I had one thankfully only lasting a week before I was medicated out of it. . I'm crying thinking back about this whole experience. Being in the psych unit feeling elated and suicidal at the same time, switching moods every 30 minutes was absolute hell.

I barely made it through. I'd be dead right now if it weren't for my friends' intervention. I can't stop thinking about it. It was so horrible. I have never been in that bad a state before. I can't imagine what a prolonged mixed state must be like.

I'm better now but I feel so messed up from the whole experience. The staff didn't seem to care. I was a total mess and the patients were giving me hugs and helping me out and they were really nice. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. It was horrible.
