[WornOutLife]

I haven't watched it but every single experience about psych wards I've read makes me panic.
I was really lucky not to end up in one. Close call.

Psych wards are probably the most boring places on the planet.

I've been sectioned and it's very unpleasant almost you feel you've been stripped of your humanity. Not seen this yet thanks loopylou ;)

I think boredom would kill me off alone. Did notice there is a specialist BPD centre in the U.K. I never knew about. Can't imagine I would get funded to go , don't think I'm classed as mental enough

No worries. Like learning about mental health

Absolutely horrid. Would anyone truly want to live like this, in and out of these places while constantly suffering from one's state of mind? And I don't mean to shit all over these people but I'm not sure how truthful that ending is with all of them living out their lives in passion and bliss. 100% recovery rate, guess the NHS ain't that bad after all.

 

[LiesAndLigatures]

Had to stop less than 90 seconds in. Brought up too many memories from my traumatic psych ward experiences. Mental health professionals destroyed my life, and that is the reason I still want to die 7 years later. Trauma haunts me.

In it there is this man and two people in the team said it's the most flat, depressed person they have ever met, yet didn't section him and sent him home.

Psych ward's,Sod that for a game of chicken, l'll just keep having philosophical discussions with my invisible mouse friends!

I'm actually being assessed for a personality disorder service near me which is apparently a centre you have to go to 3 full days a week for a year. I really want to get on it as nothing else has worked and I want to meet other people with bpd in real life to feel more normal. My assessment is on April 19th I literally feel like I'm waiting for a job interview.

Never seen it but I was in a psych ward in 2010 age 20. I definitely hated being there but in retrospect it wasn't horrendous - I was sectioned and put in a medium risk ward. I just smoked a lot and read through the Harry Potter books to pass the time. Never ate any food there due to having a eating disorder at the time so my sister would visit and bring me food everyday. The worst part was the showers. I'm very particular about cleanliness and sharing living spaces, and the other patients would always bang on the door if you were in there longer than 3 minutes.

I Was diagnosed with BPD about 7 years ago now. I have only ever been given Quetiapine as a mood stabiliser. I did as to change it about a year ago and so my doctor tapered me off them to zero mg but mental health wouldn't agree to change it just because it was making me fat. I still take 300mg a night plus anti depressants and beta blockers. Tried two types of therapy but not CTB , but when you get to the point of not wanting to get better / try get better because of being suicidal kind of in limbo but I put myself there's I can't really complain

Yeah, sounds more like a miracle than treatment, which is why I doubt most of them actually did get better long-term. The positive outlook at the end seems catered towards the viewer's comfort, enforcing the ideas that help is available, it's just a temporary problem, they didn't really want to do this, nor did they in fact know what they were doing. Maybe that's true for some, but for a lot of people that's not the case at all and they're having their rights violated constantly.

sevtionimy is horrible. treated inhimanely most of the time

i really hope this goes well for you. i've been through a PD specialist service with a theraputic community, made a difference to understanding and managing my bpd.
