Ask me any question about being a psychiatric inpatient...
Better to keep it all in a thread than hijack unrelated ones. That's if anyone could give a shit what it's like on a mental ward.

Because the meds they give you cause weight gain. (I do know you're not serious, btw).

I didn't mean to imply he's on meds, I was just answering his question as if it were related to being a psych patient.

Here's a fella who knows what it's like. Well, I didn't have it as bad as Cage (never been tied to a bed, for one thing). The bits I relate to are "shuffling the hallways, fucked off," and "If I try to refuse meds they force it in me / Everything they write on my chart is a plot to bring me down..."

Yeah, I know that. I used to come here a lot in another life. I don't recall any posters who were long-term inpatients, though, and, anyway, I genuinely wanted to share my own experiences with anyone interested. I don't think I'm something special (quite the opposite) but some people don't feel like they can talk about such things because of stigma, etc.

I didn't mean it to sound arrogant, but it's just a fact that certain issues around mental health still carry a stigma. People would rather just be flippant about it. I don't see myself as a poster boy for mental health awareness but what can I do with the shit I've experienced? At least if I try to do something constructive with it (in whatever small way) it will mean my time hasn't been a total waste.

Anyway, I might have come across as a dick but, you know, when I was here before I got really unwell, I honestly would've been interested to hear what psychiatric hospitals are like, what support you get, what privileges, what therapy, meds, etc.
I did think people who work in or study psychiatry/psychology would be interested, or anyone who simply likes to read about abnormal psychology, etc. I haven't been here for years, mind, so perhaps other people have already shared similar experiences and it's all old news. Or maybe there's just never been an appetite for it here. |

i'm a psychology student and was previously an inpatient quite a few times, probably total 4 months or so over 2 years. last time i was in was 4 years ago. pretty confident i'll never be in one again as a patient.
so this has been talked about a lot on here, there are other people also who have experienced being sectioned... quite a few on this board actually sorry for your ill health. |
