This is a RE-upload of a video I posted last night; one of the stories was cut short in the original upload (and I don't think the person who granted me permission to use the story would've appreciated that lol) SORRY GUYS, this is my bad :/
For the most part, psych wards are full of normalish people who had one bad night. The trick is to never ask when u can go home. The more u ask the longer they keep you
Eh, i asked to leave once and they let me leave. That was only because i had been there for the required 7 days or so. The doctor was actually not a terrible guy and saw that it wasn’t helping me and was hurting me, also. They just want to fill beds and make money. Insurance (where i live) pays $1000 per night for every bed filled. They don’t have your interests at heart even in the sick way you have portrayed, it’s all about money.

@@erismana2105 that's not true. I destroyed my family with my mental health. I was an awful person to be around when I was unstable and not taking care of myself. They did everything they possibly could to care for me before this became the last resort. Also, I voluntarily checked in my first time ever being in a mental health hospital. One of the primary reasons these hospitals are so awful is the other patients. All those patients represent somebody who's become either unbearable to be around or needs medical attention for themselves. Most family members are not qualified to deal with things like psychosis.

I’ve been in corrections and I’ve been on a psyche ward. And you are right it is worse than prison. It gave me PTSD. I think prisoners have it better actually.
I was a voluntary inpatient for 4-5 months back in 2018, I have no real memory of the first month, or the 4 months leading up to going in. It was the best place for me and I genuinely think I'd have offed myself had I not gone in. The staff I dealt with daily were really good to me (that said I'm 6ft 2 and 300lbs so not a small guy) they got me to a place where I've been safe for the last few years
@lookingupwithwonder they got me the therapy and medications I needed to get back to a baseline level to start on my recovery, without them I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be around any more.
This is such a great topic, thanks to the people who gave you these stories. I’ve been in the psychward as well, but for other things. It was a dual program! Please do more of these ones!! Or more hospital stories! ❤❤ thank you and the writers
As a former employee at a psych hospital I know how scary these places can be. Not just for the patients but also employees. I can’t say much, but I understand why before an understanding of mental health was established, everyone was considered possessed. I have seen some supernatural things, that if had I not believed in good, would’ve broken me. I have PTSD and other phobias I acquired while working there. Let’s just say, I see the whole world as a psych facility now
@@janetrawlings1691 but no mercy or payment for us, we signed up to be abused according to corporations. Nurse shortage? How about refusal to pay our nurses enough $$ 🤷🏽♀️
oh man, these stories make me feel so bad for these people. I kind of had a similar situation to the first story, and got a diagnosis of high functioning autism and aspergers. I was hospitalised for 3 days, but not on the psych ward. ironically they thought my best chance of recovery was at home with my family and I am so grateful for that. my best friend was on a psych ward, he must have been absolutely terrified because he is the loveliest guy. My parents have kind of "adopted" him. :)
I was 8 years old when I was SA and was having bad behavior issues from that, so my mom went behind my dads back and took me to a in patient child facility, a.k.a. Child psych ward I was left there for almost two months! Hardly saw any drs was kept away from the other kids and only saw a psychiatrist once while there and they wanted to keep me for a total of 6 months my dad said F that it was horrible and I still have nightmares about that place
@@kathrinrades my husband was just reading on a Facebook page about the place i went to and soooo many ppl have similar stories and experiences! And thank you so much 😊 he definitely was on my side he was a great man I miss him everyday! But I’m married with 3 amazing sons because the world didn’t end when I was 8
This makes me really sad. I’ve been to 2 psych wards and one of them was actually great and helped me a lot. There are good ones out there and you shouldn’t be afraid to seek help if you need it
Two years ago, my son (trans) voluntarily admitted himself into the hospital because he was a risk to himself. He shared a room with "Barbara". Barbara ended up wearing his extra set of clothes, even his underwear. He told the nurse and they made Barbara take it all off. That night, as he was sleeping he felt water being sprinkled on him. He woke up to Barbara standing by the side of his bed performing an "exorcism" him. He was so scared that he didn't say anything nor did he get up. He just pretended to "sleep" and stayed on alert until Barbara finished her "exorcism".
Unfortunately, we are told to affirm trans kids. Once we do, and their brain develop more, they are far far worse mentally. I cannot tell you how many times someone has checked in voluntary and then said "omg I don't belong here". Most times they are right. It's sad
@mrjonesandme8848 My son didn't come out as trans at the time that he voluntarily admitted himself. He has struggled with his mental health for almost ten years (8 years at that time) and has gone through therapy for just as long. It was disappointing and sad to realize that the hospitals in my area are not well trained or trained at all for those who are truly looking for some sort of "sanctuary" to keep them safe from themselves. My son said that the psych ward was filled with those who suffer from substance abuse. I'm not saying they're not important, but there should be a separate ward or they should be sent to a hospital specifically set up with those diagnosed with a mental health disorder. My son came out worst afterwards because to him, it validated his own thinking that no one cares and being unalive is the best solution.
@barb7124 Somewhere off in the distance, you hear a loud “REEEEEE!” upon the person you responded to reading what you posted. I hope you’re proud of yourself. 😂
My aunt had me committed to a facility when I was only eight years old. While the hospital I stayed at wasn't as bad as the one OP was committed to, it was still pretty bad. Rock hard beds and thin sheets that did little against the biting cold (they kept the temp low), having to ask to go to the bathroom, having to go to the bathroom before going to the showers (the showers were separate from the toilets), and that's about all I remember aside from having an allergic reaction to one of the pills they gave me. Thankfully, they were kind enough to take me off that particular medication.
I had the notification for the first one saved in my notifications bar, so imagine my confusion when the exact same video gets uploaded again and I have TWO notifications for it lmao! Much love Unit ❤
The girl in the 2nd story is just like me. Therapists, psychiatrists, and hospital stays all in abundance. Self harm and all diagnoses are exactly the same.
I scared two people working at a psych ward, one of them was standing over me to wake me up to take my blood pressaure with a machine, as I was woken up ,when I opened my eyes and saw him standing over me I screamed out of fear so he screamed too grabbed his machine and ran out of the room...poor guy, the other one was a young girl, I turned on the light on the wall next to the bed and wasn't prepared for the strong light so I went "OOO" and looked at her, she jumped back startled.
I hope the woman in story 2 got some good enjoyment out of the sims. The mental health hospital she was in sounds like a nightmare. I hope it has shut down
I suffered from psychosis at age 10, from adhd tablets, and they wanted to put me into a psych ward, but didn't when they found out, it was the tablets and not mental illness.
i am so happy they mentioned arachnophobia in this story. i struggle with arachnophobia to the point i cannot function anymore. fears are not phobias people, get that into your heads
Men used to send their wives to places like this for being “manic” when it’s really just hormones or a hormone imbalance. I’m glad this happens less. I have an aunt who is psychotic and she said she’d rather stay in jail than “the 5th floor”. That’s what we call a 51/50 here because that’s where you go. To a hospital on the 5th floor for 3 days. I visited her and it was terrible. But never visited her in jail. Been a decade since I’ve seen her. After she had 3 rounds of voluntary electric shock therapy… she was not the same.
Damn some people are so damn weak. Ive been dealing with axiety, panic attacks, "depression" getting bullied for 8 years, beat up, spat on, my father left when i was 4 i have not have friends nor a gf and i still carry on without any complaints. Ive had friends passing away and didnt even cry about it. Meds and these wards and stuff are big bs.
As a clinical psychology master's student, I cannot believe the level of negligence and unserious attitude from behalf of the medical staff in the first two stories. I can understand why medical staff may become desensitized, however, if you really have the patient's wellbeing as the primary goal in mind, you NEVER dismiss anything or react exaggeratively (depending on the situation). In my future practice, I promise to never make a client or patient feel dismissed or embarrassed for their disorder(s).
I will never go to mental institution I don't care if you call it a Adult Day Care Center or what I am not going there so yeah that won't be me and me story so I sure hope so
