Hospitals - Self Harm/Suicide/PTSD

[AkiraQuin]

Most medicine can make people go crazy what most doctors don't tell you is the negative effects they can have since it's profitable. My mom has ITP, the doctor she was with at the time had no idea what she had and he just gave her prednisone. That ruined her, changed her and now she lives with some long term side effects. She was stuck on it for three years, so her body grew dependent on it. She used to complain to me so much , about all the scary thoughts of self inflicting, suicide and etc- :(

I was sent to the hospital for like half a year. I ended up being restrained 3 times and given a shot to calm me down 6 times. I just wanted to leave so badly. The hospital only made me more depressed. I have PTSD too from when I got raped and when i was getting restrained it made me feel like i was going through that again because when they held down my arms. I was violent. the only good thing that came from the hospital is i met my boyfriend there. And we'll be together for a year this month.

It's kind of like a detox center if you think about it. It's not the final step though, but people think it is. People need to understand what the hospital is. It's meant to watch people and make sure they won't put themselves or others in danger. If you want to go to one for help, you won't get anything but medication. Therapy yes, but a therapist is much more worth it. Thanks for this video. This awarness needs to be spread so people stop getting forced by uneducated family or friends.

Excellent video. Hospitals are really just a place to watch people in order to make sure they're safe. People treat mental hospitals like a treatment center. They're not. Mental hospitals are made to ensure safety. If someone is in danger of hurting themselves or someone else (violence, hallucinations, suicide are major offenders) they are placed in hospitals and put on medication as a way to make sure they're safe, but it's not treatment to get you better. It stablizes you, it doesn't TREAT you

Really helpfull love your videos

Putting me in the hospital always made things worse for me. My parents put me in one when I was 9 and 16 becuase of intense tantrums and mood swings, and when I came they were worse. I've always heard that putting an autistic person in a mental hospital does more harm than good. I'm living expirence it is true.

you remind me of Kristen Stewart... like - total look alike. lol

This video is well good, I know what you mean, I have been to A and E before and this women was horrabile she had some one watch me while I was being treated with a pain that was hurting from my tooth, She watched me on reasons of the scars on my arms and that my weight was not that much. I dont want to go to And E again but if I have to go, I am going to be worried about them miss treating me .

You are brave for talking about this. Hope all is well.

The whole concept of involuntarily committing someone is potentially counterproductive in general. Hell, knowing exactly how few legal rights I would have and exactly what would happen to my freedom if I told anyone about how much I think about dying is the single biggest thing stopping me. And if I did tell someone, and they didn't do anything, and later I killed myself, THEY could be legally liable. Oh, and hooray for internet anonymity! (and sorry for being a buzzkill)

[rudysees]

I agree with you completely. general psych does more harm than good for most of us.

[bluegrassaaron]

yea i know exactly what your talking about i had a flash back one time and was found "standing" on a bridge 2 miles from my house

I have DID and PTSD and years ago I was hospitalized a few times due to PTSD symptoms. The problem I had with clinics was with some of the other patients who actually didn't belong there. They were whiners who had some stupid problem and so they pulled out their health insurance and took a vacation. They actually depressed me. State hospitals are the best believe it or not because there are real patients with real problems and you then can connect.

[CognitionSpeaks1]

and I've seen what patients have been baker acted for. This is serious stuff. You don't put a suicide note on your employer's desk and expect not to be baker acted, you know? That's the kind of stuff that I personally have seen people be baker acted for, not ones who have been self harming but current are not. Usually the people there are currently wanting to hurt themselves or someone else. That's why they're baker acted.

[CognitionSpeaks1]

I understand what you're saying & I do agree with you. My only concern is looking at from another perspective. Different people experience things differently. The whole reason I started therapy was because I was self-harming. I think people need to look into outpatient services, or just seeing a therapist once a week for a while, before taking more drastic measures like inpatient. I just started working for medical records in a behavioral hospital (c)

Great video! I was taken to the hospital earlier this week for suicidal ideation, but not for self harm (although that is a problem still). It wasn't really my idea, my therapist and parents suggested I go, but obviously once I got there since it wasn't my idea I didn't get admitted since I didn't ask to be.

I wasn't actively suicidal at the time so it was kind of pointless but I had to kind of go along with it. I'm going to run out of space, so I'm going to stop, but thanks for the videos!

[laurenG1814]

this is really interesting :) great job brittany :)

[theladyofshalott16]

*Luckily I haven't done anything life threatening since the before-mentioned incident.

[theladyofshalott16]

One time I had a really severe panic attack and slipped into a "different self". During this short period of time I self injured and took a bunch of pills. Of course, as soon as I snapped out of that state I was freaking out. I did NOT want to die! I don't have PTSD (at least, not diagnosed. Who knows?) but when I have really bad panic attacks I dissociate, and sometimes don't remember a short period of time, usually involving SI. I'm not suicidal usually, but I am during these episodes.

I'm thinking about telling my parents about my self injury through a teacher I really trust, and my biggest fear is that my parents will hospitalize me. :/

[TheKatSpaz]

I'm the same way I understand you finally someone like me

[SpacyStacy32]

I know that triggered fear you talking about. Sometimes I think I need hospitialization but then I realize there are gonna be other people.  Ativan or xanax has worked well for me when that happens. It's the only thing that's helped me so far.

@Fabio2324 shut the fuck up.

[shppingrox]

@lovethewiccan3fl (: Well good. & just so you know, I love your vids you help me a lot(: don't listen to the assholes. haah.
