I was in a psych ward for 2 weeks. It was horrible. There was one patient who would sexually abuse nurses and patients including myself. He was so delirious. He would come up to me and put his arms around me and block me from the door. I felt very uncomfortable around him, but the nurses didnt do anything despite his behavior. I now hate those places and feel just the same as you do about them. They are unsafe and scary. The people who came out of ECT treatment scared me too because they couldnt remember their own name for a while. The nurses threatened to force ECT on me after I was having horrible depression and hallucinations. I had a panic attack and they put me in a solitary room for hours. The experience was overall horrible and borderline traumatic. I'm sorry yours wasnt any better. Just try and NOT end up in there again... I know I'll refuse to
