I’ve never been to mental hospital. When i started hearing voices i called myself my pdoc even though i didn’t think i was ill. I knew that he was a person who could tell me what happened to me.

6-7 times, longest was 4-6 months after my psychiatrist extended my stay in court bcz I was refusing taking meds and staying. I was keeping the meds in my mouth and spat them when nurse went away.

Just the two , meadowfield in west sussex. When i was diagnosed with BPD. None whatso ever with the Sz diagnosis. I hate them with a passion - and they know it.

I always recover faster at home.

My worst hospitalization is when 4 cops came to my house bcz my parents told the ambulance that I am aggressive. The 4 cops forced me put clothes on as I was in boxers, they followed me everywhere they even watched me putting my clothes on.

They then forced me to go to mental hospital by following the ambulance and staying with me in mental hospital until I was admitted in mental hospital inside where they give you tons of unknown meds.
