A Typical Day in the Psych Ward

[Pats2022SBwin]

Thread is interesting to read and talk about whether you like OP or not. To everyone posting "nobody cares," would you rather the misc continue to post thread after thread about Muzzepress's butthole and the countless other worthless threads posted day after day on the misc?

Sounds intense. There was a time where I was a full neet that I was on my way to being institutionalized. I avoided that fate at least.

Stay safe Dusty.

I've been in the psych ward. It is really nbd. Just hella fkn boring. The outpatient group therapy was more interesting. Met a lot of ppl from all walks of life.

Holy ****, what a nightmare, I would kms on day one because I cannot deal with that sort of structure or people for that matter.

People in crisis need structure. It helps. And seeing and bonding with other crazies helps too.

I’d go NC or sue your daughter. You just lost your 2A rights for 5 years atleast if you were 5150d in CA. It doesn’t matter the status you sign in under or what the circumstances are.

Sue my daughter? She didn't do the 5150--the ER did. They just wanted to give me a benzo and leave, which is what they always do when you have severe anxiety. Then the problem would just return in a few hours. I wouldn't trust myself with a gun ever. Never have, never will.

Exactly. Who wants to read about it?

Sometimes I think it's surreal I was even there now that I'm back in my daily routine. It's like WTF just happened?

You really can't harm yourself there as they take everything away from you that would cause you to do that. It's supposed to be safe for people who have breakdowns for divorce, working long hours, a horrible boss, life after 50 as a never married man, etc.

We all know a manager can make your life hell or happy.

The young lady who was in there for a horrible boss was one of the sweetest and prettiest people you could possibly imagine, but very sensitive and that sensitivity gave her anxiety and depression from a mean manager in the tech world. She had a French accent. I can't imagine people judging her for being there but I'm sure men who would want to get in a relationship with her would.

I met a witch and a vampire during my last stay. I'm guessing you were dealing with benzo withdrawal, that's not easy. Happy to hear you had a good time

Interesting lol. I just went on those tours in Nola.

Not benzo withdrawal. It starts with an A and they gave it to me to help with benzo withdrawal but now it’s just as bad!!! Argh.

No nurse Rachet? I'd be disappointed to be in a psych ward without a nurse Rachet or Chief.

I'm over 50 and never have been married. I'm typically congratulated on that by others. I've been to sick to get married. Hope I don't find myself in a psych ward but if I do someday, sounds like a decent place to relax and recoup.

Hope you get to feeling better soon.

So this isn’t your first time ? JSing I’d rather suck it up like a real adult then surrender my constitutional rights like a ****ing criminal and visit those charlatans

I understand you had a bad reaction to meds but still … why not just lock yourself in your room and take 1500mg of Theanine , Ashwugandha or niquil to calm you down ? Srs question

even jager would probably work tbh

I’d still see about suing the hospital because F that if it was a legit 5150 hold

- 10am group. A therapist would lead a group and we would have a positive topic like to write out our strengths on a tree. Another group was about coping strategies.

Coping Strategy 1: Create a post on an internet forum stating that your choice, or forced status, is the best of all. When your choice or status changes, update your opinion of 'best' to align with the change. If any persons challenge your assertion, or present alternatives which they claim are better, be sure to harshly castigate them.

Dang that's wild. Hope you get better soon
Probably good to be away from your phone and sounded like decent food. Add some working out into that and sounds like even more of a healing experience.

My ex went to one recently. (we are still on good terms) She developed panic attacks where she felt like she couldn't breathe and had chest pains and symptoms of a female heart attack. Turned out to be anxiety. It's no joke, it's not something you can just snap out of or choose to have. Some people fake it, but she wasn't faking it. Her experience she described to be a lot like OP's.

Funny how getting rid of the cell phone and not watching things like news channels along with rest are a key factor in recovery.

Not having a computer at home, no television, putting down my cell phone has helped me a lot. If it wasn't for my cameras that run on the internet and a few other systems I'd cut internet.

I remember that miscer who would volunteer at psych wards to bang the Sloots after they got out lmao. Bet the sexors was fantastic

Dusty, you really need to stop treating this place like a diary

After reading all here threads you're concluding that her rights were violated? She's getting off easy and she shouldn't not have an access to a weapon. I'm guessing you probably don't need access to a weapon either.


And lol at the medical advice for an insane person. You think you're the first person whose tried to self medicate for anxiety or a manic episode?

[Shortfuze]

During the Victorian era, females with mental anxiety/depression/panic attacks etc were given the vibrator treatment to orgasm their problems away.

You haven't read my threads on here? I have had a massive anxiety disorder since 2001 and I take 4-5 psych meds prescribed from a psychiatrist.

I don't trust myself with a firearm as I have lost my temper and I put a hole in the closet door permanently 20 years ago. I'm normally a chill person put I push anger down like pushing a beach ball under water.

Is this the same ex with histrionic personality disorder? I remember Miscers said I had it as well.

Severe anxiety just doesn't go away if you meditate. You need to meditate regularly to keep it under control, but when you're at the panic level it just doesn't disappear automatically.

I had it for 14 hours straight a week ago and I meditated for an hour, worked out for an hour put ice on my head and held my breath, and I literally have 12 distress tolerance skills for anxiety from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.

HOLY COW! Why doesn't that surprise me about a Miscer!

I'm not insane. If I was I wouldn't be able to work for top tech companies for 30 years. And no, I'm not a receptionist, yet honestly you couldn't be mentally ill to do that job well when you're greeting customers and executives. I have a Business degree and I was recruited by this company when I was in business school as I purposely took part-time admin jobs at this company while I was going to school to gain experience. Then they hired me as a summer intern and when I graduated.

You would think Millenials and Zoomers would employ such tactics to start their careers, but very few do.

I honestly think that when get my own place my anxiety will diminish by 50-75%. Then when I retire from tech into a less stressful job the anxiety will diminish.

UPDATE! There are 2 apartment complexes in one of the most adorable towns in the world where I would be within walking distance of Main Street!

The rent is less than $3,000 a month, which isn't bad for this coastal CA. I thought it would be $5,000 a month.

I'm going to start touring them.

I preferred David Lee Roth. I think their first album was the best. Yet I'll still listen to them on the radio.

Too funny that they named their album 5150.

you should read about protracted withdrawal syndrome. i had it in 2012-13, it sucks but might explain what you're going through. i thought i had lost mind

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzod...rawal_syndrome

Spoiler!

Protracted withdrawal syndrome refers to symptoms persisting for months or even years. A significant minority of people withdrawing from benzodiazepines, perhaps 10% to 15%, experience a protracted withdrawal syndrome which can sometimes be severe. Symptoms may include tinnitus,[29][125] psychosis, cognitive deficits, gastrointestinal complaints, insomnia, paraesthesia (tingling and numbness), pain (usually in limbs and extremities), muscle pain, weakness, tension, painful tremor, shaking attacks, jerks, dizziness and blepharospasm[20] and may occur even without a pre-existing history of these symptoms. Tinnitus occurring during dose reduction or discontinuation of benzodiazepines is alleviated by recommencement of benzodiazepines. Dizziness is often reported as being the withdrawal symptom that lasts the longest.

A study testing neuropsychological factors found psychophysiological markers differing from normals, and concluded that protracted withdrawal syndrome was a genuine iatrogenic condition caused by the long-term use.[126] The causes of persisting symptoms are a combination of pharmacological factors such as persisting drug induced receptor changes, psychological factors both caused by the drug and separate from the drug and possibly in some cases, particularly high dose users, structural brain damage or structural neuronal damage.[20][127] Symptoms continue to improve over time, often to the point where people eventually resume their normal lives, even after years of incapacity.[25]

A slow withdrawal rate significantly reduces the risk of a protracted or severe withdrawal state. Protracted withdrawal symptoms can be punctuated by periods of good days and bad days. When symptoms increase periodically during protracted withdrawal, physiological changes may be present, including dilated pupils as well as an increase in blood pressure and heart rate.[9] The change in symptoms has been proposed to be due to changes in receptor sensitivity for GABA during the process of tolerance reversal.[25] A meta-analysis found cognitive impairments in many areas due to benzodiazepine use show improvements after six months of withdrawal, but significant impairments in most areas may be permanent or may require more than six months to reverse.[128]

Protracted symptoms continue to fade over a period of many months or several years. There is no known cure for protracted benzodiazepine withdrawal syndrome except time,[20] however, the medication flumazenil was found to be more effective than placebo in reducing feelings of hostility and aggression in patients who had been free of benzodiazepines for 4–266 weeks.[92] This may suggest a role for flumazenil in treating protracted benzodiazepine withdrawal symptoms.
