When i was in the MAU basically a psych ward but for youth they had just a metal sink, clock mounted high up, tv and bed with a camera watching me 24/7
This guy scares me genuinely.
don't forget the abuse from staff and permanent loss of respect from your friends and family
i just discharged less than a week ago… i don't need this rn 😭
I think the blind dials are instead of cords to avoid people strangling themselves with it
(Sorry I’m really late) I went to a physc ward and I grow hair super fast and am very self conscious of it and 1 of my nurses said I could shave my arms and legs only if she’s watching and then I give it back to her after. I’m so grateful for you Nurse Hannah ❤ (she also brought me cupcakes on my first night to help me feel more comfortable)
sometimes i wonder if i need therapy 👍
I would still try to throw the chair
To whom may need this: I'm very proud of you, you've come so far. Keep it up! You are an amazing human and I love you❤
This psych ward is nicer than some of my experiences. Coloring books would have been nice. Diversions were truly absent. The only thing I got was, sadly, a barren room and drugs and a few groups if I was lucky. Once in a while, there was Security who beat a patient. That was very scary, honestly. Some hospitals were treating people who were on prison ankle bracelets. In that case, I truly understand why a more reasonable patient may stress out.
you could c-t urself with the coloring books tho, like a paperc-t :3
Don't forget the bendy toothbrush.
“Gifts from your friends if you have friends” that was deep
The worst part is no one visiting
He said, "if you have friends"……. 😂😂
All my friends went to a psych ward and i was the only friend in the group didnt go and they didnt want me to go and they didn't want me to experience it until one day I got force there by a cop and now i can relate to them and know how it feel being there
I would still find a way to do something
Many behavioral health PTs Do have friends. Low blow buddy. I donate items to our free county run detox/ mental health facility. You can look up your local one as most areas have one. It may be listed as county behavioral health too. They take specific donations that are always needed. Call and find out what is allowed first. I was upset when my friend was inpatient there and I brought her some things she asked for and found out just how little they are given in there. It is a great facility but does the best they can with very little. If you find out what is allowed to donate hit up your dollar store and make someone's day a little brighter. They also always need clothes, used are fine. The pts may only have the outfit they had on when admitted , and that may not be appropriate. They may be staying a long time with nobody they can get help from. And YES mental health pts often do have friends! The public facilities often house the homeless and they may Not have anyone. It's very sad and I know they would appreciate a little gift. They do without items in there I would consider necessity.😢 Sorry this is so long but I feel very strongly this is a good way to help thoes trying to improve their situation in a healthy manner.
Someone actually picked up one of the chairs and threw it across the room. He got booty juiced
Him: where we’re you
Me: would you believe me if I said there was traffic
Him: don’t tell me your scared of doctors
Me: no am not am only scared of the doctor talking to me
Based on the comments I'm guessing a lot of these are American psych ward experiences. I've been twice in Canada and we did have access to razors, I mean you couldn't keep them with you or anything but if you went to the office and asked for one they've give you one to shower (depending on how suicidal you were they might limit it). The heavy chair thing never made sense to me until I checked myself in the first time and then I realized that a lot of the people in there were A) old or B) some sort of drug addict and then it made more sense but as a 6'2" roughly 300 lbs mid 20s male if I wanted to launch that chair the weight wasn't going to stop me but I wasn't the type to lash out at others just silently self destruct. The metal plates behind rails solves 2 problems which is the whole tying things problem but it also prevents a resident who might be going through some shit from preventing them from grabbing onto it to avoid being restrained or being able to grab on to it and pull it off the wall. We had blinds that just lid open and closed so no knobs or strings. As far as I noticed we all had electricity in our outlets but there was a rule that you couldn't have a cellphone, tablet, or laptop so there wasn't much need and this rule was for privacy reasons, it can be a very personal experience going through the psyche ward last thing you'd want is someone taking a picture of you and posting it on facebook so everyone in town knows you're going through some shit.. Those colouring books though I guess those are universal cause they had a ton of them there.
I developed abandonment issues after being forced to go.
The first time I ever went to a psych ward, they have these super heavy chairs, and I picked it up to see if I could and I could. It was super easy and I was super weak and some of these people went to the gym like four days a week and if I could pick it up and throw it, they certainly could and that would hurt like hell. at the second, though they have these like super weak chairs that were like made out of the cheapest plastic ever which wouldn’t hurt if they were thrown so yeah
The call help buttons didn’t work at the one I went to they didn’t work I tried it didn’t work
Injust saw part 1 5 secs ago
Welcome to the psych ward! A place where we trap you away from everyone and everything and expect you to be happy when you get out in the next two weeks 😊
How the hell did she get a phone 😭
This isn't "stealing" content because he is adding meaningful commentary to the video, but please credit creators
I think its funny he just skimmed over the toothpaste😂
Even heavy chairs can be thrown. Had a heavy table thrown at me when I worked at the Monroe County Mental Health, in Monroe County Michigan.
I'll say it once again, this video just shows me a massive disconnect between the patient and the doctor.
The doctor sees all the safety, yet the doctor doesn't think about how all of this can make said mentally ill person feel even more unstable, due to it feeling like a literal prison.
The patient ultimately leaves feeling like there is no help left for them. Now they don't even feel like they can talk openly about their mental state without being literally locked away against their will. The patient then bottles up their mental, which naturally only causes them to get to a worst state than when they started.
It's of course important to make sure patients are safe, but when you literally force them into care, it is a prison, and it is counter-productive.
the smiling and the shilling for socks last time as the comments are flooded w people who have actually been in psych wards and it fucked them up.. waow
Anyone agree that any hospital socks are the most comfortable socks and just make u feel good
If there was a phyc ward near me in Tassie, I would be putting myself in it.
The worst is NO deodorant — so you don't poison yourself
I dont get this and i never will ❤
The "if u have friends" was darker than my eyes
Where is this person staying that theyre allowed to have their phone??
Part 3
Doctors sedating you for no freaking reason
Blood in the bars of the stairs
Doctors lying to you that you'll get therapy but never do
We had a leaky soap dispenser in our bathroom. Had a nice 2 ft diameter circle of soap on the floor…
The psych wards I was in had no blinds and no motivational quotes. I do remember the heavy chairs though. The problem is that some patients are strong enough to pick them up. One person suggested that rather than being made super heavy, they should be made super light.
Edit: I'm seeing a lot of people talking about how horrible the staff are. I was lucky enough to be in some very good psych wards, but some of the staff were really just awful. I encountered a lot of situations where staff would deliberately make things ridiculously difficult for me, then say that the fact that I was unable to accomplish certain tasks meant that I needed to be in there.
Man, you're lucky if you got a windows. All of the psych hospitals that I went into you could not see out of the unit
I went to a psych ward where all the chair were filled with sand and weighed 40 lbs so we joked “it’s all fun and games til someone’s strong enough to throw that and does some real damage”
“Im fine but the rest of you need therapy” would make me sad😥
Thankfully i was in a type of psychiatric hospital where people aren't that dangerous to themselves or others (i was there just because they can find and try good meds for me more quickly. I wasn't that depressed anymore but still too tired and numb to function properly) so we could have some things like cables to charge our smartphones in our rooms. I still wasn't feeling good there because being outside my home with strangers is really bad for me but some patients were saying they feel like on vacations and it was helping them more
Grippy Sock Jail!
😂😂😂
Knew somebody that was in the hospital from time to time. No drawstring for hoodies or sweatpants. No shoe laces either. Also decaf coffee.
Um fine vut the rest of you need therapy is fucking brilliant
