Discussion did the psych ward help you?

[beyond.space]

so, i have been on this recovery road for over a year after my attempt, but it seems no matter how many meds combos i try, how many changes i try to make in my life, how many hours of therapy, i always return to being deeply miserable and wanting to die. my psychiatrist recommended that i check myself into the psych ward for like a couple of weeks, so that they can find me some meds that "actually" work and monitor me and everything.
so, in your experience, did this actually help? or am i just going to end up having to go to the mental hospital numerous times and nothing really changes on the long run?

no, they treated me like a subhuman
I am brain-damaged from psych meds
and they made me fat

Maybe try IOP first? The psych ward was really just like jail to me... in IOP you can go home at the end of the day as long as you don't say you have an active suicide plan
