They gave me something strong, some strong meds and I loosed my conscience for three days. They thought I was catatonic then but after three days I woke up scared and tie to a bed with my head leaning left so I wouldn’t vomit and die.
I could have been so eazy another statistic in the books, another man dead in psychiatric hospitals.
I Remeber we were 20 people in narcotics yard, some with dementia some with sz some with psychotic episodes. A lot of young people.
This guy looked after me a few days until he left, another guy stole my ciggaretes, another guy was talking nonsense, I was listining to radio and delusions.
I Remeber I was so medicated that I couldn’t eat, drink, or go to the toilet. I coudltn open a bottle of water, or open a bag of bread or hold my spoon in my hand. They kept giving my perfusion because I loosed a lot of weight and was underweight. It was a horrible time in my life, but life goes on so did I
They tried to put me into the psych ward for observation but it was full. Sounds scary though. I did go to the hospital, but they just handed me some meds and sent me home. That’s good that your life went on, real happy for you
I we can have rather traumatic experiences in psychiatric hospital.
Sounds like you had a awful time.
I was really scared in psychiatric hospital too.
Specially the first time when I was restrained by five or so on my belly so I couldn’t breath properly and then injected and locked in a tiny room with nothing soft in it and hard cold bright bad light and it smelt of vomit , urine and sh it.
Last time I begged them not to put me in isolation room and thankfully they did not .
I was refusing medication but after they forced medication in me they took me to my room.A “normal” room.
To be restrained to a bed like you were sounds so scary and traumatic .
