[quote:Anonymous Coward 76984449:MV80MTExODQ3Xzc0NjEzNjA2XzI5RUExQ0NC] [quote:My Fear:MV80MTExODQ3Xzc0NjEzNTM2XzgxRjE1MQ==] [quote:Light of my Little Left Eye:MV80MTExODQ3Xzc0NjA4ODIzXzhCNDkwOTdE] Anyone curious what a psych ward is like? Ask away [/quote] Already know... boring as sh*t. There is always a nurse Rackett like the "One that Flew Over the COO COO's Nest." The staff treats you like you are 6 years old again. Can't lock any restroom doors, can't go outside alone in the courtyard. The smokers are in hell because they can't smoke. You can't stay up to watch TV with even the limited programming offered. Can't have an evening snack beside a few crackers. Can't use the phone for more than 10 minutes at a scheduled time. The food is bland. And the staff keeps getting you up early in the morning and sending you off to classes throughout the day that are just stupid when you rather be sleeping. So then you spend your time working on puzzles, trying to avoid the people that don't want to take a shower because they smell so bad. The only excitement is watching people who think they are Jesus, v the people that think they are Satan. Yes, a week of that is enough to prevent you from wanting to commit suicide. Life after that is far worse for a long time. Plus your family is constantly asking you if you took your meds today and whispering behind your back. Yah... overdose...don't do it. Mental hospitals are worthless facilities that are a huge waste of your time and expense. You are much better off, keeping a regular daily schedule, working out, eating right, and getting enough rest every day. Quite the crappy job two and dump the jerk that is messing with your heart too. Life is too short to be unhappy. [/quote] So true. Get out and walk in nature also. [/quote]

I took a bunch of psych meds, one combination which in the quantity I took it had a 90% chance of putting me in cardiac arrest. I was in the icu for 36 hours. Why did I do it?
The week I spent afterwards in the psych ward was pretty much like going to purgatory after you die. Hell that place is purgatory.
