I think I got some kind of trauma from my second stay at a ward last year
They threatened me with AP short-acting injections and 4 point restraints when I refused to take the sedative they offered (liquid benzo or smth) I was just scared of dying and demanded to get some help (I was having a panic attack but thought I was dying of a heart attack)
Then a psychiatrist came and said if I didn’t take the benzo they would place me on a psych hold and give me the shot and restrain me
neither of those things happened though, they just wrote that I’m against meds in the papers… sigh
I wasn’t psychotic just anxious so I don’t get why, I wasn’t violent or suicidal
this is an average experience but it was shocking to me since it was my 2nd time at the ward
