I got sectioned in 2021 because I couldn’t cope with the idea of needing to transition and figured I’d be jettisoned from every group who accepted me. It turned out not to be true and I felt like a fucking idiot. The experience…was quite wild though. Share your stories and I’ll reply with mine.
I have, but for mental illness. Shit was ass the ward was over capacity so i got stuck in a empty room with 4 detoxing addict moids where I had to wait and they wouldn’t give me my medications, so i got even worse. Eventually, after a couple days actually met with a doctor and convinced them this was way worse for me than being at home. Also, hated that I wasn’t allowed to leave, prison might have been better because at least they can go outside sometimes
Also, PMO that i got sent to the shit underfunded pysch ward instead of the actually nice ones my sibling got sent to. Or maybe it was the same one and they just treated me like shit because I was a man on estrogen.
That’s rough and sadly a typical disgusting behavior from psychiatrists from what I’ve seen :( glad you survived the moids.
The doc at my ward was weird and had a strange cadence. He’d just manifest behind you randomly like Mr boss from smiling friends and ask for a moment of your time, same wording every time. He didn’t address what actually bugged me which was whether I was dysphoric or not (by the end of my stay id decided to live and transition) and I got a rap sheet full of weird dx’s after my stay. Waste of time
I was sent in psychward from military enlistment office after I tried to kill myself. It was pretty boring — no internet, no phones. I read a few books and did crosswords, but otherwise just rotted in bed, slept and looked outside the window for hours. Psychiatrists were all useless, though. I met mine 4 times, all below 10 minutes and the last one was him diagnosing me and sending home.
The most bizzare thing were group meetings, where we — inpatients — sat in the circle and did some dumb shit like clapping one after another under the directions of the psychologist. I don’t know what that was supposed to do.
We has group circles too, where we’d share shit. I was “lucky” enough to be put in the adolescent ward at 18, so it was more chill than the rest of the place but not by any means paradise. They wouldn’t let us clap they did the finger snap which is such a cringey theyfab coded thing. I dodged the groups as much as possible because I hate talking about myself to people I don’t know…or listening to them
