Back in 2015 when my mom died. I hadn’t been hospitalized in 25 years but her passing put me over the edge. I remember my first morning in the psyche ward, they woke me up at 7:30 am for breakfast. I was sitting in a chair all alone, eating my little bowl of cold oatmeal and I had just lost my housing, my job was in jeopardy, my mom had just died and here I was back in the psyche ward at age 55. I started silently crying and the tears started streaming down my face. A couple people noticed but nobody said anything; nobody cared. I cried for about a minute and a half and then stopped. Yeah, that was pretty depressing.

I’m so sorry you had to go through that.
I see a similar fate in my future when my brother passes.
I think it showed strength that you got hospitalised instead of going off the deep end and OD’ing on streetdrugs.
Depression is a “beach”.

Ugh. You poor thing. That’s just awful. I’ve always thought hospital wards are run by sociopaths. They are so cold and mean. I’ll be so sad when my mom dies too

I’m sorry @77nick77
Yeah I took a big hit when my Mother died too but thankfully it didn’t put me over the edge.
I understand you and how difficult it is.

I lost my job when I was in a ward for the first time. It was scary to me. My dad’s been gone almost a year now. Sorry about your mom. I was severely depressed in the ward. Get to feeling better. Hugs
