that actually sounds like a lot of places i've been. the good old nut hut. also have done partial hospitalization. the first place i went was for children, i was 11. this fat BIPOC who basically just got paid to babysit told us "you kids come here and you always come back." i've never forgotten how fucked up that was and how sad it made me. that was the worst place i went to, some really disturbing shit happened there. and i know all about the forced meds, that's all they want. you have maybe 3 group sessions a day then the rest of the time you're just sitting around waiting to talk to the doctor. last time i was there was in 2015, i realized it was a mistake and wanted to leave AMA. the doctor said "well if you do that im just going to make you stay here longer" i guess by saying i'm at risk and can't make decisions lol. it was over 1k a day to do nothing, thank god i had good insurance back then. seems like they just wanna keep you there as long as possible to collect more money. it's a racket. i wish i never took meds at all or wasted time at so called hospitals. i really admire that you decided not to go that route, based af. you seem like a genuinely caring, funny, upbeat person and being around all that would certainly take a toll on you. glad you found something else and we still have the geezerpleaser we know today.
hat was the worst place i went to, some really disturbing shit happened there. and i know all about the forced meds, that's all they want. you have maybe 3 group sessions a day then the rest of the time you're just sitting around waiting to talk to the doctor.
exactly the same shit happened there with some useless group therapy's and senior retirement home-like activities with group dinner etc
worst part was when it was time to move back home again, most didn't last for three days or more because they were used to being institutionalized
most disturbing time I have experienced in my life and the people who work there come with good intention but stay only for the monthly paycheck and make speed up time by making the work as easy as possible for them selfs
I'm glad that you came out of that system not completely mentally broken like most people who experienced that, because most just don't get out and get stuck in that toxic charlatan institute , especially if you go there at a young age
most times even the food is like a retirement home, or jail. i was detoxing off opiates so they said i was a fall risk and wouldn't let me go to the cafeteria or even make a request, it was total ass. so many people were just lingering there until they could get into residential treatment. i've always felt like what's the point of that or places like sober-living houses, especially when they stay there for years. you gotta learn to exist and function in the real world. a handful of staff seemed to care and were nice to talk to, after a while tho they gotta be burnt out. i'm just blessed to have supportive, understanding parents who've come around themselves. otherwise i could've ended up in a tommy situation lol.
