Having a depressive episode so bad I think I need to be hospitalized.
Remembering i can’t because they’ll probably turn me away because I’m a mobility aid user and nonverbal.
This is the reality for many people like me and I hate it. I can’t get psychiatric care because I’m afraid they’ll take away my right to communicate. I can’t get psychiatric care because my needs are complex and I need help in everyday life. I can’t get psychiatric care because the hospitals aren’t there for people like me.
They’re there for people the opposite of me. Non-physically disabled, verbal, and not higher support needs.
It sucks, and it makes me feel terrible. All I want is help. I work with a therapist, but sometimes that isn’t enough, and I’m a danger to myself. But that doesn’t matter, does it? /sarcasm

Letchworth Village, situated in Rockland County, New York, operated as a psychiatric hospital from its opening in 1911 until its closure in 1996. Throughout its history, the facility garnered a notorious reputation for the mistreatment of its patients, spanning from infants to the elderly. Reports surfaced detailing instances of patients being left unclothed, neglected, and even subjected to acts of violence and sexual abuse.
Following its closure, Letchworth Village fell into disrepair, symbolizing the neglect and abandonment that marked its final years. Compounding this tragedy, scattered throughout the woodland surrounding the former hospital grounds are numerous unmarked gravestones. These numbered markers serve as silent memorials to those who died within the institution and were buried without individual recognition.
In an attempt to honor these forgotten souls, a bronze monument was eventually erected at the cemetery's entrance. Engraved with approximately 900 names, the monument stands as a collective memorial to those interred on the grounds. However, the names listed on the monument are not linked to specific burial plots, leaving uncertainty about the exact locations of individual graves. Many of those commemorated are identified only by generic labels such as "Baby Girl" or "Baby Boy," highlighting the anonymity and lack of dignity with which some patients were laid to rest.

I have never been to a psychiatric ward or a mental hospital in general (outside of therapy sessions) but it bugs the hell out of me that like 9 out of 10 of the people I know who went to one come out with more trauma and problems, like idk about you but if I went to a place where I was meant to get better from my mental issues and I came out with more of them I would sue. Why is this allowed

Sometimes i wonder what the people at the psychiatric hospital did with the cords from my pants. i wonder what they do with all the tings they take from us. do they just get thrown away like they are nothing? i cried over losing the cords from my favorite frog pajamas i wonder if the nurses knew i would cry about that.

it’s all “mental health awareness!✊💖” until someone criticizes TTPD.
gonna say it again but if you are following suite with taylor and romanticizing psychiatric hospitals you are extremely out of touch.
call me a snowflake idc. i’ve been to one of those. there’s a possibility someone you know has aswell. so please think about how your words/posts could effect them.
not that long ago people were given electroshock therapy to try and fix there depression but instead it killed them.

not that people who've been to the ward are immune from being pro-psych, but if you've never been to a psych ward*, i sincerely don't want to hear about how psychiatry/psychology is good because you've had such a good experience with X provider, or X medication saved your life. *i also don't want to hear about how the forced treatment was what you needed or how the ward you went to let you have your cellphone etc. etc. i genuinely do not want to hear it.
like. the first hospitalization traumatized me so bad, i became dangerously delusional, was re-hospitalized, and sent to state. when they transferred me, i was strapped down into a gurney at all points on my body, *head and neck included*, and loaded onto an ambulance. my parents lost most of their parental rights; i was a ward of the state and had near zero rights. when i got there, they made me choose if, "if necessary," if i wanted to be wrangled down and forcibly injected with a sedative... or wrangled down and locked in a padded room all by myself (but at least i had a choice, right?). i signed consents and paperwork that i did not fucking understand. then i was told i'd be locked inside for 2 straight weeks (which yes, they followed through with). the psych ward was remote, nothing but barbed fences and trees around us. cant even see the sun through the heavily tinted windows. that was the *start* of the stay. i'm sure you can imagine nothing good came after.
so like. if you walk out of a place like that thinking it was good for you, then i can only imagine how traumatized you are and i hope you heal someday. but if you've never faced the destruction of your autonomy like that and go around being like "oh this is good actually" then shut the ever living fuck up.

I am never going caroling at the psychiatric hospital again. In hindsight, singing “Do You Hear What I Hear” was not a great idea.

Okay, so I saw this video getting recommended to me by YouTube, and before I remembered what suicide squad (the actual movie) is about, my brain just casually assumed there's gotta be a connection between the picture in the thumbnail and the word "suicide" in the name. But after I DID remember what the movie was actually about, I figured that having a movie called "suicide squad" which is about five suicidal people who met each other and became friends at a psych ward, and the personal journeys of each of them and how they affected one another, is actually a really really good idea.
The poster is just five hands in psych-ward-bracelets doing a collective high five.
