STOP GLAMOURIZING THE PSYCH WARD

[@arandomcatheehee]

When I was admitted, I was literally strapped to a stretcher by the police and forced into an ambulance. While at the psych ward, I made a friend who ended up getting SA'd when they put a guy in our group (the teenage female group), got in trouble for trying to stop another patient from scratching open her cuts, etc. Whenever people act like the psych ward is a fun, quirky thing, I genuinely want to punch them in the face. I can't talk about my true feelings when it comes to suicidal ideation or self harm out of fear of being put back in again.

[@reddbendd]

Maybe you should go back? I have no thoughts of self harm or suicidal ideation after 10days in an acute inpatient facility.

[@arandomcatheehee]

[@lynncohen7418]

They're only supposed to use restraints and/or seclusion if you're doing something that's harmful to yourself and/or those around you! Same with sedation. When you're admitted they have you sign a paper saying just that! The things they get away with is ridiculous! Unfortunately it happens! That was awesomely brave of you to share your story! You are a survivor!!!

The psych ward can be a really terrifying place. It should be approached with caution. I had no idea there were people glamorizing it.

[@barrett_wg]

Yeah, all over tiktok people are posting it in a way that makes it look like a fun place you want to be, it is not lol I try to avoid it at all costs unless I really need to be there. People are strange

[@reddbendd]

Hey I just wanted to say it’s really not that bad. I cannot attest to the adult psych ward, but the adolescent unit was really nice. The patients were all really nice and even tho some of them were weird, it was a positive experience. I would write down stuff I wanted the staff to google and they would write down the answers for me. I honestly had a good time, but only because I got along with the patients so well. If they were adults I wouldn’t be so friendly

Evil place. I was sent to my first one at 7, for severe ADHD. Once I got sent in, the worse I got. I was being sent to a place where some of the kids killed someone. I can remember a 16 year old who was in the same ward as me that forced himself on I think a 3 year old. Another person who intentionally ran someone over and killed them. Another person who was a drug addict. The list keeps going on and on. Those were the people they put a 7 year old with just severe ADHD around. I can even remember crying myself to sleep back then, begging for my ma, and being told by the guard, to just go to sleep. Me going in one time, caused me to start mimicking the violent actions of the other patients because I considered them to be my friends. I went from a normal kid that had ADHD to a violent paranoid skinhead thug that did anything and everything he could to get attention. It was solely for attention and because I liked the masculine-dominating fashion look (S and M, I'm very much masochistic). I hung out with my black and Hispanic friends (only had one white friend), and dated black, Asian, and Hispanic women, mostly just black women. My current girlfriend is a black girl. Like I said, attention. I was ostracized by my teacher's and classmates for going to a mental hospital. Everyone wouldn't say it. But they would give me this look that you could tell. They even treated me differently. I was bullied severely. Beaten up. Called names. Another thing, the more that I got sent in, the less that I could keep up my grades. It was bad. I didn't want to go to public school. Everyone treated me horribly, even the teachers. So I started not even going. Got in problems with truancy. Even when to court, and can you guess what became of it, another mental hospital. I eventually just decided to threaten the assistant principal for attention, which caused me to get permanently kicked out of school. When I would talk to my family, friends, and teachers, about my problems, no one would listen, and they would just recommend putting me in another mental hospital. It made me depressed and suicidal that I had no one to tell my woes to. My ma would even tell me an idiot and tell me no one is equal. If i was equal i would've married Chuck Norris. When I told the psychiatrists, who pretended to care, how depressed I was getting because no one would listen to my problems and it was leading me to suicidal thoughts, they just got my ma to send me to another mental hospital. I just began to bottle up my emotions. Dont tell anyone about them. No one cares. But when you do that, they eventually explode. So I just stay away from people when that occurs. That is the Coping mechanism that I've learned, which I still do to this day. I was in and out of hospitals until I turned 17, and distanced myself from my family, that was trying to make me into someone that I wasn't. They wanted me to Opie. But I'm just me. All of the stuff that I endured has made me distant, less emotional, and unable to express myself, because I fear that what happened to me as a kid, will happen to me again. The longer I went without going back to a mental hospital, the more normal I became. It has been twenty years. Im now a good worker, and I'm liked by my co-workers. I'm an active member of my church and Masonic lodge. I've had no problems. But anytime I remember the past, I go into an uncontrollable anger. The docs preyed on my ma. They manipulated her to put me somewhere. They put me on drugs (which I haven't taken, since 17). They wouldn't let me leave. They wouldn't let me call my family, except once a week, nor see them, except once a month, so that I could tell them what was going on (I even saw someone get stabbed, and an autistic kid get shoved in a cold shower). The guards would sleep with the female patients. All a mental hospital really is, is another name for a prison. It was an evil and dreadful experience for me. They should be banned.

[@Jayjaythejetplain]

You are so brave. I was sent to one when I was 15 because my ex wanted to make me look crazy to get away with sa me. It was terrifying and I was locked in with men who were much larger than me. Some of them were criminals. I was a little 15 year girl who had no defenses and I got tricked like a serial killer. I’m just happy I only spent one night. My heart goes out to you for having to go at 7. A 7 year old should not be treated like that under an circumstance

[@oliverzwatermelongum]

Thank you for making this. I was flasely put in one due to have an outburst from being sa. It was one of the most horrific and scary things that happened to me. Worst part I never had a history of mental health. I’m just happy I only had to spend one day.

[@kai_guy_87]

I had a positive experience and miss the place, but recognize that it should not be glamorized because they can be very traumatic.

[@iluvsubliminals]

I've been in the psych ward so many times and I honestly can't even count the amount of times I've been sexually harassed or assaulted (but never raped) by the men. The handcuffs would cut into my wrists. The last time I went to the hospital was so chaotic and traumatizing that I was reaching the brink of self harming and active suicidal ideation.

[@porkindorthy]

IT is different depending on where you are. GET HELP IF YOU NEED HELP, THIS IS ONLY ONE PERSONS EXPERIENCE I have been in several psych wards and every one was.a positive experience.

[@barrett_wg]

I’m not saying don’t go I’m just trying to tell people to stop glamorizing being in a hospital. The majority of people do not have a good time there and people on TikTok keep making it seem like a place you want to be

I wasn't really trying to come down on you. Everyone is going to experience it different. I have been needing to go back for awhile now but have been too scared because of my anxieties. Your experiences are totally valid. Sorry for posting on your posts, I was a bit high. Take care.

[@aprofungus417]

No one should go into a psych ward, yes some people were tricked into believing it is good for them but psych wards are never the places to go if you are trying to get help. It is an institution that is only concerned with punishing people for having and experiencing thoughts and feeling that are not approved by the government or society in general. If some want to kill themselves it's there body and there Choice, if people harm other people they should be imprisoned for that (but of course in a rehabilitative justice system the mental problems should be handled there) not for the mere possibility of them harming other people. In court are "normal" sent to prison when they didn't do something, but instead because they had a chance a possibility to harm someone, the answer is no. If we give these rights and protections to "normal" people, we must also give them to the "mentally ill". And I hate how much people, especially in my political field try to make it seem like force Hospitlisation is all unicorn shit & kittens. All this glamourization and "Destimatization" will leave many people down the dark path of imprisonment and torture ( take the judge resentburg center as an example here).

[@wendigo333]

That's why you thoroughly research the facility before you check in. My niece is bipolar. And my dad thoroughly researched multiple places before finding a place to have my niece evaluated without violating our basic human rights. Otherwise we stick to Communicare. As for me. I only have a very mild form of ADHD. So just some meds for the first 13 years of my life and I was good to go. Up until I was 10 and watched my mom pass away in my bedroom doorway. Never had to go to a psych ward but the all but my last counselor was pretty rude and wouldn't leave me alone to my school work which I buried myself into at the time. One counselor in particular did threaten to send me to one if I refused to listen to her and that was when I got particularly vocal in a 'cuss you out because your dropping my grades' sort of rant. Then she grabbed my wrist and I screamed "let me go or I'll show you what self defense the law will let me do". Afterwards I went to the office called my dad and got that counselor fired and blacklisted. In short what that hospital did to you was a violation of your HUMAN rights.

[@SurfingPikachu17]

If you are Autistic or have ADHD or have ehlers danlos you will get no accomodations whatsoever. They lock you out of your room all day long, they FORCIBLY draw your blood at 5AM the first day, and a man will shine a weird green light on you multiple times throughout the night. The only thing I looked forward to was eating, and when there was Art or Music therapy. Some day we just sat in the ward with the tv on and could sit or color. The lack of stimulation was horrible. I remember having to pace up and down the small hallway where the rooms were, several times in a row. Another scary thing that happened to me was that the first day I was there I got diarrhea from being in a new environment with a lot of people, so the nurse put me on some anti-diarrheal, put the stuff was so strong I couldn't poop for many days. At one point my lower body and sphincter actually got really cold, and it was scary. The worst part is no one seemed to care. I also was having some kind of reaction from a concussion and asked to go to the hospital and none of the staff took me seriously and they just said "you are at a hospital" and then they said that they didn't have anybody that could examine my head to make sure I was okay and they wouldn't transfer me. They wouldn't even let my mom take me out. One more thing I'd like to mention is that I told them I was having trouble sleeping so they put me on trazodone (which I don't recommend to anyone) it knocked me out so bad that I passed out while sitting at a table and no one cared, they also didn't seem to care when I was falling asleep during group that they made us do every morning. That stuff was really strong...

[@moneytaker2483]

I literally was held for 3 months after I was supposedly clear. I was forced to go there by my parents because I had accidentally overdosed on a drug that the doctor had given me. I was scared and helpless and I didn't know what was happening. I was in a coma for two weeks after and I had almost died if one of my bunkmates hadn't have said something. I had succumbed severe blunt force trauma to the head, and I was given sedatives that were way too high in dosage. after the ordeal I was severely malnutritioned to the point of almost starvation. keep in mind I had just woke up there and I had no idea where I was. I didn't see the sun for two weeks after I was supposedly "checked in."

[@LisaFarren-up1zz]

I was on a psyche ward for two years straight from aged 19.I can't even explain the trauma.On my first day I got punched in the face by a nurse.At one point I was subjected to having cold water thrown on me and left without dry clothes for a whole night.I was also SA'd numerous times.Solitary confinement for 4 months without my family visiting was the worst.Some of the nurses were sadistic.I also experienced being restrained, it's terrifying when you don't know what's happening or why you are there.

[@chyannefogle7328]

I was admitted when I was 17 I went willingly because I wanted to go I needed to. I begged my dad for a different kind of help told him I was feeling suicidal and needed help. He called the cops to get me help and I remember the cop getting there at the house and saying wow most people your age aren't so cooperative I road in the back seat with him to the hospital my dad followed behind me. I don't remember being in a 72 hour hold but it was also a long time ago for me. I do remember it being a long time until I got to the mental facility. My experience wasn't the greatest I think I stayed there for a week and then convinced them to let me go live with my mom.

[@timmyyukialien]

im glad u made this video.. people on tik tok and other people I've met be faking it for whatever reason... ive been to the ward over 20 times, it does help when it's needed but I don't like how people are glamorize it either.

[@roaches7963]

I only went once, it was to a voluntary ward and while most of my experience was postive, when I was in the ER, the nurses threatened to sedate a girl just because she was talking too much. She was in a manic episode but wasn't doing anything to harm herself or others, she just had rapid speech. Shit like that scared me tbh. And when i was in the ward, one of the nurses was just fucking awful and treated everyone like prisoners. This was during covid, and since we weren't allowed any vistors, they allowed us to use our phones for certain hours of the afternoon, and she confiscated my roommate's laptop. Not even the other nurses liked her. People in power seem to forget we're human just like them. We're not criminals. Don't sedate someone just because they're 'being inconvient'. And the stories I've heard from the patients who experienced abuse from the other psych ward faclilites was heartbreaking. This needs to change. Like wtf.

[@kingofichigo]

Humans can not ever be trusted with power

[@BlissfulAriana]

I was forced into one when I wasn't even melting down. I had a history of self harm yes but what actually got me there was as a 27 year old woman I got on HRT, hormone replacement therapy, because I'm trans. My dad had a meltdown over that and lied to the police claiming I was making suicidal threats. That got me 51 50'd/pink slipped and I was forced into one for a week. Now that may not sound horrible to some people but to someone who didn't make those threats and knew the reason I was in there was because I wasn't being accepted because of me being trans was so immensely traumatizing. I think I've developed little episodes of extreme anxiety (I already had an anxiety disorder) where I feel like I'm trapped in the psych ward again. All the experience taught me was if I am going through self harm or extreme depression is to not tell anyone. Don't tell anyone. Ever. Because I'm so terrified of being imprisoned again. That's the one thing I learned from that place. Also yeah we weren't allowed phones or electronics of any kind. I was thankfully able to get a hold of an online friend through his phone number on the community phone though and that was the only thing to ground me to reality.

[@seeminglyindistressed3855]

For me i got in a psych ward for being stressed in highschool that i got a seizure like i was running away to my moms house to get away from the presure my dad putting on me for doing terrible in school. My experince being at the psych ward was just me throwing ball up in the air then catching It while walking back in fourth and when i got moved to a another build then there i was redrawing the art i saw on a peace of paper. At night i would just listen to the radio because i was mostly night owl like honestly i don't how i had enough energy to stay up without falling asleep during the day.I would have stayed longer away from my family but i was woried about school so I begged to leave then they let me go without interacting with the level they had overthere.Wierd thing is my family missed me after being gone and even my younger brother who bullies me wanted to hug me but I didn't really accept his hug because all I was thinking about how I was going to survive school then I arrived to my room(which is the laundry room) I finally had a TV.

I've been to the psych hospital numerous times. once in 2012, then in 2016, and 4 times in 2020. the first time, I had a complete meltdown and one of the nurses injected me with Haldol. all the times after that, I tried to stay as calm as I could. I learned that if you said and did what they wanted you to, the stay would go easier for everyone involved.

[@AmyGrape-wc9uy]

There is nothing a phyce ward can do for you that you cant do on your own without being admitted. Unless you're literally lost all control of reality or you WILL end your own life, then dont go. Even if the ward helps while you're in by some miracle, youre going to get kicked out and right back to square one without any help. I see almost every single one have a lack of support afterwards. Almost every single person I've talked to that has been in, has been made worse by being in a mental hospital. So yeah, find the therapist and doctor yourself and skip the trauma if you ask me.

[@victoriahope8371]

Finally. I feel heard here. I'm disgusted that people glamorize the psych ward/mental hospital. It's revolting. It's full on abusive at these places. I've only been in one from May 20-june2 2023 and it was horrible. Torture. They changed my status from voluntarily to involuntarily while admitting me and held me there. I wasn't being violent towards the staff until they booty juiced me. The nurse holding my neck I bit her thumb until there was bone because I was scared since I was being tackled and my pants being pulled down without my consent. If you work at a mental hospital/psych ward and don't expect to get hit or bit or assaulted by patients because you are violating your human rights, you are too stupid to work or function in society. Security got called on anyone for any reason too. I hope they close every psych ward and mental hospital down. They do more harm than help. Don't glamorize the psych ward. It's hell.

Why does everyone seem to invalidate and stomp over everyone's experiences based on their own or what they've heard etc? This world isn't black and white. There are compasdionate caring staff and patients, then there are abusive, neglectful, violent etc staff, patients and facilities. I'm so gladdened when someone actually got help or had a positive experience. Where I live though, the vast majority are left hopeless and traumatized or even just a negative experience that wasn't helpful. I'm so tired of others losing their minds when actual patients suffering share their experiences that were harmful. I can't even go anywhere inpatient wise because it's so triggering to me. I've been in long term state hospitals and a million other inpatient settings. There is so much immoral and unethical things going on in these places and it NEEDS awareness and to be talked about.

One of my stays I had no off unit passes for months. Yes I have been a danger to myself and yes I’ve been violent but at the same time I never understand why I do it. It doesn’t feel like it’s me doing it. People can trust me. Everyone in that shit hole was treated poorly every time I’ve been there. I’ve been in and out of the ward since I was 12 and I’m 19.

[@DisabledPsychedelica]

@@barrett_wg wow, thanks for admitting to a being violent with no control over yourself and needing restraints… that’s probably why you were bruised. Restraints don’t cause loss of circulation, the straps can’t close that tight unless you’re obese. You were probably fighting them so much you became sore. If you’re that violent you leave no choice for them to readjust the position bc you’re constantly fighting. As well… if you were violent and in straps so much how would you really know what was going on the unit. If you can’t even trust yourself… how can we trusts you. You obviously can’t see how this was your own fault even while admitting as much. Also do you realize that off unit privileges are a fucking privilege‽ Most people do not get to go off the unit ever bc most countries do not allow it. Stop whining and check your privilege dude. 🙄

Psych wards are some of the worst places for a person suffering. What she said is true. Many nurses and psychiatrists don’t give a damn about their patients. Psychiatrists are quacks, who sit in a cozy office, don’t have to touch you, or perform any tests, listen to your problems, and make a determination if you’re suffering from a specific emotional problem…all while making a nice salary. They know nothing about the brain.

Was it male staff that would watch you shower ? Get a forced g-tube if you don't want to eat their food because it sucks. Do cops ever watch these videos of people testifying to the crimes committed against them in those government institutions. Don't they know or care ? I guess they think its okey, until it happens to them. Then they realize what is really happening. I am sorry for all the horrible thing that were done to you. You need some good friends to help you through this. Do you have any ?

PLEASE DO NOT MAKE IT OUT TO BE A NEGATIVE EXPERIENCE. GET HELP IF YOU NEED HELP! ! !

[@koalafromtomorrow5656]

what wrong with telling the truth

[@porkindorthy]

@@koalafromtomorrow5656 becaose everyone is not going to have the same experience you had. spreading negative vibes is going to keep people from getting the help they need when they need it the most. you go in with a negative attitude expect a negative experience.
