Mental Hospital

 

After my past relationship of 3 years started to collapse,  I started having mental breakdowns. I’ve been hospitalized several times. And diagnosed with Severe Depression with Psychosis. Today I take medications for it. And I have been doing well since then. 

What I don’t like about mental hospitals, is that some treats people like wild animals. 

I’ve been locked in a room without proper communication, to where during the period of psychosis, I thought I would be locked there forever. I started crying for like half an hour and screaming begging for them to let me out. I thought I would be locked without food and water and be starving to death. After crying a lot, the worker gave me an ugly stare and told me she would let me out only when I stop yelling and crying. That’s when I realized that I wouldn’t be locked forever and they did have the intention of releasing me. 

I was there with a lot of mentally ill people for like a week or two. I even lost track of time. 

I even made friends with some people, inside the hospital, while I was ill. 

I didn’t trust the workers. I was out of touch with reality. 

Not gonna lie, I gave them a hard time. I did not even trust the water or medicines they gave me. 

All I know is,  I never want to be at a mental hospital again.
