i just wanna see how many out there have been hospitalized....i have and it was a scary thing for me....
i told my dad i was going to kill myself (knife in hand), he didnt do anything but take the knife and hold me for a little bit while i cried my eyes out.....i went to school the next day and felt like no one cared....my life felt worthless....i was ashamed and distraught....i went to my counselor at school just told her everything....i didnt want to, but it all just kinda spewed out of me.....she called my psyciatrist and she said to go get me "evaluated" at mesa vista hospital(mental hospital....eek)....i was terrified....they said it was just gonna be a day or two....it turned out to be about 2 weeks....i know thats nothing compared to some people....but it felt like forever.....the reason i dont cut or anything anymore is cuz im scared of going back.....
so the point of this is that i wanna hear your stories....if youve been in one, what happened that got you in there? what was it like for you? how long were you there?
for those of you that havent been in one, tell me what u think a mental hospitals would be like? open floor....

i've been to the hospital three times for supposed attempted suicide. last time, i did it to avoid killing myself, because i know when i will lose control. it was just to be tied down for a few hours. i didn't want to die. the time before that i was taken in after i ran away because everyone though that i was homocidal and i was going to kill everyone in the house. not cool. and the first time my boyfriend of over a year and i broke up and i fell asleep on the bathroom floor crying and everyone thought that i chugged the drain-o or whatever (and i didn't). but i've never been commited to the mental hospital. i always got out by promising not to hurt myself. i think it would suck at a mental hospital because everyone would treat you like you were a stupid little child and like you had no idea what was going on in your head.... 24 HOURS A DAY! but anyways...

ya everyone does treat you like a child....one time i was crying and the said they were gonna put me in the observation room....u know the typical little white room with the camera in the corner where you sit for hours sometimes days and the only human contact is when they bring you meals....ya thats not just in movies folks....from then on i was afraid to express my feelings in fear of going in there...psh and theyd tell me "you need to express your emotions" i dont think so...

it's pretty ******** up, all the s**t people do 'for your own good' that does nothing but mess you up in the head even worse. the reason they use it is probably because they see results. the reason they see results is because everyone gets scared and pretends they're okay...
that had to really be miserable. when i'm locked in a room, at least it's my OWN room...

I've been hospitalised quite a few times due to suicide attempts. Alot of the time my parents don't talk to me when I've done it, normally it's the whole lets pretend it didn't happen thing which can get quite annoying when you want to talk to them about it.
I've been sent to an instituation twice, but other then that I'm fine. Life's got better since my boyfriend came about ^_^

I never been hospitalised, although wouldn't that make you feel... I dunno.. Worse?
You'd be around people who are like you and you realise, "this is what other people see me as," and...
I'd think it'd be horrible.
My friends say I should be hospitalised sometimes. But I don't think they're joking... sweatdrop

greengonewow ieatcrayons3480 ya it sucks pretty bad....i wanted to make sure i wasnt the only one here who had been hospitalized....its a scary thing.... I felt safe there.... I never feel that safe no matter what anymore... Indeed. I hated it at first but then I started feeling safe. I felt like I wasnt the only one anymore, I thought it was nice to be able to talk to someone with the same illness who knows the exactly what you are going through.

I felt like I wasnt the only one anymore, I thought it was nice to be able to talk to someone with the same illness who knows the exactly what you are going through. i guess the reason i was scared was cuz i didnt know what was going on....my first time and i thought a hospital was gonna be like the ones in the movies....i dunno maybe i wasnt there long enough to feel safe....i was too scared of what was gonna happen to me...but nothing did happen, so i guess if i went back, id feel safe; knowing what to expect...

I've never been hospitalized, although I think it would be a pretty scarry experience to go through with. My grandma was hospitalized, she died in the hospital, actually. When she was in it, I had to visit her frequently, everything was so sterile...it was creepy. That was only visiting, I can't imagine what it would be like to actually be in one.

A while ago I was rushed to the hospital from taking a major overdose of my medication. =_=;;
I was on Paxil at the time, and one night I kept freaking out and my younger brother kept saying "Take your medication!" as if it would start working the moment I took it.
I finally gave in and swallowed about 8 pills. Mom called the hospital and asked about overdoses, then turned to me and said "Sami, get your shoes on now. You're going to the ER." I asked why and she told me "Because your heart could stop beating any moment now." By the time we got to the ER it was too late to get a stomach pump, so instead the doctor brought out sterilized (sp?) charcoal. Since I took so many pills I had to drink... 2 cups of it, I believe. >_<;;
The doctor told me to try not to throw up, otherwise I'd just have to drink more.. it was seriously hard to keep that stuff down too. It tasted like liquified fire.. gonk
