Worried and afraid

The other patients are acting erratically and I understand that they r sick but it’s making me scared
I’m voluntarily at a psych ward so they can switch my meds safely

Sounds about right. Just keep to yourself in the meantime and avoid the problem patients.

My roommate threaten to kill me if I didn’t agree to be friends, so I told him we are friends. Couple day later got close to one of the staff member and told her what happen, they give that guy an injection and put him in solitary confinement. :smiling_imp:

For me it was a torture. Fortunately you went in voluntarely and that changes the situation.

Be good and relax @Crystal-Cotton

Yeah, the psych ward is a strange place to be. I remember some woman came barging into my room in the middle of the night, didn’t say a word, turned around and left.

And I found out the staff kept notes on what I said and did when I was there. Made me clam up like a oyster pretty much.

Hope your stay in there ends up improving crystal cotton.
