Three things that make me never want to go back are
that I can’t control the food they give me, I’m very picky about food.
they take away our phones. I can’t live without my phone.
They treat us like prisoners and I haven’t done anything wrong. They strip me of all my dignities and make me feel worse than I felt before I went in there.
They’re both true. The one on the left is where they put you if you’re deemed a self risk. Usually if they catch you mid suicide attempt. That or a risk to others. I wish it was padded. It’s just a cement box with a mattress. They leave the door open, though.
I spent the first part of a visit strapped down and they would only let me loose after 12 hours or if I slept. But since this was right after being admitted, I was also a danger to myself and others so they put me in a fully lit room with a surveillance camera. I only fell asleep out of boredom.
It’s true, though! I would crawl out of my room and listen to the guards’ music/ what they were talking about. If they closed that door, I think I would’ve gone more insane.
