This video is absolutely smashing it. Well done man, well done for being open about your mental health problems you'll have helped a lot of people with this video!

[@JJArden]

Thanks mate!!@@NeuroTechNexus

[@Lala-jl7mi]

it almost looks like the adventures of mark twain, but i'm not sure!

[@Saxonbedwitch]

I've studied the tiny amount of footage. They look like they're down a well and like the actor Lionel Jeffries. I hate those cells in mh wards. Those beds😢 I was first sectioned in 1997 and it's changed so much for the worst.

[@JJArden]

@@Saxonbedwitch thank you! Tbh it’s not that bad now they used to all be dormitories but at least now they have single rooms some with a private toilet and shower. Hope you are doing well!

[@taraelizabethdensley9475]

The times I have spent in hospital, and the staff were awful. I was constantly told that I was taking up a bed someone else needed. So I learned to say that I was fine, no matter how crappy I really was, just to get discharged

[@JJArden]

I’m really sorry to hear that. The staff obviously shouldn’t say anything like that to a patient. How are you doing now? I hope you’re okay!

[@gazd8965]

That isn't right, they shouldn't be saying things like that at all. I remember telling a staff member in one hospital I was in that I felt like I could be discharged because I knew they needed the beds and she said they weren't bothered about things like that. Who are they to say which people need to have a bed? They should be focusing on the patients who are already in there. Some places have bad staff, I've had a terrible experience in one hospital but another hospital I was in a few years ago was excellent. Depends on the kind of people they have working in them, some people are just there for the easy money and so they can sit around not having to do much compared to other jobs.

[@user-hr4oy9xu2w]

I was a voluntary patient for just under 4 weeks, following a SERIOUS suicide attempt. I am a FIERCELY intelligent man, and some of the staff treated me/spoke to me like I was a CUNT. But I NEVER reacted to them/shouted at them, or CHINNED them, but I WANTED to. I SINCERELY believe and in fact KNOW (through my own personal experience) that a LOT of staff at Mental Health Hospitals, HATE THEIR JOBS/THEIR LIVES/THEIR PATIENTS. They're not all 'Saintly, and lovely.' Some are horrible unintelligent cunts. End of. Anyone find this upsetting/harsh? Your problem, and fuck off. I have LIVED through my catastrophe, and this is MY LIVED EXPERIENCE, of being a voluntary patient in a Mental health Hospital (The Maudsley) In London. If you're MASSIVELY depressed as I was, and virtually everyone else is on Carbamazepine/Olanzapine/Risperidone, and are hearing voices/seeing things (auditory & Visual hallucinations) and were frankly fucking POTTY, whilst in there, for someone like ME, who just wanted to be DEAD, it was totally and utterly ghastly, and frightening. One geezer (devoid of talent) Thought he was a famous RAPPER. Drove me round the fucking twist, he did!

[@audiogob9392]

As a person whom has suffered from mental health disorders for around nearly 3 decades is tiring & I seem to question everything like society & the universe since I was a child, and nobody used to listen to me for years tbh. But eventually I began to get emotionally abused by most of my town & I ended up with PPD which manifests the most disturbing waves of paranoia, I've actually been diagnosed with nearly ten different disorders. The worst was the PPD though, I don't like diagnosing myself cause it demoralises individuals such as myself & puts you into a little square box, but overall I think it's the most appropriate one. Social anxiety or any for a matter of fact turns into paranoia which makes you lose sanity, friends family and yourself such as me become all strangers & you feel like your not allowed to talk to certain people cause they might get livid with you for saying something offensive cause of anxiety etc, so I'm paranoid about myself and everyone becomes a stranger within these concrete landscapes of no show or tell, it made me have common out of context panic attacks, mental breakdowns & proper self abuse & suicidal behaviour making you manic. I wouldn't go near windows in fear of getting a brick through my window with delusions becoming more & more painful becoming real pain, you become feeble to social situations etc. And out of all my disorders the PPD or eternal paranoia gave me 9 suicide attempts as a teenager to adult, these wounded me up in various psychiatric units throughout Manchester. And yes I do remember those endless takeaways and most of your experiences; but I used to just flush some of my medications down the toilets, I did take some but mostly got rid, I dont think it's proper help. And each time I got psychiatric talks I'd make the women or man start crying because I talked about society & the universe in such a deep way that I could take but I suppose some couldn't. But yes I like this vid, and I love your honesty if it is!

[@JJArden]

Thanks for being so honest and open my friend. I am so sorry you have had to suffer like you have. All I can say is that I hope you feel better soon. I know rejecting medication can feel like the only right choice at times but it’s the only thing that can help you. There’s only so much care and attention another human being can give. Do you take any medication at the moment? I’m on depot injection still, and though it’s not very pleasant to take it, it really does help me. I rejected the help for many years my friend. I hope you can be open to it and find some help for yourself. Thank you for your comment and very interesting story. There is always hope! Don’t give up!

[@audiogob9392]

@@JJArden now yes I'm getting better, I've not really taken any medication for nearly a couple of years, I may only consume if the paranoia gets too much and other disorders I have, but I've made a lot of very deep thinking friends like myself, the years are frustrating but not as frustrating as it once was; I don't believe you can ever get rid of a mental illness but you can make it better, theirs no doubt about that.

[@shawnjudge2705]

I love seeing these videos because i feel like its spreading awareness of how horrible psyche wards are. I am so sorry everyone is having such a hard time though. I am personally in a horrible homeless shelter rn while experiencing severe symptoms and i have no family. However even though it is very obvious to me @JJArden is coming from a good place, I must warn you both not to take medication. Read Robert Whitaker's book "Anatomy of an Epidemic" it asks and answers the right questions. It has been an open secret for decades that the truth is the benefits of these drugs are actually from their brain damaging effects, they mellow out psychotic symptoms by a harmful doping effect. They also create chemical imbalances that ACTUALLY CAUSE psychotic symptoms. The reason people have severe relapses is because once they are on drug the brain adapts to having the drug in its system, so when you come off things can go haywire in the brain leading to potentially very serious mental health issues. People kill themselves and others from this effect when they come off the drugs, in the worst cases so a slow tapering process is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. Dont just stop taking them cold turkey if your on them! I know this is sensitive stuff and i say these things out of love ❤

[@DumbBritAbroad]

I've just a few hours ago, watched my mum get taken away under sector 2 of mental health, with the police restraining and cuffing her, and going in the ambulance with her, she refuses any help, and refuses to ever see a doctor/nhs or take medicine. but now after 9 years of trying, I have finally managed to get her the help she needs. they will keep her upto 28 days, but i am so worried.

[@JJArden]

Don’t be worried my friend! And well done for being there for her and getting her the help she needs! It might be daunting at first for her, and she might not want to be there, but mental health wards are very safe places and the staff will be keeping an eye on her around the clock. Hopefully she will come to terms with the idea of taking medication and see that the doctors and nurses there only want the best for her. It might take a long time, but this may well be the first step towards her getting better. It changed my life for the better going in hospital under a section. I also refused any help and fought the system for years and had to be forced to take medication. I have been through the worst times of my life still rejecting the help simply because I truly believed they didn’t understand and would make me worse. But, after a year or two I was a changed man! I didn’t want to be there at the time, but looking back on it, hospital was a really positive experience for me. I even spent Christmas and new years in there once! I’m so glad I went through it and I am now out of the other side. Hopefully I will never have to go through it again, but it’s reassuring that this system is in place to help me get on the right track again if I ever do relapse. I wish you and your mum all the best and hope she gets well soon!

I spent time on a psyc ward 13 years ago. I was a volunteer patient and I really can't complain about it at all the staff where lovely and I met some some lovely people . I have seen some very poorly people aswell.

[@ushnicyuvnikof2748]

If you are not cooperative you'll be there for life.

[@JJArden]

It’s more than co operative, it’s appreciative of the help and the realisation that you are un well and these people are just trying to help you. It takes trust, guts, determination and a whole lot of belief in the greater good. That’s the only way you will ever get better

[@REALCrazyCritic]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@JJArdenhe meant if the patient is not co-operative with the “system”. Not everybody has your experience, you’re lucky that you found the staff and the system on the whole to be worthy of your trust and out to help you etc. very lucky. 🍀 I disagree with you telling people that “the only way that they will ever get better” is by trusting the random staff and institution that they are placed into, especially as they’re more than likely not going to end up in the same facility, with the same staff, same programme, with the same issues, resources as you did, etc. 😊 Reality is that these places do more harm than good for many, same way that many people recover from a crisis period without the need for hospitalisation, or, after it and within the community and care options there… some don’t even need either of those, just some medication and time for it to take affect 👍

[@Humvee369]

Your montage of images is ACE. It's really compelling...maybe experiment with creating content without narration or with a montage of your own narration over the montage of images? It could be even more ace.

I had fortijuice at birmingham. For weeks I was given fortisip (more like a milkshake) until I heard of the juice version and requested it.

[@JJArden]

Yeah man the juice is good I do prefer fortisip now though if I have it more like a yogurt drink

[@robertellis6413]

Does recreational sports amd the like not help better than medication?

[@JJArden]

I don’t really do sports but I go on long walks with my dogs and that definitely helps me

[@bumhandle]

I had an experience with bad smell once. Some idiot called allen (he was so unbathed that when he had a shower his smell would errupt) he kicked his shoes off in the tv room at arden and one time they had someone kicking off and i had 'for my own safety' go to the tv room and had to put up with the powerful foot stink for several minutes. That piece of shit is gonna... probably not be reprobated, be has issues as well. One time i was on the tv room watching the hobbit, and he came in saying he was watching 'dr who', He started wrestling me for the tv remote and i pressed the alarm for help and he flinchef and let go. I don't like Allen entirely but he probably is a cool dude.

[@JJArden]

@@angelsnow2695 sorry to hear you’re going through a tough time at the moment. Don’t worry about being sectioned though if it comes to that. It’s nothing to be afraid of. It’s a very safe environment and there are staff looking after you around the clock. It might not seem ideal at first but only good things can come from it in my experience. The doctors and staff there may be able to examine you more closely and be able to prescribe a more suitable medication for you that gets rid of the pain. That’s what happened for me. I was in a lot of physical pain before I was sectioned and nothing would get rid of it. I also didn’t see the point in taking the medication the mental health doctors would prescribe as I didn’t think it would treat my physical pain. But after being forced to take it for a year or two my pain went away. I’m not sure where you will be sent to if you are sectioned, they try to keep you as local as possible but it is wherever there is a bed available so it could be quite a distance away. You are allowed visits and your phone though to keep in touch with those close to you. Try not to worry! Whatever happens, happens for a good reason and I’m sure your CPN just wants the best for you!

[@REALCrazyCritic]

Try to avoid being sectioned. It’s not a pleasant experience. It’s very rare that anybody finds it tolerable. Always remember, not everyone’s experience is the same at all. They most prob won’t section you simply for saying that you’re feeling to Sh. If this is deterring you from doings so though, keep believing lol 😂 👍

When you say very unwell, what where you doing? Did you see any strange stuff? Did you hallucinate? Did you have strange dreams such as out of body experience or lucid dreams? Did you go days with little to no sleep just before you got sectioned?

It was mainly the fact that I was poisoning myself with peppermint oil and not eating that was the reason I was unwell. But I may well have had delusional thoughts and hallucinations/hearing voices etc

I’m probably gonna be going to prison soon. I here the mental hospital is bad however I cannot fight at all and I’m weak so will be a target in prison, is it bad I’m debating faking a mental illness to go here?

[@JJArden]

It’s definitely better than prison you are allowed your phone etc but I wouldn’t recommend faking an illness to get yourself admitted

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

They let you have a camera in there? I thought it was not permitted. What medications did they put you on? Is it a life long medicine? After the first time did you get given meds did they prescribe pills and how did they monitor it?

[@JJArden]

I snuck a camera in this admission was in 2014 I did not have a phone then but phones are permitted with cameras on. As long as you don’t record other patients it’s not actually against the rules. I am on Zuclopenthixol under a community treatment order which means it is reviewed once a year to determine whether or not they want to keep me on it. It is administered via injection. But they did give me tablets for the side effects of this drug. I do not need to take them anymore but the side affects were bad in hospital and I needed to take them.

Thanks for watching mate! It’s not really the place for drug withdrawal and I have seen people come in who are going through that, but they are given some basic care and then allowed to leave.

[@JJArden]

Yes you are allowed your phone but if you have a long charging lead you won’t be allowed it on the ward. They will put the charger and it’s lead in a separate room off the ward where you can charge your phone. I suggest getting a smaller lead for charging your phone if you are ever looking at going to hospital, as then you are allowed to charge your phone on the ward. This is because patients use the leads to strangle themselves. There is a tv room yes but you don’t have one in your room. Thanks for watching!
