Oh, the last time I was hospitalized the dr believed I had attempted suicide (I had not but it seemed like I did so I saw where she was coming from). So because of that I was placed on the more restrictive unit, the ACU. The people here were really sick, not just depressed. One day there were about five of us sitting in the day room in complete silence. No tv on, just silence. This quiet girl who looked so sweet was sitting with us. Out of nowhere, she gets up, runs full force at the screen door, and punches it with all her might. Then sits back down with her knuckles bleeding from the sharp metal screen. And nobody even blinked an eye. I looked around rather incredulously to see if anyone was going to say anything. Nope. They all just ignored it like nothing had happened. It was crazy. I got up after a minute and went to tell the nurses what had happened so she could get care for her hand. I hope I never end up on the ACU again.
