Hey Laura,

I can not believe the Hospital let you leave so quickly and with all that medication. The fact you went home on a bus(public bus?) is unreal.

How you feeling now?
Thanks for this!

Wow. The mental hospitals I have been to were bad, but nothing compared to your experiences.
Thanks for this!

Thanks for sharing this with us. Psych wards aren't always the best.

These psych people. OMG.

Of course they don't ask us what's best for us; they decide for us and they often don't make the right decisions.

You should have been observed more closely, and (I believe that psych hospitals should give more therapy, or at least a little more emotional support; they treat us like cattle!) talked to more.

I had been hoping you would have been given those antidepressants.

You get sent off with all those pills after attempting suicide?!

Is it any wonder some of us do without therapy! Hard, so hard to trust the system!

Thank you for your post, on here and on that blog.

Are you okay?

Billi

hey guys and girls. thanks for your feedback.
i know it is shocking as to how i was treated and i am actually putting a formal complaint in against the hospital that was 'treating' me. they said they thought I wasnt 'that' bad but no-one had ever come to talk to me about my feelings and my future intentions. suffice to say it all went horribly downhill (to which, if you are interested, I will explain in a later blog). i think to this day they thought I was just being 'difficult'

i am fine now Billi - thank you. I am emotionally regulated now and even started back to work at the begnning of last month to which im working on a phased-return basis, gradually increasing my hours as i go

my whole experience of the system I was privy to was horrific. and i sure wont be going back thats for sure

I second the "OMG"

I have never been to a psych hospital and hopefully never will after reading this

Although, things are MUCH different here in Australia if you have private health insurance.

I cannot believe how some countries treat their mentally ill. It really is deplorable.
