Idkr what to say. I’m back at the ward. Last time I was here, I posted a comparison of how much cuter and younger I looked and everyone told me I should kill myself.
They made a good point. I fucking hate my miserable existence.
Anyone else got psych ward stories? I’m not gonna be able to say much soon.

I would go to a psychward too, but the whole experience was traumatizing. Also the showers were scorching hot, and I literally couldn't bathe without getting first degree burns

everyone treated me like dirt.

>Anyone else got psych ward stories?
the last time i was at the psych ward a guy with an insane clown posse tattoo called a black guy a nigger during a fight. it didnt endear people to his side

>>40132483
let me guess, was this in the LA area? Yeah, these people are fucking insane.

>>40132442 (OP)
Hey OP, I've never been to one but there's a good chance I will one day. What did you do to end up in the psych ward?

>>40132442 (OP)
why do u have ur phone in the ward

>>40132481
Made sure to bathe beforehand. I really don’t particularly want to be here again. As it stands I’ve got a wristband with a name I legally changed to not be it anymore. Kinda just wish I could’ve killed myself and not have people know.

>>40132442 (OP)
>>40132481

OP..

>>40132536
I hope you can recover soon OP. im kind of in the same boat but I physically cant bring myself to go back.

It wasn't fun for me. most of the doctors were retards and didn't give me my right amount of meds. I was basically being forced to detransition.

They brought in a computer hooked to this IV thing so I could speak to a psychiatrist. He was some brown streetshitter who didn't give a shit and just proscribed me whatever came to his mind first.

I had a room to myself thank God, but most of people there were old black dudes who just watched TV. I sat alone by the vending machines talking to my mom on the phone.

Near the end of my visit they put me in a different wing with all the genuinely mentally disturbed people. it felt like outlast and I had to stay in that white room for HOURS.

The doctors ignored me when I asked for a phonecall/help, and when they finally realized I didn't belong in that area, they let me leave.

it was absolute hell.

i've only ever been to the psych ward twice, the first time i went was back in 2022 when i'm pretty sure i suffered some kind of psychotic break (the doctors just chalked it up as anxiety, i never really bought it though), anyways i met this kid there who was at most 10ish years old, real small and had this squeaky voice, i hate to think about what landed him in a psych ward but he grew attached to me because i'd always laugh at the 2016 humor jokes he made and give advice for the drawings he made, on the last day before he left he gave me a hug and i never saw him again after that

>>40132868
Im sorry :(

>>40132442 (OP)
Well. I got turned away. Ward was full. Frankly I didn’t need to much at all be here. I mean yeah, during therapy I expressed wanted to kill myself, but I always sorta do. Today was just worse than usual.

Whatever I get to keep the grippy socks.

>>40134546
Sorry op :( the grippy socks are pretty sweet

I didn't get grippy socks... either time

>>40132442 (OP)
When I went to the psych ward, everyone used pseudonyms I think. Basically, when I went to get my meds, the nurse asked my name so she could look up in her little book what meds to give me and I gave her my preferred name and she was like, what were you called before you came here and I took that question to mean what's my legal name and so I gave her my legal name and that worked. I didn't like the psych ward too much. I have ARFID, and they accommodated that though and let me order from the kids menu, so I got grilled cheese and hot dogs every day and that was based. Also a bunch of the people I was in there with were getting shock therapy. It was wack.

>>40132594
Depends WILDLY on facility, and location, and community.

>>40134771
I'm betting that facility SUCKED ASSS. There are corners cut like outsourcing your talk therapy to a remote in bangladore, but it's only the worst places that woudln't even spring for grippy socks.

first time i went to the psychward i was in fourth grade and the kid i got roomed w was 13. the difference between 10yo and 13yo is pretty big, he was much bigger and taller than me. he kept waking me up in the middle of the night to tell me in vivid detail about how he tried to kill his sister, what he would do to her when he got back, and then told me that if i told anyone, he would kill me. at the time i was scared shitless about it, like i went bc i tried to kms but the idea of being choked to death in the middle of the night by someone much bigger than me was scary.

another time i went to the psychward, i met this very autistic trans guy femboy who would throw a fit if he couldn't watch Law and Order SVU all day.

the last time i went, i got put in the ward specifically for women w post partum which was cool bc they had babies around sometimes for the moms to interact w. i think the only reason i (mtf tranny) got put there was bc i had been enough times to that hospital that trusted me and they were shuffling ppl around for some reason

also ive been to the psychward 7 times but ive never been in one of the acute wards

anyway don't try to kill yourself bc I ended up in a coma and the ICU works and following that my psychiatrist had a hair trigger when it came to hospitalizing me

>>40132512
Because the store is fake, just attention-seeking hoping for that quick fix of validation from the internet with a sob story.

The same type are the ones that donate to streams with stories like "your streams really helped me get a handle on my dad dying" (streamer was playing COD) then a couple of months later another donation and another sob story.

i went to the psych ward back in february/march, i honestly found it fine. they put me in the woman's ward ig because it's what my documents say. because i tried to kill myself i had to go to the acute ward for a few days and that was a bit shit, it was like an open ward and some of the other patients were kinda scary or hyperactive, it was always loud. nurses could be a bit mean too. then they moved me upstairs to the more chill ward where you're in like these rooms with three or four girls in each of them, way more privacy. being there was actually quite nice, i felt so much more at ease. honestly nobody batted an eyelid at me being there and i looked like shit because seeing as i basically got taken in off the street i had one set of clothes and none of my usual haircare and my moustache was starting to grow back in by the time i left, if anything people were more weirded out by the fact i was foreign (this is in a small central/east euro country, not that many immigrants here) than the fact i was trans or whatever, it never came up. i remember in the second ward we used to share the shower room with the boys ward down the hallway, you were meant to sort of move this wooden panel on the door to make it say men/women depending on who was using it, the first night i went and asked the nurse for a towel and afterwards when i was going in he moved the sign to say women. i actually sorta miss it sometimes, at least the nicer ward, i made one great friend in there and the girls were generally sweet and supportive. i felt temporarily better for a while after i left but then life got kind of shit again. hope it goes okay for you nona.

That shouldnt even be fucking possible in a mental hospital

>>40136005
Mental hospitals with shitty standards in infrastructure are common. Maybe anon's in like fucking Turkey.
