When I was 22 my parents took me to a doctor. It turned out he was a psychiatrist. I was in bad shape but I thought life was just weighing down on me. After a bunch of questions by the psychiatrist he said it’s time for you to check into the mental hospital. I disagreed and ran. Well he called security and they chased me down. No way they could’ve caught me as I was a good athlete and could run fast. But my mom yelled out stop, they just want to help you. So I did stop and that gave the thugs a chance to catch me and inject me. I soon went limp and they threw me into the ambulance. I was taken to the Central Mental Hospital. Very traumatic and I blamed my dad for the longest time. AS it turned out this being thrown into a mental hospital was the right move. I would’ve been in and out of hospitals, prisons and homelessness I believe. Did something like this happen to you?
I had my psychotic break in public. Cops took me to the hospital. It was very confusing times.
I’ve had the police take me to the hospital a lot of times. They were always nice about it. Thankfully it hasn’t happened in a few years. I prefer the police taking me to the hospital over the ambulance ANY day…cuz you don’t get a bill from the police!
At 19 I was taken to hospital by police after psychotic episode where I was almost injected but agreed to take the knockout pill instead.
Its happened a bunch of times since then.
Yeah something similar, I rejected getting help for 5 years! I wish I got meds quicker… only a few chance encounter I didn’t like at the time but content now!
Sz was scary to me… but now I realise I’m not that bad
I was staying at a friends house and I started thinking they were trying to get me to marry their daughter. Then after that a year later I thought a coworker was trying to marry me. The next evening my head just exploded like I had a stroke or something and I rushed off to the emergency room.
So true Raven! The police almost had to take me one time but they passed.
Right on dude! Keep up the good work.
From 17 to 20 I just got progressively more isolated until I eventually snapped. I was spending day after day just laying in bed psychotic hoping the goodness / wholeness I felt before the break would come back. It was weird how it happened. There was definitely a prodromal phase but the actual break happened in an instance. I was making nachos and then ‘click’, all the good feelings left my body and I started having psychotic thoughts. I was seeing doctors outpatient for a couple weeks before they hospitalized me. If I had known what was what I could of avoided the hospital altogether as I’m not unreasonable in any respect. The way the illness has hit me has been completely immobilizing so there’s really no risk of me doing anything crazy. I just take the meds and waste away with occasional spikes in willpower.
I got my first psychosis from a couple of antidepressants. The psychiatry just went ‘oops stop taking them’ and left me psychotic. So it wasn’t quite like your experience at first. They got more violent on my second psychosis. I heard about people the psychiatry drugged with something that they weren’t allowed to know what it was and they got their first psychosis as a result. It’s upsetting and frightening that they get away with that.
Scary indeed! Some of the wild stuff we go through just to find a peaceful state of mind is wild! Just give us good treatment.
My pdoc suggested I go to the hospital once for outpatient therapy and doctor, I thought it would be outpatient but I guess I was crazy because they kept me in the locked ward.
I started thinking everyone hated me at a concert.
