Because I have been to been to one and I stayed there for a week because of a suicide attempt. But they try to keep me there for longer because they thought I was taking cocaine and heroin. Both of those I have never done nor do I know how to get it.

They kept on taking blood symbols from me everyday but found nothing. Of course. Because I have never did that. I don't even use drugs.

Ive attacked staff and have try to kill myself in a mental hospital. Til i was on the floor passed out. Ill been in restaints and had sedative shots. Ive at one time had to take thorazine shots 3 times a day for 5 days cause i was acting out so much. At least that why the nurse practitioner said but when the doctor came back he stop the order. Ive seen people pee in trash cans. Ive seen people try to get naked. Ive know this one chick who would whip themselfs but instead of keeping it in the toliet she throw it in the trash can nasty.
