Hospital Hell

[Liwujin]

I was committed to a psych ward and I absolutely hated it. It didn't help me at all and just made me feel more helpless. I tried to go with an open mind and accept the treatment but I quickly realized the only solution they had for me there were pills. How is that a solution? Thankfully my mother got me out somehow, God bless her. Now that I am alive after my ctb date I feel aimless, in limbo.

I had a similar experience a couple of weeks ago when I went to the hospital. I told the psychiatrist there that I wanted to kill myself, and they didn't seem to care. They just gave me some meds and sent me on my way.

Today, I went back and told them that not only did I want to kill myself, but I might also want to hurt other people. They completely freaked out and started saying I should be under 24/7 supervision and that my mom should either put me in a psychiatric hospital or quit her job to watch me around the clock with no privacy.

Those people are terrible. The doctors don't care about you. I have an online psychologist who's been good to me, but other than that, the people I've dealt with in person have been awful.

I'm glad you got out of there. Also, I don't really know your situation, otherwise I would give you some advice.

Oh wow, the amount of negligence from doctors and the healthcare system as a whole never fails to surprise me.
The advice they gave you is terrible, something similar happened with my mom. She has her normal job and when I was in the psych ward the visiting hours coincided with her working hours so she couldn't visit me. I later learned that she explicitly sent my grandmother and they denied her entry. They think people don't have responsibilities and don't have whole lives to deal with it seems. That was extremely frustrating, I went a whole week without seeing my family or hearing from them just because of that situation.
