I had stuff stolen by other patients even when they were in lockers.

But the worst part was when the staff stole or misplaced stuff.

I "lost" literally ALL of my makeup just by switching floors. That's >$100 worth of makeup (I have no idea how much it actually cost... I accumulated a lot of stuff lol). I also lost a SINGLE BOOT. We have the other boot. I'm just missing the one. And they lost my henna (which was given to me by another patient and is actually difficult to get). And they lost a shirt.

(This story is long, but it's worth hearing imo.)
The other thing is that because I was being treated for an eating disorder but was on the mood disorders floor (basically on the wrong floor, but that's another story), the dietician had to provide me with snacks so that I could get the right nutritional intake (because basically they assumed everyone was obese and needed to cut down, so the meals were small).
They made me leave the snacks in the nurse's station, which was weird, because we had a kitchen with a pantry...

You guessed it. The @$$hole staff STOLE FOOD FROM AN EATING DISORDER PATIENT.

If I were in a normal hospital for leukemia, and the nurses were stealing my painkillers, they would be fired. They would go to jail. But stealing food from an anorexic girl? Perfectly fine apparently.
