Reply to comment by ISawWendiGo in I found a journal in an abandoned psych ward. I think it might be telling the truth. by killerfuzzball7

Thank you. It was honestly pretty traumatic & detrimental to my mental health being there that long. I was angry & cussed at the doctors so they put me in the unit with the violent schizophrenic even tho I'm not schizophrenic. Not violent either I was having a reaction to meds that made me irate & I was also not happy about the IVC. It's been a month or so. I'm trying to heal from it. Thanks for asking

Edit to add: but BOY do I have some stories from that unit. From the guy who believed he was God himself, the woman I hung out with that insisted we pray for the souks of the possessed patients, the fiat fights, it goes on and on 😅

Also had a shit experience in a psych ward. The staff were soulless and treated us like burdens. Horrible stuff.

I relate. My experience was traumatic too and being held longer than needed was agonizing. It certainly gave me some stories though.
