He wore a shirt one day that just says 'yiff' on it, I am unsure about his index offense or his current mental illness. There are now two Maximum Security Facilities in the state now that they opened up one in Kerrville, everyone else has gone through Vernon, Tx, and they all probably know about Chad the murderer who practices his own form of Tai Chi, says things like "Oh blang sha" and tries to dial random numbers (here you have to request a line out through a PNA and an operator will call the phone you want to use). He's been there for over twenty years and he probably will never leave. I'll get some more statistics soon about the variety of mental illnesses. A lot of people who are incompetent/mentally ill are homeless. I talked to one dude who has been programming a Final Fantasy Tactics like game, he has hallucinations so his diagnosis is schizophrenia, he stabbed someone 13 times in the leg because that someone was choking him so he alleges self defense.

What's security like at your various facilities, anyone abuse their positions to gently caress with the patients or is everything on the level? Did the maximum security facility have a more prison-like atmosphere of restricted movement/scheduling?

Did the maximum security facility have a more prison-like atmosphere of restricted movement/scheduling? No one really fucks with the patients due to extensive clients rights and how its some peoples jobs that we are treated nicely. Due to covid there are three tag levels at Vernon or the Maximum Security Unit: White, Red, and Blue: If you are white you have to stay on unit all day, If you go to your scheduled classes for a week (coloring sheets and what not) you will move up to a red, go to 75% of your classes (possibly at the Activity Building) from there for a week and you will move up to a Blue tag. (Two more weeks of Blue tag before you can work.) So there is a curved chainlink fence all around the MSU's with the top portion having slots too thin for fingers to get through. Security would walk through a few times a day, and they would show up if there is an incident but other than that it is up to the PNAs to restrain someone if they get into a fight or start turning poo poo over. There's no fence where I am at other than a green line that tells us where to stay.

Do you know of anyone actually getting worse from being hospitalized? From what I've read this can and does happen and it sounds like being in mental hospital can be a PTSD inducing situation. The idea of having no agency, being at the whims of doctors of dubious levels of competency, and having to just take whatever pills they throw at you sounds completely and utterly terrifying.

Okay, so here's my question. As a frequent user of the private hospital system here in Arizona... Is there anything to recommend inpatient treatment on a long-term basis versus several short-term stays, which seem to just put a band-aid on me and then release me into the wilds to get basically forgotten about under a crappy system? Because that's how I'm feeling. I know there's a state hospital in Arizona with a civilian population and I'm just curious if something like that would help me more than what currently seems to have been failing me.

Some people might get worse from being forced to take medication, aka they are at a high dose because they weren't responding to their earlier dose because they weren't taking it. One lady, in particular, started exhibiting weird facial and body tics/spasms. Jail and Institutionalization is incredibly anxiety inducing for me, particularly loud noises and yelling gets to me. Anne Whateley posted:no offense, but since you’re being mostly straightforward here, did your aunt and uncle get pretty hosed up? I don’t think you get years in max security over a slapfight, right? I got sucker punched in jail and got whomped on while I was on the stairs and I had to go to the hospital for cuts and swelling, I had a broken nose and broken bones around my eye along with an ugly cut. sigher posted:How long have you been there? 3 Months in the Maximum Security Facility and a month and a half in the less restrictive hospital.

So from what I understand, in Texas, at least your civil commitment is considerably shorter than 6-12 month intervals of being chapter 46c NGRI. Your treatment team is the one who advocates for your discharge and they are definitely on the side of getting people out rather than keeping them. Your judge would decide if you stay or are released so I am thinking that they thought you were ready. I am sure if you voiced this they would make sure you had the resources for follow-through in your treatment. I don't know that much about civil commitment so I apologize.

I actually think I was overcharged as my charge includes the element 'causes serious bodily injury' which basically means they were at risk of death. The broken nose is actually viewed as a serious injury depending on its severity, I am also potentially charged this way if I was considered to have exhibited a deadly weapon which can be anything basically.

Passive Aggreeable posted:Schizo is a brain disease that lasts for life and here I am at full remission of whatever was causing my psychosis and with insight into my once fervently held delusions. this is actually an extremely common experience for schizo patients. it's very easy to fall into a cycle of having psychosis -> getting treatment -> feeling good enough that you decide you're not crazy -> stopping treatment -> having psychosis. not saying this is you necessarily, I hope it was just a one and done, but schizophrenia is not something you can actually rule out because you feel normal after treatment.

mystes posted:Isn't that literally exactly what you it would feel like if you're schizophrenic and the delusional beliefs you had stopped making sense to you because you're receiving treatment, though? I got better spontaneously off medication while I was in jail, there were hiccups where I deduced that I was wrong but for the most part, I was delusion free. Low effort chatgpt: "No, delusions and psychosis are not necessarily exclusive to schizophrenia. While they are commonly associated with schizophrenia, they can also occur in other mental health conditions such as bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder with psychotic features, substance-induced psychotic disorder, and certain neurological disorders. Delusions and psychosis are symptoms that can manifest in various psychiatric and medical conditions, not solely in schizophrenia." If I was experiencing hallucinations and whatnot/symptoms that are more or less trademark schizophrenia then insight would point me into believing it as so. OCD (obsessing over my beliefs), stress, and traumatic brain injury can all lead to psychosis. I wrote a three-page letter to my previous psychiatrist and she told me the sole criteria for maintaining my diagnosis was that I had a run-in with the police greater than six months apart (not from symptoms or anything like that). She was open to the possibility of lowering/getting off medication in the future, outside of her care tho. Passive Aggreeable fucked around with this message at 02:10 on May 17, 2023 |

I broke my uncle's nose when he fell. so when people fall in an uncontrolled manner and hit their heads this can cause some pretty serious injury including death. im not sure what the point of this thread is since it just seems to be a way for the OP to talk themselves into stopping treatment or convincing themselves actually no it's fine i didn't do nearly as bad a thing as everyone says. seems pretty unhealthy and kinda hosed up to let go on but have fun i guess.

My lawyer knew exactly how bad what I did was, he told me what other cases it was between.

I just asked someone who worked in the kitchen and he said he's seen Sysco trucks but he personally doesn't know who does the food. I am unaware of the hut lunch program. The food is pretty decent, we had a bean burrito for lunch and 2oz of turkey with stuffing and cranberry sauce for dinner.

I knew a person who used to like to be super nice to the staff and the other patients, and be like, "You want a juice? Let me get you a juice." Then tell their counselors that they'd like to work in a place like this and helping people was really great, so they'd get let out sooner. Is this sort of behavior obvious to other tenants?

I haven't encountered anyone that acted like that to hopefully get their time reduced. The maximum security facility is mainly populated by people who are incompetent and it is like jail in culture, most people won't even answer the patient phones, letting them ring and ring. As far as juice goes, either the PNAs have to get it for you or the LVNs (Licensed Vocational Nurse) have to. The desire to work here after getting out is fairly common, a lot of peer support or rehab staff came from problems themselves. So were you institutionalized yourself, how do you know this person? I'd think it would be fairly obvious behavior, but I don't think it would get you out sooner other than the fact that said person is interacting with other people positively. I've read that people planted in mental facilities for studies, who took notes on their stay were quickly thought to be reporters so people are maybe keen to that sort of thing
