Hi all,

I don’t know if I should post this here or not. I have had been put in placement before and it was back in 2017. Trigger Placement for feeling suicidal and having a plan, but not going to act on it. The crisis response team, said, what they had and what I was saying didn’t match up. I told them I had a thought and wouldn’t act on it.

Anyway when I was in placement, it didn’t help at all it made things worse I feel. When I was in placement I felt like I was being punished for something. Like I talked of how I was feeling and then I got punished for it. Putting me there felt like I was being punished. I don’t tell people things for a reason. They either do not care and invalidate my feelings or freak and say things if I express any negative emotions.

I will not go into placement ever again, at least I hope so.
Obviously it was about “safety” though. But when I hear it was about and meant for safety reasons, I can’t see it that way, and placement makes me really resentful and bitter. But hey I never had to pay any money for it or my court lawyer. No one to talk to when you are there you are basically alone. That is what it is like on the inside all the time, cold and dark.
