I have never had a traumatic experience in the hospital and the only time I was restrained was a valid reason. I was hitting my family, the nurses and then, when confronted, the doctor. It doesn't matter though, how I was treated, I have never been able to be admitted voluntarily because the loss of control on the ward triggers my PTSD.

It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence, to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations. They presented him the words: "And this, too, shall pass away." How much it expresses! How chastening in the hour of pride! How consoling in the depths of affliction!
