I, myself, just got out of a Psych ward for 5 days for "feeling like harming myself" I totally understand where you are coming from. Some of the nurses really did seem to care the rest acted as if they could care less and thought it was funny when one of the patients was having a bipolar outburst, the nurse actually had the balls to LAUGH in front of everyone at this patient. My heart goes out to you and Im sorry you had to go through this. Some people dont realize how hard it is to open up to others especially when the people dont have any mental illnesses themselves. Just because you went to school and learned about it and read some books doesnt mean you know how it feels. Its devastating at times. Again, sorry you had such a rough time.
