yeah lol :3
was there for a week but it wasnt bad at all and i got moved to the best ward in the hospital after a few days bc they closed down the ward i was originally in for maintenance
had my own shower in my room and a huge window but nurses were nice and i wasnt *actually* around crazy ppl everyone in my ward was either a low risk or getting ready to be discharged
i did think it was kinda scary when some nurses took pictures of all my scars and self inflicted injuries but other than that no real complaints ^_^

Got sexually assaulted, physically assaulted multiple times. The orderlies would put on "fights" at night and if we didn't let the other patients hit us they would threaten to keep us there longer. The orderlies were all black and instigated the black patients there to harass everyone. There were cameras but they were all "broken". All of our shoes would have chewed up pencils spit into them and cups of water were thrown on us often. "Us" being 2 scrawny white guys and 1 Asian and 1 Hispanic kid with 70% of the other patients being black. I got sexually molested by the Asian as I tried running away and the nurses injected me with haldol and as I lay paralyzed in my bed they came up and did things to me. In the showers the orderlies took pictures of us naked to humiliate us and show the pictures to everyone else. The phones were broken and no one could contact their families outside of the black patients using the orderlies phones. I broke a bit a week in and just sort of curled into a ball and withdrew.

I was 14 at the time and committed because of some basic teenage emo shit. That entire experience completely mentally scarred me on such a fundamental level that I really doubt I will ever recover from. I was already on my way of being another neglected abused NEET but after that it basically sealed the deal. Lots more shit happened during that month but thinking about it too long makes my chest hurt. I feel mildly envious of people who went to the psych ward for " lel I'm so heckin le MENTALLY ill XD" reasons and it was just like fucking boy scouts or something and not some utterly traumatizing Russian gulag tier shit that I had to experience. Any trust in authority or belief in society that might of survived until that point completely eroded away, we really are just violent apes driven wildly by random instincts and the social contract is a rather thin membrane that keeps human brutality at bay. Don't go to a psych ward, kids.

i feel kind of disappointed because psych wards are just boring and i've never had a romantic moment in them
except for preacher walking in the middle of the night and have a late night convo, obviously my Kobe joke was too soon

I was 12 years old when I first went to a mental hospital after a failed suicide attempt and it was a terrible experience. Adults were screaming and bullying kids who were already dealing with so much. I managed to stay on good behavior, which meant I got treated better from the staff. Fights were always breaking out. I only got into one fight, which was after another guy sexually assaulted me and my friend. I had to remain there for a while while the court determined whether I needed to be placed in foster care. In other words, it was like hell.

I made sure to be careful to not put myself in a position where I would be forced into one, its a stupid way to go.
I manage my shit outside of one because being forced would make it worse for me in particular.
If it gets really bad sometimes I think about checking myself in, but there isn't really a place that is ideal. I would feel better staying at a place with doctors and a schedule and with some of your belongings for the assurance until an episode blows over. Not entirely sure if those even exist.

No. They tried to involuntarily commit me but I did nothing wrong. However through the process I met my first gf who had just been released from a psych ward.

it scared me so fucking much
>depressed, mildly suicidal
>trapped in a room/wing with the mentally ill
>little privacy
>{{THEY}} decide when you leave
>mommy pays the BIG BUX for a few weeks of useless therapy and group activities
>Bonus: got to try electroshock therapy because I was too scared to say no. To this day I can only wonder what effect it might've had on my brain.

Friend was in one. Used to bring him stuff like coffee, books etc while he spend 10 weeks in a one.
>old building, from early 1800's
>at least two people per room
>rooms cannot be locked (unless it's isolation room)
>windows in every door, bars on every window
>showers and toilets didn't offer any privacy, no separating walls or curtains
>entertainment consisted of a deck of cards, a chessboard, some magazines and a television
>regular hospital food (ie bland), every utensil was plastic
>smokers had one smoking booth, whenever the door would open the whole hallway would reek
>no personal items unless doctor's okay'd it (not that you had any space to store any), could use his phone occasionally and even then had to ask for it for a phone call or text message
>you'd get slippers, pyjama, t-shirt, underwear that never fit, socks so loose they'd fall off your feet, tracksuit bottoms with high-viz stripes and a sweatshirt with buttons, all in garish colours to mark you as nutcase
>if you were deemed a hazard to yourself or others, complained too much, annoyed the staff or whatever into isolation you'd go - tied to a table too if you were too lively
>most people would just ask for more meds so they could sleep their days until release
>basically blandest and the most sterile human containment I've ever seen
Seems like bad time

Being in a psyche ward made me permanently hate niggers. Very similar to two psych wards I went to in the south. The niggers ran a racket with privileges for blacks. I saw a white boy get beaten, I got sat on until I puked blood, an arab kid got beat by a group of niggers, a white girl got her jaw broken during a beating and luckily it ended with jail time for two of the orderlies.

There were some friendly blacks.

dont have such stories as other anons, i only went there some afternoons to play tennis, but hated the patients and left. my problems didnt get fixed and no one tried to get me to attend again because im not selfharming or a harm to others and several years later im still stuck in limbo
