I was in a sauna and these 2 old dudes came in and started talking about being off the reservation. Man I was out of it. The actual place I went was a mental facility.

I’m just glad I haven’t gone to one before.

It’s only bad when you go cold turkey on meds and the docs won’t prescribe you anything. I threatened to kill someone because they wouldn’t give me meds.

I’ve met a ton of people who escaped the mental facility in my assisted living facility I was in. That’s where you end up. It’s way worse than the hospital.

Nut house.

When I was a kid that’s how my Dad would answer the phone.

“Nut house, (last name) speaking”

“Psychiatric unit.” That’s the polite, politically correction version where I am from.

“Funny farm” is the offensive version. :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

There’s one I call “the hallway.” You can probably guess why. It’s not laid out well.

Someone in with me called it the rotundicus, coz the hallway was a round circle and when you got out you were often fatter from the meds.

I love the welcoming inviting names they give to some of the old mental institutions. When I was a little kid growing up our local Mental Institution was called “Cherry Farm”. I always wanted to go there because it sounded so lovely. lol.

Lol, funny farm…

That’s a good one

@anon39015889 I suppose “funny farm” is one of the better terms. When someone is psychotic, we say “away with the fairies”, which I quite like because a lot of people in Ireland believe in fairies.

Behavioral health clinic is what my last one was called.
