Not to a hospital bed but by the police when I tried to run away after drinking after an overdose :confounded::confounded:

never in a hospital bed but I don’t think that’s really humane. Ive seen how some of those conditions occur. I dont agree with all the procedures they do.

I think I might have been one time when I overdosed on some pills. I don’t remember very well.

I have once, after I flew in a violent rage after taking some Piracetam and attacked my dad with an endless barrage of weak, flailing punches. My elbows are bad, so I kind of knew it wouldn’t cause damage, so that was one of my rationales. I also thought he was the “controller” of this reality in which I was trapped. Cops came and subdued me, then I was cuffed, and taken to the hospital for psych evaluation. In the evaluation room my hands and legs were cuffed, but I stayed stark still, as the synthetic drug had worn off by then. Also had a ridiculous inner dialogue going on.

Weird times, and one of my biggest regrets, hitting my dear pop.

Yes, they used four point restraints on me after a suicide attempt. I still have nightmares about it from time to time.

I’ve been restrained in an ambulance a few times but I think that’s protocol

But still, it made me feel horrible and was demoralizing and dehumanizing to me.

I have been once. They were belts. I was comforable but my legs were tied to and they were appart. I remember i was afraid someone will rape me.

I’ve not been in hospital but I’m sorry that doesn’t sound pleasant.

My regimen contains a great deal of vitamin supplements, they’ve made a big difference where antipsychotics were failing to help. That’s the natural part.

Only after I managed to wiggle my way out of the soft strap restraints twice to escape the ER. They used two pair of handcuffs super tight, left bruises. It was awful.

I’ve only been strapped to a hospital bed never in actual handcuffs.

Handcuffed once in a police station and in the back of a patrol vehicle.

Chained by leather cuffs on all four limbs to a hard leather table for hours at a time. One of the worst experiences in my life and it is barbaric in my opinion.
