Just spent 10 days in the psych ward

[flutebloom]

I got stuck in the psych ward again because I was too honest to the crisis hotline…

Every time I'm in there I get retraumatized and it makes me scared to attempt to ctb again…..they never listen to me and try to force me to take medication. Every time I explain I'm suicidal because of the Invega shot I got at the psych ward the psychiatrist always argues with me and tells me that's not why. Like… I'm the one who's suffering why are you telling me how I feel

I need to make sure that next time I'm successful and don't mess up

What's their reason then

What's their reason then

They probably just shut their eyes and point to a random spot on the DSM-5 then diagnose OP with whatever it lands on.

I've felt this exact way before. People seem to think they know about yourself more than you, and it drives me fucking mental.

It's like you're a problem to be solved, and not someone with genuine wants and needs.

That experience sounds like it fucking sucks, sorry that happened...

Damn ngl I wouldn't even mind staying there longer cus it's nice being around other people who are suffering…. The food was awful though

What's their reason then

They basically just want you back on meds and tell me I'm suicidal because I'm not taking my meds. I live in Texas and the mental health care is abysmal especially in my city

I notice they basically just strip your humanity away from you there. Kind of like they treat you like you are the illness itself not the person experiencing the illness.
