I have really mixed feelings about IP. When I'm there, I will do and say almost anything to get out. But looking back on the times that I went, I realize now that I was in a dangerous situation and needed to be kept safe. A couple of times I managed to find space to chill out and heal, but predominantly IP has been a stressful space for me.


I did the same thing. Told them what they wanted to hear... a little smile... I even convinced one dr to let me go early cuz it was my boyfriends birthday!! But the things I DID to get there still haunt me. [trigger]. Stabbed myself in the forearm, pulling a knife on people, multiple on purpose OD's, self harm. All in my 20's and now that I look back I'd wish I'd take my life, and my help seriously. But all I wanted was to get out.
