in the psych ward no one sees consequences.
did the staff provide a scrabble set without a dictionary? if they did, then i'd say it proves your point
No I think though my memory is foggy around these hospitalizations that I was super fried on medication and I had made a comment about the person I was playing against not having an arm, which they didn't and I think maybe I said something I had apparently previously said but couldn't remember at the time and they went berzerk. I do remember how I got drugged though lol, I freaked out and grabbed a pen and was holding it like a knife lol. Anyway thats not what you want to do in a psych ward. Though I see where they were coming from, they could have asked me to put it down and I probably would have, I don't handle violent situations well and I would rather stabbed someone with a pen then get beat with a scrabble board.
I hate psych wards and just thinking about it, it seems they have done far more damage to me then I would have done to myself alone. I just need to be left alone for a while in most cases, I am not saying I don't deserve it but I am deeply hurt at the general way they have treated me. If they would just listen to what I have say I think they would find I am not that unreasonable. I have been suicidal but I don't feel every time they forced me into one of those places was justified.
I got arrested at a group home, evicted and spent two months locked up all because I told a therapist that she had crappy advice, told her I was going home and I didn't care what writes about me and left her office. I never once threated myself or anyone else but she wrote down that I was going to kill a family member and then myself simply because of something I had told her two months earlier that wasn't even that bad. How in the hell is that fair? No wonder I hate the mental health system. I told them I just wanted to go to work but somehow I was suicidal, why would I do an 8 shift just to kill myself? Still I guess I shouldn't hold bitterness towards these people, I have done people wrong too but I just wish people would ask me how I feel before just deeming that I am nuts.
