allows me to get my vents out.

One thing I will say is I can discharge myself but with how I am right now I think I'll get sectioned if I self discharge, so I am just staying low in the hopes I get out quicker. This is my 4th admission so it isn't my first rodeo but the doctor wants to change my antidepressants, has increased my antipsychotics, and increased my mood stabilisers. I really don't know how to feel right now. Everything is triggering my c-ptsd and I have constant thoughts of suicide right now. I'm just frustrated and tired.

On the plus side I have my own toilet and shower which is a nice change from some of my last admissions.

Fingers crossed I'm out soon
