I miss the early days I was there. Before I became really psychotic. Any one else miss it?

No. They made me do activities and watch Ted talk videos on mental illness from 7:00am till 8:00pm. I was exhausted when I left the psych ward.

No. I hate those places. I’d go hide in the woods before ever getting locked up again.

@#$% no. Horrible, boring place. Needed to be there, but didn’t want to be there.

I didn’t mind it. Just didn’t like being on a locked ward. Paced a lot like I still do.
I actually had fun my first go round. Stayed four a month.
My second go round, I was suicidal and did not want to do anything and was crying and hugging the nurses for my life.
I never want to go through that again.

The ward I spent 12 days on from new years to mid-January taught me that I am incapable of even getting on with others who have mental health problems
Socialising for me is very difficult, and even people from a similar position as me I could not even get on with properly
In fact it became so hellish, had to leave before I was even up to my full dose of Clozapine
I am just an empty shell

Um, well, ya don’t go to a psych ward expecting to meet healthy people.
Or an AA meeting.

I meant more from my perspective
Pretty much overshared a lot
The other patients didn’t like me
Avoided being sectioned, so I could go out of the ward anytime I wanted, which pissed off the other patients.
Lucky I got out of there
In terms of meeting people, this is the first time in a long while where I have been living with others, and it was very traumatic experience

I made new friends in the psych ward, but once u get out of psychosis u kinda start to get annoyed because of other patients.
Joker i got a question, do u think your new job contributed to your relapse?

Not necessarily - but it was partly
I switched to Cariprazine before I started the job, which was a gamble.
It was not as effective as I’d hoped it would be
By time I got to hospital I had been on it for nearly 4 months…
Several things happened. I was stressed because of the job requiring me to learn a lot of new things, my step-sister disowned my step father, which was out of order - then on top of that my nan was in hospital and died on the 23rd December
My medication helped somewhat I believe, but it was not able to prevent the car from crashing

I’d rather box Tyson furry then go back to a psych ward. I’d rather give a blumpkin to Andre the giant then go back to the psych ward. I’d rather vote for trump then go back to the psych ward.
I hated every single day on the psych ward. But I would go again if necessary.
I get that. I had trouble handling a lineup at the dollar store today. Living with strangers? Nope.
Damn thats heavy, i think all that would drive a regular person insane

I do not miss anything about the psych ward, period. It is my hope that i never have to go back.

I learned that you shouldn’t fall in love with being in a psych ward no matter how many pretty girls and women are there, lol!
