Did you draw a picture of the dragons chasing you? It's easier to identify them that way.

How much did your stay cost you? Are you on some kind of government list now? Could you get a job as a teacher? Did you get laid in the loony bin?

waitwhatno posted:How much did your stay cost you? nothing or very little, i have great insurance. i am not on a government list since I was technically voluntary. at least that's what they tell me. they have a funny definition of voluntary though, I checked myself in but if I then asked to leave I would have been held against my will and put on the DOJ's list. i did not get laid and it was not a very sexy place. www posted:cool, so what do you do all day while inside? mostly group therapy. I socialized a lot with the other patients, did a big puzzle, did some coloring(very zen), and we had a bunch of VHS movies to watch. there was cable but I couldn't find any worthwhile channels. I also borrowed a book and read that.

Be honest. at least a few, but i think mood disorders are probably very very common here Parallax Scroll posted:that's good to hear i had a few roommates. one was a kid who kept telling me about his black belt in kung fu(delusion). one talked to himself constantly and made weird like... injecting motions. he was hard to communicate with and I was a little scared of him at first but he wasn't dangerous. another told me in the first 5 seconds of meeting him that he was in there because he was gonna kill people and was detoxing off drugs. another lady got naked in the cafeteria. another lady screamed at me that her daughter(astranged, ward of the state) was, at that moment, being raped by a guy named pomo.

Spent a week inside myself after a suicide attempt everyone was honestly pretty cool given the circumstances. There's less outright lunatics and more sad broken people in there than you'd think.

PartyPlatter posted:How was the food? it varied a lot. the turkey was awful, the meat loaf was good. we filled out a menu each day of what we wanted the following day. we had access to snacks like popsicles, juice, crackers, peanut butter, etc in between meals. the unit was split into 2 levels. level 2, where I was, had this stuff. level 1 was for the really dangeorus/disturbed people and they typically had no privileges.

New York State is garbo though, even though Cooperstown is an ace hospital you can't smoke on anything deemed medical grounds in NY which let me tell you what is not a good factor going into rehab or a mental ward!!!

notZaar posted:So how did they catch you before it was too late? You got any cool scars now? no, but a really nice dude in there showed me a loving gnarly scar on his wrist from his first suicide attempt. I reported to my therapist that I was having progressively more elaborate thoughts. i had a plan, a method, and a date set, but when I went to the session that day I wasn't feeling that suicidal and I told her about it.
