Today's local Googie-fied sign is actually a combination of 2 signs on Kirkwood highway in lower Wilmington. The "Astro Shopping center" and the "meadowwood shopping center II" just across the street. the "II" in the name hovers over the sign in a little box just like shown here. This sign is all neon, except for the "II" box which is backlit plastic

Inside the Facility

For my research I intended to gather knowledge for my topic from all possible angles. In order to make this achievable, I needed to get information from a primary source to get as close to actuality as possible. I was able to accomplish this by reaching out to people I knew who had experience in mental hospitals. By doing this, I could discover authentic details of what goes on behind the scenes of mental health patients. 

A friend of mine, who will remain anonymous, was willing enough to open up to me about her time in a mental health hospital for research purposes. I interviewed her regarding where she stayed, the conditions of the hospital, restrictions implemented, and the effectiveness of the facility. 

For some background, she explained that she suffered from anxiety and depression throughout her teenage years. She was never medicated or treated for her mental health prior to getting admitted to the hospital. One day her suffering became unbearable and caused her to go to the hospital. From this, she was asked if she would be willing to get admitted to a mental hospital, which she agreed to. There were tedious procedures that needed to be followed in order to find an institute with availability that also took her insurance. She had to wait a total of about twelve hours to be admitted. This consisted of talking to various doctors, filing for paperwork, taking an ambulance from hospital to hospital, and going home to gather necessities for her stay. She finally was admitted to Meadowwood Behavioral Health Hospital after all. 

She was told from the start that she would have her own room and access to a phone to use whenever she pleased. Upon her arrival she was welcomed into a room with a roommate and no personal phone to use. Although there was a phone for calls, everyone had to wait to be called back if they had a call or they had to wait hours to make a call. From having no prior history of psychoactive drugs, she was immediately put on four different medications, all of which she did not consent to taking. Despite this, the doctors made sure patients took their meds by checking their tongue to make sure the pills were swallowed. 

She felt that the hospital she was put in was not a good fit for her. For example, she stated that she was “triggered by the other patients' experiences”. Her own feelings felt invalidated through other people who seemingly were going through “so much worse”. All of the therapy sessions consisted of group meetings, which could be skipped if patients did not feel up to talking. However, to be released, patients must eventually engage in group meetings to cooperate with the program and make progress. She reported feeling isolated from being kept in a confined space with other patients who came off as threatening. 

After just one day, her and her parents agreed that this hospital was not suitable for her. Regardless of her and her parents wanting her to come home, she was not able to leave until she was approved to leave by the doctor. She was kept in the facility for five days. It was not until she was advocated by a social worker to be discharged. Ultimately, after her stay at the hospital she had higher feelings of depression and anxiety. She in turn did not recommend getting admitted into a mental hospital unless you are severely a danger to yourself or others.

This interview gave me a lot of insight into just one circumstance of a mental health center. Of course many factors come into play when examining these institutions. Many people have had beneficial experiences in these centers. However it is important to note the instances where things went wrong. Many problems tend to repeat themselves and it is those that need to be worked towards changing. 

I was shocked by the details I received about her getting prescribed with various medications at once so quickly. I would suspect that more would have to go into diagnosing a patient. Such as figuring out if medication would be a good option for the patient and if so, then decide on which kinds would be most beneficial. This interview ultimately fueled my advocacy towards improving mental hospitals. It further gave me an inside perspective of what patients actually experience when seeking mental health help.

It is important for higher ups, the people who can make something happen, to be made more aware of the recurring issues happening in mental hospitals. Many Americans struggle with their mental health and are too scared to enter programs that could help. This is due to a fear of hospitals potentially causing more harm than good. Today’s society needs a safety net to provide them with reliable guidance on how to manage their problems and allow them to heal.

3.9.17 Things have been really difficult and stressful since I arrived in Orlando. I've lived alone for 10 or 11 years, so suddenly adjusting to having multiple roommates is painful. I'm not making any money, and my last trip was ruined by a rude, disrespectful crew. But Orlando sure is beautiful. And I just have to remember that someday I'll be able to afford my own place again, and not every crew will be like my last one. #sunset #twilight #dusk #BlueSky #GoldSky #redsun #sky #view #skyline #horizon #colors #cloudporn #skyporn #cielo #Sunsetporn #Orlando #Florida #MeadowWoods #picoftheday #photooftheday #beautiful #love #nature #NoFilter (at Wyndham Lakes Estates, Orlando, Florida)

This time two years ago, I was a patient sitting in Unit A at Meadowwood Behavioral Health Hospital. There’s something important to know and realize about inpatient care for mental illness: it won’t always make you better. Mental health facilities don’t give the antidote for all of your woes and ailments. What they do give, however, are tools to help cope with mental illness/addiction/etc. and a place to stay safe. Having an extended stay in a hospital did not cure me. It kept me safe when I was unable to keep myself out of harm. I honestly came out of the hospital worse than I had gone in, but the counselors at MW taught me how to cope with what was going on in my head. For several months after my stay, I continued to face days that were harder than the day I admitted myself, but because I “knew what to do,” I was able to keep myself safe. I was recently asked what depression is like. Where it comes from, how it impacts my life, and how I handle it. I genuinely can’t give a straight answer. There is no straight answer. Describing something that you’ve always lived with is tough. For a long time, I didn’t realize how I feel is abnormal, that ~normal~ people don’t want to harm themselves. Not everyone has a dark heart and a dark presence inside of them. It took me years to learn, accept, and begin to understand my depression/bipolar diagnoses. Where does mental illness come from? It’s a lot to do with chemical imbalances in the brain, along with genetics, stress, trauma and a billion other factors. Honestly, I would love to give y’all a medical explanation, but the only expertise I have is what I’ve learned from binge watching Grey’s Anatomy. Personally, mine comes from several sources. Genetics, a lot of “childhood trauma” (read: awful private school), and other issues that I never talked about. I went to counselors at the time but never opened up. By the time college rolled around, boy howdy was I a sad kid. I started going to the counselor at LC (god bless Gina) and for the first time, allowed myself to talk about what I was feeling (sorry for never learning how to shut up). Life is impacted daily, though I try not to dwell on it. It’s so much of my norm that I have to remind myself that if I feel a certain type of terrible, it’s probably the depression and not just “how it is.” I’ve accepted that some days I’ll feel incapable of completing tasks, it’s difficult to interact with humans, or I won’t be happy despite a nice day. Learning how to handle depression/bipolar/anxiety is still, and always will be, a work progress. Life throws ridiculous situations my way. And apparently having “well, gotta kill myself” as a first thought is not a normal way to live. But here we are. And here I am, choosing to keep moving forward. Relating my mind to the weather is the best way that I’ve come up with to explain how I feel. You know those days that are super sunny? Then dark storm clouds roll in unexpectedly? The air stays warm, the sun stays out, yet there’s doom and gloom hanging above you. That’s how it feels on the reg for me. Some days there are more clouds, and some days it’s nothing but blue skies. But a lot of the time, it feels just as conflicting as a thunder storm on a sunny afternoon. While at MW, I met such amazingly strong people, some that I’m even still in contact with. The other patients taught me more than the hospital staff, honestly. There were some that this was their third or fourth stay. Life is hard, but they chose to keep fighting even if that meant swallowing their pride and asking for help again. These other patients were in tough situations, tougher than mine. Instead of brushing off my feelings and saying “Well I’m not as bad as Frank over there, so I must be faking it,” I chose to learn from them. While I may not be in as in rough a spot as the man that thoroughly believed the FBI was chasing him or as odd as the guy who literally drank packets of maple syrup all day while only wearing one shoe, my feelings are still valid. Sure, “someone, somewhere has it worse” is true, but that doesn’t mean that what you’re feeling isn’t real or less important. You still deserve happiness. I often hear: “you’d never know that you’ve got all this in your head. You’re always so goofy, funny, and silly.” That is called coping, my dears. Coping mechanisms are wonderful, but if your first response to a rough situation is something sinister, please, please talk to someone. Reach out. Get help. As always, You matter. You are loved. You are enough. You are not alone. You are not a waste of space.
