during group therapy which we had 3 times a day they would force u to talk about why u were there. one girl said she was raped and they insinuated that she deserved it because of how she was dressing. i had my first psychotic break there. thats when the voices started. when i told a staff in private that i was hearing voices....the next day in group she told the rest of the group that i was psychotic. i didnt want them to know because i thought it was embarassing. there was no privacy there. u slept with the lights on. everything was timed. if u go over time u had a consequence like doing army style exercises for every second u went over time. u showered together sh_t together slept together ate together. if u were late to the cafeteria u had to eat ont he sidewalk outside on paper napkins. no plates. everything was punishable. i could write for hours about that place. i honestly cant believe i survived 8 months there. honestly. i dont know how i made it.
