Bad Experience with Mental Hospital Treatment

YEP! Went twice for “refeeding” and I got trauma from the rude comments from Staff and nurses. And not to mention separation anxiety from them locking me on a bed with no visitors and no activities but TV or food for six months. I was 15!!!!! And not to mention I am still afraid of quiet places because I get panic attacks remembering the silence in the hospital room

2000% got sexually harassed and almost assaulted by an officer there and he slipped though the cracks, it cost everyone in my life money, and it made my ed worse because they forced me to eat, i hate that place

I have trauma from psychiatric hospitals too. And bills I haven’t been able to pay. After my longest stay, I thought I did get better, but I really just learned how to hide things better

yeah, they're just there so you can't do anything to yourself and get you into contact with long term mental health services. i've never met anyone who has gotten better from being in a psych ward.

100% I learn more by myself than there

YES!!! I once saw someone say “I went in with PTSD and came out with more PTSD” and it was so true. Absolutely traumatic to watch 12-year-olds pinned to the ground, strapped to a board, and dragged to an isolation room to get injected with tranquilizers. Wanted to die so bad the whole time I was there, getting out was the most exciting moment of my life. I started to have nightmares that I had to go back and they only stopped recently. I remember once we played a game where we said what rule we’d create if we were president or whatever and one kid said he’d shut down every inpatient mental hospital and everyone started cheering lmao
