I Have Been In a Mental Hospital

If I didn't I probably would not be alive now.

They said that all I had to do was behave and they'd set me free! And I did and I'm still living! Hahahaha! They'll never catch me!
Am I a sociopath?
Or am I just a child who was imprisoned?
I've been back a few times, you know...

(Look Popi, I'm actually writing it out!)
My admissions have all been in the last two years, the story isn't very exciting or even out of the ordinary, in fact it's quite lame. I don't even suffer from a decent mental illness.
I can't...

It's difficult to recall what happened during the months I spent in a private treatment center. It was the youth ward; it served as a way station between court and the state correctional facility for a lot of kids. For some of them, it...

My brothers were together in a psych hospital for the ADHD. They were in there a few times each. Once when they were there together I went to see them on visiting day. We were going to make ice cream.
We get there and go through this...

Some of you might know this, but others do not: I have been through soo much, and the answer is Yes. One day it just completly broke me down.... I was 13 when this happened. I was cutting, having horrible thoughts in my head and one...

So this is my REAL experience of being in the psych ward/ mental institution five times in my 18th year of life. I have quite a few issues, and as my username states, I have indeed unfortunately missed out on my teenage Golden Years...

I am a neurosurgeon/neuropsychiatrist and have been in a hospital for those that have serious mental problems.  It is my hope that people don't have to spend time there but sometimes it is necessary in order to bring calmness and order...

To be honest, I'm not sure if it's 5 or 6 times. Each time I met new friends and had a very interesting time. It's nothing like what you think it would be. There's only one padded room (the quiet room where you go if you either have  a...

only to visit people...........................................

I also learned that when I told them My Delusions...They said I was just fine, and could checkout any time I like. So I did.

I was in a manetal hospital twice this year. One time in April and the other in July. Both times wer scary and relaxing at the  same time. The first time I got into a huge fight with my husband and I felt like taking a knife and...

It's not too bad, really.  No responsibilities, lots of sleep, support everywhere.  Hell I think the janitors are trained as therapists, lol.  I don't want to go back, though, as being in there hurts and upsets my family.

Okay, I have been in the mental hospital twice so far and this is before I'm 18. I'll just talk about my second stay because it happened like 2 months ago. I'll start how I went into it a second time. It started in the beginning of the...

Lately I've been thinking that I should commit myself to a mental hospital. I have severe depression and social anxiety which prevents me from leaving the house sometimes (all the time alone.) I have Gender Identity Disorder, panic...

I miss my friends from there :( I feel so lonely and it was the best weeks of my life :( sometimes I just want to go back to there..

I am fifteen years old, and i have been hospitalized 11 times in the past two years... It sounds crazy, but i actually like it.. I feel safe, away from my crazy family and my stressful life... I started going to hospitals because my...

Some times it feels like I'm going insane yelling at myself when no one is around, thoughts about hurting the people I love, or scary thoughts of killing all the people that ever bullied me.

I'm a shy kid that keeps to my himself, so...

For six months in a row -everyday of the week- I visited a friend who was a recovering alcoholic. Recovering alcoholics are in a separate corridor of the "severe cases" of the mental wing at the Stuyvenberg hospital in Antwerp.
I myself...

When I was 13 I suffered with severe depressive episodes, anxiety attacks and blackouts. This had been happening to me since age 10. after many assessments I was put onto a child and adolecsent psychiatric ward. I stayed there for 3...
