Once at age 26 ( now 44) and 3 times in 2011 .. Probably should have been a few more times in 2011 but Im compleltly honest and open with my therapist and each time I went in it was my request so he knows if I ask for it then things are that bad .. altho Im certain since I see him once a week if I started acting compleltly differant he would be all over me trying to find out whats going on.
At this point I look at trips to the psych ward as last resort for me .. I have gone to the same place the 3 times in 2011 its the same ole same ole they lump together bipolar schizo and people detoxing in the same wing... so Each time I went I would learn where to buy the best meth , coke pot etc ... lucky for me I dont have addiction issues and i found it bothersome that the mental health techs let that kinda talk go on as much as they did ... I asked my nurse about it once she said " it seems to help the drug addicts to talk about where they went for the drugs" Ummmm okayyyyyyyyyyyy???? anyhow .. My goal for this year is to stay outta the psych ward
