i am actually surprised they let them use their phones inside the psych ward? bc when I was in the psych ward my phone was taken from me bc I could not be in contact with the outside world...
@Jeffree Star concealer 9AA you know even homeless people have phones? It's their own phones they're being allowed to use..... They're not rich, they're just in a psych ward in an American or Canadian institution.
I had one of those blankets as my baby blanket growing up, they give them to newborns too - not just in psych wards, that’s literally how I got mine. Also those grippy socks, when I was in for appendicitis I was given them to stop myself from slipping over on their slippery floors, even though I had my own slippers, yknow.
As someone who works in psych ED and the mental health unit. We don't allow phones or jewelry and it's just a room and bathroom. These are really nice places that the videos are being shot at.
It depends on security levels atleast here in Sweden, worked at a high security man... that were fun. But at level three they are allowed to have phones.
REAL! I dont work at one or nuthin but ive been in an out of a few different ones and i got a bathroom with no door, a bed that was screwed to the ground, a coloring book and 10 crayola markers. I got roll on deodorant, no bra, no metal, and no shoes. No phones, and no contacting anybody (visit hours) Other than immediate family
mental health issues are just nutrition deficincies, 92 percent of the population doesnt even know about nutrition deficiencies. its on purpose so the heathcare industry can make billions and cure nothing and keep you sick. a preservitive free myers cocktail iv and preservitive free d3 injjection or iv will cure almost all health issues in about a week. you just do them once a month. chemical imbalance/trauma/genetic reasons for mental health issues a scam and a lie.
At least y'all get your own bathroom and don't have to share one with the whole ward, male and female, with no locks and easy view to the horrific shower
I've been in psych wards... I wanna know what kind of psych wards exist that let people have phones and don't treat patients like prisoners and 3 year olds, because they seem so much better, because if you tried to bring your phone with you it was confiscated immediately and locked away until you left.
“Romanticizing” and “showing off” being in a psych ward like it’s cool makes me so angry. A lot of these places are so cushy. I don’t have rich parents to send me to a nice private psychiatric facility, I’ve been in and out of a few places that where like jail. You get stripped searched upon entering. No cell phones, no electronics, no makeup, nothing but your clothes that get all strings ripped and cut off before entering your unit. It’s hell, it’s embarrassing, it’s dehumanizing. Reeks of vomit and pee, homeless people everywhere, cold food that you normally eat warm that has no flavor and looks a lot like jail food. I was severely underweight and forced to drink warm ensure because I couldn’t eat their food. No doors, even when you need to shower and men and women are housed in the same units. Creepy dudes hitting on you. Same shank free toothbrushes, soap and toothpaste jail has that hardly clean you and you have to return these items after showering/brushing your teeth like your a child. Shower is cold water that you have to press a button every 15 seconds so you can keep the water going. People screaming constantly. Psychiatrists that visit you every day that obviously couldnt care less about you. These videos make me so angry. Mental illness is ugly, it’s not cute, fun or romantic.
Thank you. I can't stand girls that think being "crazy" is a quirky personality trait. It's hell dealing w mental illness and they act like they're at summer camp.
It’s called a confidentiality breach, you should have been told about it. It’s means they can’t tell anyone anything you said unless they think it’s necessary to stop you from hurting yourself or others.
Correction, your therapist isn't allowed to tell anyone the things you say unless the things you tell them mark you as a threat to yourself or others in their eyes, in which case they are allowed to contact the proper authorities to get you help
@@smileyfroggyz they let me have mine, though they would take them away at night until i told them that im pretty much blind without them and then they let me keep them but i had to sign a thing saying i no slice slice ya know?
You can’t romanticise psych wards, mental illness etc.. but I’m gonna take something different from this as someone who was in a psych ward with many years of bad mental health experience It’s alright to look at this in a positive light, like how cozy these wards are, to make you feel welcome and safe. Yeah depression is bullshit and it’s ugly, but I’ve created stories poems and plenty of things from my morbid brain that sometimes it does seem almost beautiful. Having depression and anxiety isn’t a cute or quirky trait, but being able to find comfort and adapting to find peace in the lowest of situations is a pretty attractive trait for me
Yeah! Like everyone’s saying “don’t romanticise mental hospitals” but i want to go to one bc of mental health, but i know it will be horrible, so I’m trying to romanticise it for myself if that makes sense? Not glorifying a horrible place but making it more bearable.
Well when I went inpatient I remember learning about different stages of mental hospitals. Like, I was only there for two weeks so they could get me on medication and see if it helped me or not (inpatient) but I do believe they let you have phone time If you’re residential which means you’re there for a month at the least. This might have only been the one I went to but it could apply to other places!
was at a psych ward 3 times in the past year. during my third visit the no phones rule changed across the district because many patients including myself at this particular hospital didnt give back our phones as protest. we would rather hold onto our dead phones than give it back to them. ppl made tiktoks about this revolution, it spread to other hospitals in the district. we stopped handing back our phones. couple days later theres talk from all the drs and nurses like "ok we are going to trial constant phones on the ward" lmao and now the no phones rule is completely abolished across psych wards here and i couldnt be prouder to have been part of that LOL
(im australian btw) most wards here had a "phone group" twice a day where you were in a room and ur electronics came out of a locked box. theyre lenient with what items ppl that have been inpatient for months can have access to, like wireless headphones and makeup, ipads and even laptops, but they had to be evaluated for their risk of having these items. these are usually schizophrenic people that aren't well enough to function in the world but are not suicidal so they pretty much live in hospital. dont get me wrong it was a pretty shit hospital and many patients easily snuck smokes and lit them on the outlets in their rooms prison style. most disturbing patient i saw was a rly aggressive guy withdrawing from ice, his clothes were cum covered and he wouldnt shower... he got relocated to a more intensive care inpatient unit. there has never been an incident of anyone taking or breaking another's phone or valuable property. you just have to be trusted. that being said we were all sick of being treated like kindergarteners like why tf does a nurse have authority over my freedom to speak to people i know when i want to? im too stubborn to be treated like that lol
I mean,,, proof that you all are addicted to the instant gratification of the internet and that you SHOULD, indeed, have given out your phones lmao but you do you
Just for a heads up psych centers are supposed to drive you a bit nuts on purpose so the docs can analyze you better. Otherwise if you have everything you want to make you happy like your phone, its just easier to hide your real self. Everyone that goes into a pysch center eventually tries to mastermind thier way out through good behavior and you learn absolutely nothing and dont get the help you need. Let loose when youre there. Its good to release those emotions. It may keep you there a bit longer which ill admit ive masterminded my way out as i call it but in the end the docs will have a better look at you and be able to help you in better ways that meet your needs
Ooooooh.... No reason why kids were throwing buckets of markers at each other and screaming like it's the end of the world.... I'm going to one again tomorrow, wish me luck... (I've been to a psych ward, I'm going to a different one this time.)
Through only drugs. The second time taught me nothing even though I was loosing it. And the drugs they gave me barely worked. The only reason I got out was because of what a goddess taught me not the staff. They just wanted to restrain and booty juice me. They didn’t care when I might have broken my foot because I could still walk. All I “learned” from the staff was to numb everything when the hallucinations act up. I couldn’t cry, I couldn’t let anything out without quickly getting held down. I never even tried to hurt anyone and when I got overwhelmed they just held me down. It was because of them only a few months later I started developing my catatonic episodes. Because it’s better to be lost in a familiar hell than to have people hold you down for no reason. I still have nightmares and barely trust any doctors after that. My foot still has things pop out of place but I just pop them back and go about my day because why would doctors believe me when the psych ward that was supposed to help me only hurt me.
Pads for doors? I think the one I was in had something like that. They were huge grey foam boards things that were attached to the door frames to our bathrooms by two small velcro straps
idk that much abt psych wards and stuff, but maybe they haven't been showing symptoms of whatever they have, or they just have some kind of disease that doesn't involve self harm, or yk eating it. but once again, i rlly don't know SO PLEASE NOBOBDY @ ME
They’re in the UK, where stays are often like a month or longer- the psych wards there are pretty lenient with what you’re allowed to have in your room once you’ve stabilized a bit and are lower risk.
They were in there for like 7 months also in the one they went to youre aloud to personaise it with someone watching you and after you've been evaluated
Im not trying to excuse it but sometimes it can be a coping mechanism i follow a few people in this video and they all did get better a few of them relapsed and one of them went back because when she stopped doing these videos because that was her way of expressing herself and the things she been though
I used to watch these psych ward tiktoks religiously when i was mentally not doing too slay, but now that ive been there, gotten better, and been honest, I've been so happy.
Mine wasn't the best, but it was okay. The worst parts about it had to be the stale smell of my dorm and the sticky/dirty floor. (+ the other obvious precautions the hospital needed to take) even the food was pretty decent. Better than the food I used to eat in public school, that's for sure
This...really isn't how psych wards actually are...at least the ones I've seen most having to deal with including myself. I was lucky we at the very least had doors but we couldn't have phones or any electronics of any kind, I was forced into doing group sessions despite in my previous diagnosis having social anxiety, no bathrooms in our rooms and we had to ask to use the restroom which is always locked so if you don't find a nurse or doctor to unlock it you're screwed, horrible showers, honestly I was lucky I was at least allowed to bring books after some begging because I needed SOMETHING to do there. And the nurses and doctors can just barge in your room whenever. I also got placed with someone who, I hate to say it but was in a really bad mental state. She had been there for 7 months and I don't know if she's left because I left before her but she would tell me ways I could hurt myself in there so I'm kinda worried a bit about her honestly. So those places aren't even fully safe anyways. Also, they don't lock the doors on the bedrooms and all of us slept in the same building literally just meters from the other rooms. Any one of the ones that had anger issues or sexual problems easily could've done something.
I’m very upset because I feel like a danger to myself I have not self harmed myself yet but I think about it so often I’ve become so close to cutting myself intentionally on many occasions but the only mental health hospital in my area looks like a prison. It’s dirty, patients have left horrible reviews saying the care there is horrible they barely attend you and I’m just sad. And like I have a therapist but for me it’s really hard to open up about things I’ve been depressed, issues at home, but never really any of this stuff and I’m just ready to burst in tears.
I’m sorry you are going through all that Corona Lisa. If you feel like you are a danger to yourself please call helplines in your country. I def understand where you are coming and you need to know that those thoughts and your actions are not a reflection of you it is a reflection the pain you’re brain is trying to process. I don’t know what your daily environment is but I hope it is safe and healthy. If there is someone you trust to confine these emotions to talk to them and let them be your support because you need it. If not try to look for outlets like art or journaling. Journaling is great to help recognize emotional patterns and self reflection. I cannot imagine the pain you are in and I pray that can learn to cope with this. We all experience this you are not alone in this.
Yeah, these kids probably didn’t go to a MH. And if they did, they probably went to the ones where you have to pay a 1,000-10,000 admission fee (idk what word to use). I also feel like there’s a lot of stereotypes in these type of videos. Either way, these videos are kinda shi++y.
i blacked out when i got to the hospitals psych ward 🤣 i was screaming and fighting them with all my strength, so 5-6 of the staff held me down and stuck a needle in my ass and i fell asleep. woke up, thought i married the weeknd and thought he gave me butt implants 😭
The mental health department in my hospital was non-existent when I attempted suicide. i was forced into the child’s A&E department and kept in there. I was left in the waiting room for seven hours, passed out in the bathroom twice whilst throwing up consistently for hours, not given IV for dehydration or even any treatment to slow the effects of the overdose. Just an anti-sickness tablet which made me throw up more. And I got given a bed around midnight, after being there since 4pm. And it was an open room with four other beds, a child screaming down the hall, a girl across from me with NSSI issues and an eating disorder and no medical care around us whatsoever. Seven in the morning, saw the crisis team, and they told me that I would be fine back at home because i was not being sick anymore and with weekly therapy i would be fine. My dad took me home and that was it. Less than 24 hours in hospital at 14 years old for a suicide attempt. Their treatment towards me made me feel sick. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. Anyone with a psych ward or hospital room as nice as the ones in these videos are extremely lucky.
I'll never forget that one time in group where we have to choose random objects around the room and make up an advertisment to 'sell' it, and this one guy takes a plastic turtle and says it's "very durable", and then proceeds to chuck it at a wall to prove it. The funniest part is that he never got in trouble for doing so and just keep doing it to keep proving how good this turtle was and why we should buy it. Edit: Also another thing- that was the only funny or good thing that happened when I was there, the rest of it was complete hell. The workers don't give two craps about how you are, all they care about is getting paid. I'm so glad I left that place :')
If people are in it for the money they need to get a new fucking job. The wellbeing and potentially lives of people are in their hands. This is why instatutions like this need to listen and adapt from what the people who need help would actually benefit from, it would improve the system a lot. Throwing together a random 'safe' room and isolating the people in their from the world is only going to make things worse. I myself have not been in, or worked at one of these hospitals. However, mental health and mental issues are something i have dealt with and struggled with most of my life, and I understand how difficult it is to improve your mental health without having trauma from places like this.
@@rosiesartsy Thank you, I honestly couldn't have said it better than you had. So many institutes nowadays are taking advantage of those with mental disorders or are completely regarding them as not even human and degrading them for something they can't control. Instead of trying to help them they only care about "doing their job", which isn't even helping these people out. I remember this one time at group where I had bursted into tears because the staff were being so disrespectful to everyone, and I remember them saying that their job was just to make us "better", but the way it was said was like we were some sort of disease. They didn't care if we were happy, they didn't care if the Institute/Themselves was making things worse, they just wanted the money. That's the problem with these places. The rules are fine because they are there to protect you, but the workers there are the absolute worse. It makes you wonder if they were actually trained or even qualified for the job or if they just hired random people to act as babysitters.
@@everybody1211 I am so sorry you had to go through that, There should definitely be a full training program that staff have to go through if there isn't already. Sometimes the people who know how to help best, are those who have been through it themselves. There should also be a choice of activities for people staying there to participate in, and the freedom to not participate if they do not wish to. Not all disorders/ conditions are helped in the same way, so in my opinion there should be different schedules and plans for each person/ group. That they, themselves can have some involvement in selecting. This is just some of many things that I think need improving. These places need to stop being places people fear or hate, and start being comforting and helpful like they are supposed to be.
Its litteraly me, I guess I'm so good at hiding it my parents havent even found out yet, hehehe and they never will. Actually they prob will once I'm dead XD
@@theo_is_hiddled8880 I’ve told my parents, I’ve never done anything except once the other day but I don’t want to say in case it triggers someone. I’m trying to find a therapist to see what they would say if I should emit or not
I NEVER got a welcome basket in psych wards... I always got a folder, “therapeutic”worksheets, and a journal! How are they allowed to have their phones on a psych ward? What if a patient grabs the phone out of another persons hand and smashes it or something? You have no idea what other people are in the hospital for, because they could be lying to you about why they’re really there.
STORYTIME!!! I went to the psych ward twice, the first time was fine, everyone was nice and it was low-key fun, but the 2nd time was bad. i waited for a room for 16 hours and some kid tried to kill me, like fr. he tried to put a pillow on my face to suffocate me, and he threw his shoes at me and threatened me. when I got up to a room finally, he was in the room next to me and in the middle of the night I came out to use the bathroom (they had to unlock it for you) and he was punching and beating up his roommate. anyways feel free to reply with questions and/or story's
That sounds so fucking awful. I had an experience like that where the other kid kept invading my privacy and stealing my stuff and threatening me and shit. So sorry about that.
I've been in pychward and it was so chaotic, there were always yelling outside but my pycho friends are so fun and they bring us Ice cream if were good ^^
my friend was in a pyche ward for a bit for att.kms because of her family issues and she was doing TikTok to talk to me. One time, she posted a video abt her room and it was no wear near as nice as some of the rooms in the video. for the first 3 months she was in a really shitty room but eventually got moved to a better one after another patient had been discharged. Fast forward 2 years and she’s been back for a few months now. Her name is Mei and we celebrated 7y best friend-hood just yesterday on the 17th. Luv you Meo-babe! If you ever read this, just remember: if life anyone ever fucks with you, get ‘em with the holy hand grenade lmao.
@@maxxie5500 Well, if you find a good one then you can keep your phone. Not the ones in my state though. If you're in Wyoming, say goodbye to your phone.
Psych wards arent like the 5 star hotels they r showing. Its practically like being caged like an animal. There are different ones but the ones they r showing are not the only types
@lvjyatlast Bro. Have you ever heard of variance? Just because a lot of psych wards are ass doesn't mean all of them are. Good people exist out there. Your negative experience is important and you have every right to share it, but THEY have every right to share their success stories, too. What the fuck you want them to do, go record in a WORSE ward? They usually don't even pick these places!
@@onettaviator5396im sry i meant in for the comment. the comment stated that "what is like to be in one" i was just tellin that there isnt only these kind of ones they r showing
wow like I get that these rooms need to be safe but is it so hard to use some more colors and maybe put some illustrations on the walls? A room with a color palette like that can't be motivating for people to improve their mental health...
None of the wards I have ever been in were like this, even at the ones I was in for longer periods of time. Seeing people allowed to have phones is really strange, I didn’t even know inpatient treatments that let you have phones existed…
In my psych ward in California it was kinda small and simple everyone was really nice and group therapy was good, we weren’t allowed phones, shoe laces literally anything that can be a danger or “weapon” to us, we were only allowed to be on the phone 10 minutes however we were allowed to call as many times as we wanted until group therapy started, we had outside time for an hour twice a day and for our meals it was probably everyone’s favorite since we got little menus and got to circle whatever they had, we had crayons and pencils but they had to sharpen them and they gave us packets to work on kinda like home work. We did have some more crazier ppl but it wasn’t as bad. It’s just very very very boring
Thank you. Some people are talking about their negative experiences and talking about how the people in these TikTok’s seem to be fine, but in reality we still have a long way to go. I had a shit experience but I’m happy that you had a good one. Idk why that’s so hard to do
@@SummerR-gi8li exactly thank you for not being simple-minded like the others who have had negative experiences I am glad someone can see both sides of the spectrum too many people stigmatize people with mental health difficulties and say they are not struggling as much if not at all due to some of them having a home and a family or get sent to places that aren't the worst but I can also understand the awful side of things as well the world is very cruel when it comes to this but it doesn't need to be all black and white and a competition it is another reason why people are afraid to get help because they feel guilty enough as it is for being mentally ill while living better off in the first place the "i have it worse" mindset has to stop everyone is valid and deserving of help and love no matter their living situation so i really appreciate your comment i hope others see it so they won't feel awful for struggling despite their living and financial situation bless you
Not to gatekeep but I've never heard of a psych ward that allows cell phones. Maybe they're not in the US. Or maybe they're extremely rich in some type of exclusive facilities. Most psych wards are extremely strict and don't allow a lot of normal stuff. The first girl was wearing metal rings and had a phone, I wasn't even allowed to keep hair bows, hair gel, barrettes, none of my jewelry, or even my clothes until security searched my bag and allowed the "approved" garments in
maybe it’s just a canada thing but when i was in adolescent psych wards phones weren’t allowed, but i was recently in an adult psych ward and i was allowed my phone. i’m sure there are higher-security adult wards with more restrictions though
Although I may not know everything, you aren’t alone. If you ever need to vent, your RUclips family has got you. Please know that people would risk themselves for you and I would too. Take it from me or don’t, you can get through this and I’m so proud that you’re here right now. Maybe try an online ther apist, taking time for yourself, talking to someone, just please take care. I know you can do this. You’ve made it through so much, and you can always vent here if you need to. It’s okay to feel sad, but some feelings aren’t safe.
The first room I had at youth ward 2 years ago consisted of 3 beds, one table, one chair, one arm chair, 2 shelves, a radio, 4 closets, a mirror and a sink. I had a good time there and I had no roommates. I was at two wards in February and March, Adult's Mental Health/Drug ward and Mental Rehabilitation Ward. At the first ward, I had my own room. There were two beds but they took one away. There was a TV, two small tables, 3 chairs, 2 closets and a bathroom with a shower. We had normal doorhandles and bars and stuff. And at the other ward, everyone had their own rooms. My room had a bed, an arm chair, table and a chair, 2 closets and a side table. Again, I had good time... I lowkey miss the rehabilitation ward
Wait can you bring instruments to the psych ward? Like a violin or ukulele? Cuz I know you prob can’t bring a keyboard but I still wanna be able to play music-
My hospital had a music room with instruments. Violin and ukulele have strings you can hurt yourself with though, so you'd probably have to be supervised.
"Nurses checking in on us every few hours" Mine would literally come in our every 15 minutes and if it was night they would shine a flashlight at our faces
yall fr lucky that you got to be able to have your phones, the closest thing we had to electronics was us watching the tv in the window from the apartments across us... LMAO
My psych ward roommate and I were basically high one night and we climbed out furniture which reached to about the ceiling. Staff came in and couldn't find us until we started laughing our asses off
I’m just jealous they have windows that they can see out of. Our windows are always frosted . It makes me feel so claustrophobic! We had a tech who all The girls liked in the adult ward . Dude Looked exactly like Justin Timberlake . He was taking my vitals and I nonchalantly asked “so how often do people tell you you look like Justin Timberlake ?” The guys face went blank and heavily says “all the damn time .” I snorted .
My therapist knew jack shit about me and one of the first things she told my mom to do was put me in the hospital 😑 there wasnt anything even wrong with me i was just getting bullied at school and my mom would get mad at me for things i couldnt control
I relate to the cough and squat thing- I went to a mental hospital in fourth grade and that right there absolutely terrified me. I was like “nope I’m out”
i’m currently in a psych ward rn while watching this and honestly- they have it better than we do. all i hear at night is crazy people screaming, wailing, or even banging in the walls. yes there IS smth wrong with me but do they know any of that yet? nO.
Three years ago, I was taken into a psychiatric ward for the first 🥇 time. I was lost, hopeless😔, consumed by the idea of ending my life. Today I walk 👣 into a psychiatric ward as a student mental health nurse👩⚕️ for my first day 👨 of placement. Things change, they don't stay hard forever.
@@emmatindalthey don't just swing open the door hooting and hollering with their friends at the top of their lungs and shine blinding lights directly into your eyes?
im pretty fucked up mentally and im so glad i never got sent to a psych ward. that would have made it SO much worse as i hate being trapped. like, hate it really badly. id get worse instead of better
Psych wards seem so disturbing like who tf thought it would be a good idea to strip mentally ill people of everything they know and trap them in a boring white box with other mentally ill people. I feel like being confined against ur will and basically a prisoner could def make shit worse
EXACTLY?? Since I started watching psych ward videos I’ve always found that kind of issue. Shouldn’t people be more comfortable in the place they’re in to improve their mental health? A lot of these people made psych ward videos at home, still treating their own suicidal thoughts like a joke or thinking that their situation shouldn’t be taken seriously, which makes me think they were sent home in an unhealthy condition. But the descriptions of the psych wards here can’t make me blame them, most those places suck. I understand removing anything that could be dangerous or breakable, like laces, glass or phones, but sheesh, the amount of resources and competent staffs in there are definitely not enough, especially for the fact that most patients are teenagers.
@@SweetBabyBunny04 ayo thats messed up. what was the therapist like? Could you reason with him at all or was he like all the other ones who never listen
@@ivythealiencat he was nice, he told me I needed to socialize becuz ill get better that way. I told him that I have social anxiety and then he felt bad
@@SweetBabyBunny04 he does seem nicr but forcing some one to socalize can cause more harm than good. But he seems understanding so maybe telling him ur more comfortable on ur own will change his mind
i’m so scared of these places even though i’ve never been. my mom used to threaten sending me all the time but even though i know my mental state is absolutely terrible and causing me dysfunction i feel like being here would make me worse off
I'm so sorry your mom threatened you that way. There's definitely some scary parts, but most of it is just boring and kinda sucky. Ideally it's a place for you to go when you're in crisis, so you can take a break away from everything in your life that brought you to that point, and come out after a bit of a reset. Hopefully with a plan and a support network and continuity of care. It's not fun, but if you need it, it can be really helpful.
Man in my phsyce ward i wasnt allowed to have anything of my own but a book. I was lucky they let me have that. We couldnt have makeup, the nurses checked on us every 15 minutes when we slept, because of covid we couldnt even have visitors. It was not adhd friendly i had to sit in a chair all day and they took the markers bc someone drew a dick :( the food was terrible too
Must be difficult and embarrassing at night or day especially at night when your trying to have privacy in your room for anything you do these damn nurses gotta check up on you at a wrong time if you know what I mean🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️😧😬
when i first got there i had to have a nurse follow me 24/7, even when i was asleep. The they marked down where you were every 15 minutes till you left. It’s terrible when you have delusions about constantly being watched and followed, and then you’re actually being watched and followed
When I was in psych ward when I was in puberty many years ago, I could not have anything. None make-up, none phone, none anything. So I think when you can put your makeup on, or when u have your own phone, It's still good. Your rooms Are looking confortable then my room. I was in 1 room with 3 another womans And the room was clearly white And ofcourse blankets, pillows And one single table too. Everytime when I was in shower, the nurse must going with me everytime to controlling me.
I have trauma with fits/seizures and today during lunch one of the special kids faked one and I nearly cried. Now it's nearly 3AM in the morning and I'm still having little tremor episodes.
i am actually surprised they let them use their phones inside the psych ward? bc when I was in the psych ward my phone was taken from me bc I could not be in contact with the outside world...
Same, no phones/computers allowed was the rule in all psych wards I went to
Sounds more like jail to me..

As someone who works in psych ED and the mental health unit. We don't allow phones or jewelry and it's just a room and bathroom. These are really nice places that the videos are being shot at.
It depends on security levels atleast here in Sweden, worked at a high security man... that were fun. But at level three they are allowed to have phones.
REAL! I dont work at one or nuthin but ive been in an out of a few different ones and i got a bathroom with no door, a bed that was screwed to the ground, a coloring book and 10 crayola markers. I got roll on deodorant, no bra, no metal, and no shoes. No phones, and no contacting anybody (visit hours) Other than immediate family
mental health issues are just nutrition deficincies, 92 percent of the population doesnt even know about nutrition deficiencies. its on purpose so the heathcare industry can make billions and cure nothing and keep you sick. a preservitive free myers cocktail iv and preservitive free d3 injjection or iv will cure almost all health issues in about a week. you just do them once a month. chemical imbalance/trauma/genetic reasons for mental health issues a scam and a lie.
At least y'all get your own bathroom and don't have to share one with the whole ward, male and female, with no locks and easy view to the horrific shower
EXACTLY!!
“Bipolar aesthetic feels”
That sentence made me want to crawl out of my own skin
I've been in psych wards...
I wanna know what kind of psych wards exist that let people have phones and don't treat patients like prisoners and 3 year olds, because they seem so much better, because if you tried to bring your phone with you it was confiscated immediately and locked away until you left.

“Romanticizing” and “showing off” being in a psych ward like it’s cool makes me so angry. A lot of these places are so cushy. I don’t have rich parents to send me to a nice private psychiatric facility, I’ve been in and out of a few places that where like jail. You get stripped searched upon entering. No cell phones, no electronics, no makeup, nothing but your clothes that get all strings ripped and cut off before entering your unit. It’s hell, it’s embarrassing, it’s dehumanizing. Reeks of vomit and pee, homeless people everywhere, cold food that you normally eat warm that has no flavor and looks a lot like jail food. I was severely underweight and forced to drink warm ensure because I couldn’t eat their food. No doors, even when you need to shower and men and women are housed in the same units. Creepy dudes hitting on you. Same shank free toothbrushes, soap and toothpaste jail has that hardly clean you and you have to return these items after showering/brushing your teeth like your a child. Shower is cold water that you have to press a button every 15 seconds so you can keep the water going. People screaming constantly. Psychiatrists that visit you every day that obviously couldnt care less about you. These videos make me so angry. Mental illness is ugly, it’s not cute, fun or romantic.
I know.
Thank you. I can't stand girls that think being "crazy" is a quirky personality trait. It's hell dealing w mental illness and they act like they're at summer camp.
this was my experience too. shit is not fun, its exhausting and usually only makes things worse.
I thank god everyday that I don’t have to face what you face
that was my exact experience too
Your therapist isn't allowed to tell anyone anything they said..."looks around mental hospital"
Legit
yup, that’s why i’m afraid to actually say what’s going on, therapist has noticed, i’m doomed
It’s called a confidentiality breach, you should have been told about it. It’s means they can’t tell anyone anything you said unless they think it’s necessary to stop you from hurting yourself or others.
Correction, your therapist isn't allowed to tell anyone the things you say unless the things you tell them mark you as a threat to yourself or others in their eyes, in which case they are allowed to contact the proper authorities to get you help
Yall actually tell your therapists abt ur problems? I only rant abt conspiracy theroys for the whole hour
These are the nicest, fanciest and luxurious wards I've ever seen wtf. I'm going to my second one tomorrow wish me luck
Good luck
How was it?

You can’t romanticise psych wards, mental illness etc.. but I’m gonna take something different from this as someone who was in a psych ward with many years of bad mental health experience
It’s alright to look at this in a positive light, like how cozy these wards are, to make you feel welcome and safe. Yeah depression is bullshit and it’s ugly, but I’ve created stories poems and plenty of things from my morbid brain that sometimes it does seem almost beautiful.
Having depression and anxiety isn’t a cute or quirky trait, but being able to find comfort and adapting to find peace in the lowest of situations is a pretty attractive trait for me
Tbh I think you're onto something here. It makes them, ironically, more approachable to people who might actually need them, in a weird way
Yea it makes them more approachable tbh
You are very right. It’s always good to find ways to cope, but it definitely shouldn’t be romanticised, or quirky.
Totally agreed, I have anxiety too, maybe I wasn't in a psych ward but I created some nice art that would never be created without my illness.
Yeah! Like everyone’s saying “don’t romanticise mental hospitals” but i want to go to one bc of mental health, but i know it will be horrible, so I’m trying to romanticise it for myself if that makes sense? Not glorifying a horrible place but making it more bearable.
I'm curious as to how they managed to get their phones in there, from what I heard electronics ain't allowed- And I certainly couldn't have my phone-
that is true but some actually do let you keep your phones!
@@bigballerroro3927 Well I wish I was allowed to keep mine! Thanks for the info though
Well when I went inpatient I remember learning about different stages of mental hospitals. Like, I was only there for two weeks so they could get me on medication and see if it helped me or not (inpatient) but I do believe they let you have phone time If you’re residential which means you’re there for a month at the least. This might have only been the one I went to but it could apply to other places!
@@bigballerroro3927 private
@@lucid9300 What isn't real?
was at a psych ward 3 times in the past year. during my third visit the no phones rule changed across the district because many patients including myself at this particular hospital didnt give back our phones as protest. we would rather hold onto our dead phones than give it back to them. ppl made tiktoks about this revolution, it spread to other hospitals in the district. we stopped handing back our phones. couple days later theres talk from all the drs and nurses like "ok we are going to trial constant phones on the ward" lmao and now the no phones rule is completely abolished across psych wards here and i couldnt be prouder to have been part of that LOL
(im australian btw) most wards here had a "phone group" twice a day where you were in a room and ur electronics came out of a locked box. theyre lenient with what items ppl that have been inpatient for months can have access to, like wireless headphones and makeup, ipads and even laptops, but they had to be evaluated for their risk of having these items. these are usually schizophrenic people that aren't well enough to function in the world but are not suicidal so they pretty much live in hospital. dont get me wrong it was a pretty shit hospital and many patients easily snuck smokes and lit them on the outlets in their rooms prison style. most disturbing patient i saw was a rly aggressive guy withdrawing from ice, his clothes were cum covered and he wouldnt shower... he got relocated to a more intensive care inpatient unit. there has never been an incident of anyone taking or breaking another's phone or valuable property. you just have to be trusted. that being said we were all sick of being treated like kindergarteners like why tf does a nurse have authority over my freedom to speak to people i know when i want to? im too stubborn to be treated like that lol
Honestly In my opinion you shouldn't have ur phone. If I had my phone in rehab i wouodnt have gotten clean tbh.
It's not a hotel
I mean,,, proof that you all are addicted to the instant gratification of the internet and that you SHOULD, indeed, have given out your phones lmao but you do you
Just for a heads up psych centers are supposed to drive you a bit nuts on purpose so the docs can analyze you better. Otherwise if you have everything you want to make you happy like your phone, its just easier to hide your real self. Everyone that goes into a pysch center eventually tries to mastermind thier way out through good behavior and you learn absolutely nothing and dont get the help you need. Let loose when youre there. Its good to release those emotions. It may keep you there a bit longer which ill admit ive masterminded my way out as i call it but in the end the docs will have a better look at you and be able to help you in better ways that meet your needs
Ahhhh is that why? I’ve always wondered why the hell they thought this was a good idea. That makes sense.
Ooooooh.... No reason why kids were throwing buckets of markers at each other and screaming like it's the end of the world.... I'm going to one again tomorrow, wish me luck... (I've been to a psych ward, I'm going to a different one this time.)
I did not know this. Thank you for this information. This does make a lot of sense.
@@Sleepy_Spacethis is a question for when or if you're out but how was it?
Through only drugs. The second time taught me nothing even though I was loosing it. And the drugs they gave me barely worked. The only reason I got out was because of what a goddess taught me not the staff. They just wanted to restrain and booty juice me. They didn’t care when I might have broken my foot because I could still walk. All I “learned” from the staff was to numb everything when the hallucinations act up. I couldn’t cry, I couldn’t let anything out without quickly getting held down. I never even tried to hurt anyone and when I got overwhelmed they just held me down. It was because of them only a few months later I started developing my catatonic episodes. Because it’s better to be lost in a familiar hell than to have people hold you down for no reason. I still have nightmares and barely trust any doctors after that. My foot still has things pop out of place but I just pop them back and go about my day because why would doctors believe me when the psych ward that was supposed to help me only hurt me.
them: *stays in 5-star psych ward*
me: *stays in a psych ward that had pads instead of doors with a roommate that thinks she’s Tracy Chapman*
Pads for doors? I think the one I was in had something like that. They were huge grey foam boards things that were attached to the door frames to our bathrooms by two small velcro straps
Opener: so you had a fast car?
YEAH I HAD THOSE WEIRD PAD THINGS TOO
The one I was in had these huge fucking metal doors
The unit I was in had to rooms with doors and two with like pull doors. The two with the normal doors were the lockdown rooms.
The one person in the neon hat has a strip of LED around the room??? How is that allowed??? That’s a total hazard.
idk that much abt psych wards and stuff, but maybe they haven't been showing symptoms of whatever they have, or they just have some kind of disease that doesn't involve self harm, or yk eating it. but once again, i rlly don't know SO PLEASE NOBOBDY
@ ME
They’re in the UK, where stays are often like a month or longer- the psych wards there are pretty lenient with what you’re allowed to have in your room once you’ve stabilized a bit and are lower risk.
Is it a hazard because they can take them off and wrap them around their neck?

i'm literally shocked how nice some of these people's wards were. my psych ward was absolutely awful.
Mine wasn't the best, but it was okay. The worst parts about it had to be the stale smell of my dorm and the sticky/dirty floor. (+ the other obvious precautions the hospital needed to take) even the food was pretty decent. Better than the food I used to eat in public school, that's for sure
Im like painted walls and not wooden beds with a mat on top?
This...really isn't how psych wards actually are...at least the ones I've seen most having to deal with including myself.
I was lucky we at the very least had doors but we couldn't have phones or any electronics of any kind, I was forced into doing group sessions despite in my previous diagnosis having social anxiety, no bathrooms in our rooms and we had to ask to use the restroom which is always locked so if you don't find a nurse or doctor to unlock it you're screwed, horrible showers, honestly I was lucky I was at least allowed to bring books after some begging because I needed SOMETHING to do there.
And the nurses and doctors can just barge in your room whenever. I also got placed with someone who, I hate to say it but was in a really bad mental state. She had been there for 7 months and I don't know if she's left because I left before her but she would tell me ways I could hurt myself in there so I'm kinda worried a bit about her honestly. So those places aren't even fully safe anyways.
Also, they don't lock the doors on the bedrooms and all of us slept in the same building literally just meters from the other rooms. Any one of the ones that had anger issues or sexual problems easily could've done something.
y'all got MARKERS??
We got our marker privileges taken because we kept drinking the ink-
How the fuck do you do that?! The ink is disgusting-
😂😂 I'm sorry but that made me laugh. But how?
i once got pissed and chewed off EVERY marker tip i saw while no one was looking.
Same but someone sharpened the end on concrete and shanked someone :/
Glug glug bitch 😂
I’m very upset because I feel like a danger to myself I have not self harmed myself yet but I think about it so often I’ve become so close to cutting myself intentionally on many occasions but the only mental health hospital in my area looks like a prison. It’s dirty, patients have left horrible reviews saying the care there is horrible they barely attend you and I’m just sad. And like I have a therapist but for me it’s really hard to open up about things I’ve been depressed, issues at home, but never really any of this stuff and I’m just ready to burst in tears.
I’m sorry you are going through all that Corona Lisa. If you feel like you are a danger to yourself please call helplines in your country. I def understand where you are coming and you need to know that those thoughts and your actions are not a reflection of you it is a reflection the pain you’re brain is trying to process. I don’t know what your daily environment is but I hope it is safe and healthy. If there is someone you trust to confine these emotions to talk to them and let them be your support because you need it. If not try to look for outlets like art or journaling. Journaling is great to help recognize emotional patterns and self reflection. I cannot imagine the pain you are in and I pray that can learn to cope with this. We all experience this you are not alone in this.
Yeah, these kids probably didn’t go to a MH. And if they did, they probably went to the ones where you have to pay a 1,000-10,000 admission fee (idk what word to use). I also feel like there’s a lot of stereotypes in these type of videos. Either way, these videos are kinda shi++y.

The mental health department in my hospital was non-existent when I attempted suicide. i was forced into the child’s A&E department and kept in there. I was left in the waiting room for seven hours, passed out in the bathroom twice whilst throwing up consistently for hours, not given IV for dehydration or even any treatment to slow the effects of the overdose. Just an anti-sickness tablet which made me throw up more. And I got given a bed around midnight, after being there since 4pm. And it was an open room with four other beds, a child screaming down the hall, a girl across from me with NSSI issues and an eating disorder and no medical care around us whatsoever. Seven in the morning, saw the crisis team, and they told me that I would be fine back at home because i was not being sick anymore and with weekly therapy i would be fine. My dad took me home and that was it. Less than 24 hours in hospital at 14 years old for a suicide attempt. Their treatment towards me made me feel sick. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. Anyone with a psych ward or hospital room as nice as the ones in these videos are extremely lucky.
Things in my psych ward welcome basket that just make sense!

I'll never forget that one time in group where we have to choose random objects around the room and make up an advertisment to 'sell' it, and this one guy takes a plastic turtle and says it's "very durable", and then proceeds to chuck it at a wall to prove it. The funniest part is that he never got in trouble for doing so and just keep doing it to keep proving how good this turtle was and why we should buy it.
Edit: Also another thing- that was the only funny or good thing that happened when I was there, the rest of it was complete hell. The workers don't give two craps about how you are, all they care about is getting paid. I'm so glad I left that place :')
If people are in it for the money they need to get a new fucking job. The wellbeing and potentially lives of people are in their hands. This is why instatutions like this need to listen and adapt from what the people who need help would actually benefit from, it would improve the system a lot. Throwing together a random 'safe' room and isolating the people in their from the world is only going to make things worse. I myself have not been in, or worked at one of these hospitals. However, mental health and mental issues are something i have dealt with and struggled with most of my life, and I understand how difficult it is to improve your mental health without having trauma from places like this.
@@rosiesartsy Thank you, I honestly couldn't have said it better than you had. So many institutes nowadays are taking advantage of those with mental disorders or are completely regarding them as not even human and degrading them for something they can't control. Instead of trying to help them they only care about "doing their job", which isn't even helping these people out. I remember this one time at group where I had bursted into tears because the staff were being so disrespectful to everyone, and I remember them saying that their job was just to make us "better", but the way it was said was like we were some sort of disease. They didn't care if we were happy, they didn't care if the Institute/Themselves was making things worse, they just wanted the money.
That's the problem with these places.
The rules are fine because they are there to protect you, but the workers there are the absolute worse. It makes you wonder if they were actually trained or even qualified for the job or if they just hired random people to act as babysitters.
@@everybody1211 I am so sorry you had to go through that, There should definitely be a full training program that staff have to go through if there isn't already. Sometimes the people who know how to help best, are those who have been through it themselves. There should also be a choice of activities for people staying there to participate in, and the freedom to not participate if they do not wish to. Not all disorders/ conditions are helped in the same way, so in my opinion there should be different schedules and plans for each person/ group. That they, themselves can have some involvement in selecting. This is just some of many things that I think need improving. These places need to stop being places people fear or hate, and start being comforting and helpful like they are supposed to be.
That last one was great😂

Some times they do normally they dont since they want the patincent to relax and focus on themselves also it can be overwhelming to people
As someone who has both been a patient in a mental health facility and a mental health nurse, this is too accurate! 😂
None of the wards I have ever been in were like this, even at the ones I was in for longer periods of time. Seeing people allowed to have phones is really strange, I didn’t even know inpatient treatments that let you have phones existed…
In my psych ward in California it was kinda small and simple everyone was really nice and group therapy was good, we weren’t allowed phones, shoe laces literally anything that can be a danger or “weapon” to us, we were only allowed to be on the phone 10 minutes however we were allowed to call as many times as we wanted until group therapy started, we had outside time for an hour twice a day and for our meals it was probably everyone’s favorite since we got little menus and got to circle whatever they had, we had crayons and pencils but they had to sharpen them and they gave us packets to work on kinda like home work. We did have some more crazier ppl but it wasn’t as bad. It’s just very very very boring
Thank you. Some people are talking about their negative experiences and talking about how the people in these TikTok’s seem to be fine, but in reality we still have a long way to go. I had a shit experience but I’m happy that you had a good one. Idk why that’s so hard to do
@@SummerR-gi8li exactly thank you for not being simple-minded like the others who have had negative experiences I am glad someone can see both sides of the spectrum too many people stigmatize people with mental health difficulties and say they are not struggling as much if not at all due to some of them having a home and a family or get sent to places that aren't the worst but I can also understand the awful side of things as well the world is very cruel when it comes to this but it doesn't need to be all black and white and a competition it is another reason why people are afraid to get help because they feel guilty enough as it is for being mentally ill while living better off in the first place the "i have it worse" mindset has to stop everyone is valid and deserving of help and love no matter their living situation so i really appreciate your comment i hope others see it so they won't feel awful for struggling despite their living and financial situation bless you
Not to gatekeep but I've never heard of a psych ward that allows cell phones. Maybe they're not in the US. Or maybe they're extremely rich in some type of exclusive facilities. Most psych wards are extremely strict and don't allow a lot of normal stuff. The first girl was wearing metal rings and had a phone, I wasn't even allowed to keep hair bows, hair gel, barrettes, none of my jewelry, or even my clothes until security searched my bag and allowed the "approved" garments in
I know many wards in the UK allow phones. The US seems to be more restrictive but maybe the better run/more expensive ones allow phones as well
i’m in a psych ward in the uk, and we are allowed our phones. i use my ipad to draw and communicate in here
maybe it’s just a canada thing but when i was in adolescent psych wards phones weren’t allowed, but i was recently in an adult psych ward and i was allowed my phone. i’m sure there are higher-security adult wards with more restrictions though
Although I may not know everything, you aren’t alone. If you ever need to vent, your RUclips family has got you. Please know that people would risk themselves for you and I would too. Take it from me or don’t, you can get through this and I’m so proud that you’re here right now. Maybe try an online ther apist, taking time for yourself, talking to someone, just please take care. I know you can do this. You’ve made it through so much, and you can always vent here if you need to. It’s okay to feel sad, but some feelings aren’t safe.
That moment when you search up someone you stayed in a hospital with has been missing for 8 months, yeah, shits wild.
these trigger me but im so addicted to them
Welcome to the internet where you can now literally spend/waste your time watching the mentally ill vlog about their psych ward experiences…
2:38 yasss pride flags on that girl wall 🤪
Yesss
AWEE YES

The first room I had at youth ward 2 years ago consisted of 3 beds, one table, one chair, one arm chair, 2 shelves, a radio, 4 closets, a mirror and a sink. I had a good time there and I had no roommates.
I was at two wards in February and March, Adult's Mental Health/Drug ward and Mental Rehabilitation Ward. At the first ward, I had my own room. There were two beds but they took one away. There was a TV, two small tables, 3 chairs, 2 closets and a bathroom with a shower. We had normal doorhandles and bars and stuff. And at the other ward, everyone had their own rooms. My room had a bed, an arm chair, table and a chair, 2 closets and a side table. Again, I had good time... I lowkey miss the rehabilitation ward
thats a nice ward, i wish mine was like that :(. but im glad you had good wards! I hope you're doing better now
Wait can you bring instruments to the psych ward? Like a violin or ukulele? Cuz I know you prob can’t bring a keyboard but I still wanna be able to play music-
My hospital had a music room with instruments. Violin and ukulele have strings you can hurt yourself with though, so you'd probably have to be supervised.
Depending on the hospital. One place that I was at said that I could bring my trombone in as a form of a coping skill.
The one I went to didn't let us have them
Why tf would u want to go to a psych ward?
@@sweetlikecinnamon5951 I don’t. My parents have been talking about it and I’m scared and I have so many unanswered questions.
"Nurses checking in on us every few hours"
Mine would literally come in our every 15 minutes and if it was night they would shine a flashlight at our faces
yall fr lucky that you got to be able to have your phones, the closest thing we had to electronics was us watching the tv in the window from the apartments across us... LMAO
Me if I was in ward: -somehow sings señorita from memory-
-later-
Me: -chills while on window seal-
Do you mean windowsill or what
My psych ward roommate and I were basically high one night and we climbed out furniture which reached to about the ceiling. Staff came in and couldn't find us until we started laughing our asses off
I have some pretty great stories from the psych ward lmao
@@gymnastic_queen6711 same. i feel weird saying this but I honestly had some of the best times of my life at the pych ward-
@@StrangerThings-kt8so for real
I laughed way to hard at this 6:45
edit: oooooo ty for the likes ;D I am just your fellow bipolar trash
Same
@@lolathebunny6735 yup they were trying to give me neosporin on a cut little did they know that I A M A L L E R G I C
Lmao i have adhd and cant have a drug that people use to fall asleep and when I take it … shits gonna hit the fan
I’m just jealous they have windows that they can see out of. Our windows are always frosted . It makes me feel so claustrophobic! We had a tech who all
The girls liked in the adult ward . Dude Looked exactly like Justin Timberlake . He was taking my vitals and I nonchalantly asked “so how often do people tell you you look like Justin Timberlake ?” The guys face went blank and heavily says “all the damn time .” I snorted .
These were 5 star hotels compared to the facilities I've been to 😂
My therapist knew jack shit about me and one of the first things she told my mom to do was put me in the hospital 😑 there wasnt anything even wrong with me i was just getting bullied at school and my mom would get mad at me for things i couldnt control
I worked a psych ward as an orderly, a couple of these kids nailed it to the wall!
What was it like
I relate to the cough and squat thing- I went to a mental hospital in fourth grade and that right there absolutely terrified me. I was like “nope I’m out”
watching this while in the ward is a mood
i’m currently in a psych ward rn while watching this and honestly- they have it better than we do. all i hear at night is crazy people screaming, wailing, or even banging in the walls. yes there IS smth wrong with me but do they know any of that yet? nO.
Well atleast you have your phone..?
@@limenaidpunch7331 it’s still shit bc whenever i’m on it a lot they think i’m texting someone to come get me or whatever 🙄
@@satan3687 yeah, I didn’t mean to say that it doesn’t suck
@@satan3687
Are they paranoid that someone could come get you-? That's weird tbh.
@@BloodInTheStrawberries yeah they are 🙄 apparently- but my phone is about to be taken away sooo 😘
Bro that girl saying, "Want to play trash?" brought back some memories.
I see a lot of people talking about romanticizing psych wards, but I see this as mostly harmless and just making the most out of a bad situation.
Why are these better than most TikTok POVs I watch
Bro what?!? I couldn’t even use a phone or book in my psych ward wth
I remember the last time I was honest with my therapist yeah now I cant keep a therapist for even two months
Three years ago, I was taken into a psychiatric ward for the first 🥇 time. I was lost, hopeless😔, consumed by the idea of ending my life. Today I walk 👣 into a psychiatric ward as a student mental health nurse👩⚕️ for my first day 👨 of placement. Things change, they don't stay hard forever.
Hopefully you can use your experience to help other and I'm proud of you for doing well
Also what do they mean by “blinds so the nurse can do rounds”?
they come to check on you and make sure youre not dead
glad you don’t know..
@@rifIedoII They didn't mean it in a dirty way lmao
So they can look in your room without opening the door
@@emmatindalthey don't just swing open the door hooting and hollering with their friends at the top of their lungs and shine blinding lights directly into your eyes?
6:06 The "You Promise?" Was actually so funny 😂😂
My therapist is getting worried about me so I'm watching these just in case i need to be prepared ✊️😙
Edit: My worries were justified
The anti suffoacation blankets were nightmares also YALL WE"RE ALOUD UR PHONES???? I WASNTTT EVERY TIME I HAVE BEEN I HAVENT
These places are so luxurious. 😭
im pretty fucked up mentally and im so glad i never got sent to a psych ward. that would have made it SO much worse as i hate being trapped. like, hate it really badly. id get worse instead of better
@SOMO REVIEW can you actually shut up and go away? I’m pretty sure they know what’s best for them 😀
well, me 4 months ago, we did it. finally after 3 years, we are getting better
Psych wards seem so disturbing like who tf thought it would be a good idea to strip mentally ill people of everything they know and trap them in a boring white box with other mentally ill people. I feel like being confined against ur will and basically a prisoner could def make shit worse
EXACTLY?? Since I started watching psych ward videos I’ve always found that kind of issue. Shouldn’t people be more comfortable in the place they’re in to improve their mental health? A lot of these people made psych ward videos at home, still treating their own suicidal thoughts like a joke or thinking that their situation shouldn’t be taken seriously, which makes me think they were sent home in an unhealthy condition. But the descriptions of the psych wards here can’t make me blame them, most those places suck. I understand removing anything that could be dangerous or breakable, like laces, glass or phones, but sheesh, the amount of resources and competent staffs in there are definitely not enough, especially for the fact that most patients are teenagers.
This is why I’m terrified to open up with my therapist I don’t wanna end up there :(
I ran away during an episode and got caught within 5 mins and brought back 💀😭
If anybody needs to vent I'm always free to listen
Them: *can have their phone in a psychward*
Me: *was forced to socialize and talk to everyone in my psychward, no phone*
Just rebel. Do what i do and never talk. Ever
@@ivythealiencat i tried that and they locked me in a room with a therapy dude, becuz there was an "issue" all becuz I didn't talk to anyone for a day
@@SweetBabyBunny04 ayo thats messed up. what was the therapist like? Could you reason with him at all or was he like all the other ones who never listen
@@ivythealiencat he was nice, he told me I needed to socialize becuz ill get better that way. I told him that I have social anxiety and then he felt bad
@@SweetBabyBunny04 he does seem nicr but forcing some one to socalize can cause more harm than good. But he seems understanding so maybe telling him ur more comfortable on ur own will change his mind
i’m so scared of these places even though i’ve never been. my mom used to threaten sending me all the time but even though i know my mental state is absolutely terrible and causing me dysfunction i feel like being here would make me worse off
I'm so sorry your mom threatened you that way. There's definitely some scary parts, but most of it is just boring and kinda sucky. Ideally it's a place for you to go when you're in crisis, so you can take a break away from everything in your life that brought you to that point, and come out after a bit of a reset. Hopefully with a plan and a support network and continuity of care. It's not fun, but if you need it, it can be really helpful.
this tiktok trend is so bittersweet to me, like even the fact that it's a "trend" idk it just doesn't seem right
I DIED WHEN I BEARD LINE WITJOUT A HOOK IN THE BACKGROUND SJSJSJDJ
Oh my god this is so accurate (spent 10 months in 2 hell hole facilities) ❤
Imma be honesty with you.. this shit hits home 🥰😘
Man in my phsyce ward i wasnt allowed to have anything of my own but a book. I was lucky they let me have that. We couldnt have makeup, the nurses checked on us every 15 minutes when we slept, because of covid we couldnt even have visitors. It was not adhd friendly i had to sit in a chair all day and they took the markers bc someone drew a dick :( the food was terrible too
same
The one near the begining caught me so off gaurd after the "Exit sign outside my window so they know I know I can't leave"
the door handles and shower knobs are like that so you can’t harm yourself for the people who don’t know
Bruh I’m jealous of the people who were able to have their PHONES in the psych ward.
Must be difficult and embarrassing at night or day especially at night when your trying to have privacy in your room for anything you do these damn nurses gotta check up on you at a wrong time if you know what I mean🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️😧😬
what kinda psych wards y'all goin to 😭
when i first got there i had to have a nurse follow me 24/7, even when i was asleep. The they marked down where you were every 15 minutes till you left. It’s terrible when you have delusions about constantly being watched and followed, and then you’re actually being watched and followed
When I was in psych ward when I was in puberty many years ago, I could not have anything. None make-up, none phone, none anything. So I think when you can put your makeup on, or when u have your own phone, It's still good. Your rooms Are looking confortable then my room. I was in 1 room with 3 another womans And the room was clearly white And ofcourse blankets, pillows And one single table too. Everytime when I was in shower, the nurse must going with me everytime to controlling me.
I have trauma with fits/seizures and today during lunch one of the special kids faked one and I nearly cried. Now it's nearly 3AM in the morning and I'm still having little tremor episodes.
