Not a PC word. They call em Behavioral Health Hospitals. I have been in 2, as an employee. Love all of my patients, even the challenging ones. I have not seen a straight jacket...........ever! Hope you didn't hurt yourself, or anyone else.

Nope (I have never been on welfare or on any charity program).\n\nHowever my taxes are used to pay for welfare and charity programs, and I have volunteered (through church) to help the poor, feed the hungry, visit the sick etc.\n\nCordially,\nJohn\nhttp://www.GodSci.org\n[God and Science]

My daughter did.She forced me to go to the hospital after I had been sick for 3 days.I later found out my appendix had burst and I almost didn't survive.If she hadn't made me go I wouldn't be here now.

I was homeless, but not sick or handicapped.  I worked during that time and didn't tell anyone at work I wasn't living anywhere.  I wasn't a vagrant.  What I really wanted was my own shower and maybe a fridge or something where I could have food for more than 12 hours so eating was more convenient.  Honestly, I look back at those times and laugh a little because it was so bizarre.  I don't regret it.  I'm well-off now, but I think it's made me appreciate those who have it rough.  You don't know how much you like running water and electricity until you don't have it.  Also, I understand that you don't need a nice car and fancy house to survive and even be happy.  I learned which parks were the most beautiful.  Life was a little slower because of it.  There were plenty of things that were not fun, but I could still enjoy life and be okay.\n\nBy the way, I was 23 at that time and it lasted only a few months, so I don't know if I'm the ideal candidate to answer your question.

Yes. This happened to me when I turned 18. I was out on my own for the first time. Very scary and stressful time.

Trust me, I've been down that road and ended up spending 7 months in a psychiatric hospital. No, absolutely do not think that you are crazy. You really just need to seek help from a professional. There are many free services such as suicide hotlines that provide someone to talk to you about this. They can also provide more advice to you about resources available like discussion groups and free psychiatric consults.

Yes I did.  It was both funny and embarrassing.  A friend of mine is a hypnotist and put on a small demonstration at a party.  I volunteered.  I "came out of it" suddenly finding myself in a shower fully clothed running water over my head singing to a rubber ducky.  This was in front of 10 people.\n\nI guess it could have been worse and he could have suggested I take my clothes off first!\n\nI was so embarrassed for weeks.

Yeah, I agree with what someone else said in a previous comment....If you're able to question rather or not you're crazy, chances are - You're Not!...Unfortunately, I had grown up around people that were mentally ill. (my Grandmother, & a cousin) who has been in & out of mental wards all their life...They didn't know they were ill, nor did they know what they were doing, saying, etc...

Yes, I have.  It was a culmination of a week long high fever and a fractured skull, resulting in Acute Schizophrenia

Yes,  Once I fell off a cliff... well I sort of jumped but I had no choice.  I cracked my head pretty hard at the bottom.\n\nI think I died and went to hell... it was a boiling pit of blood, people were screaming in it all around me.  Any who tried to surface or reach out would get slashed by flying serpents that skimmed the surface.  This of course could have been a hallucination... I felt I deserved to be there for what I had done in my life, so I sunk to the bottom, resigned to my fate.  There I saw a baby that took my hand and said, "wake up, I still need you!"\n\nWhen I awoke, I was in that gulch with blood all over my face, matted in my hair and my head damaged.  I couldn't walk... I had to drag myself out, one foot at a time and the pain was terrible as my shock wore off. \n \nI prayed to God for the strength to make it out alive and swore to do all he asked of me if I survived... somehow I made it back up to the road and was delivered to the hospital by some motorists.\n\nI believe it was a miracle!

Yes, as a matter of fact I have.I was 17 years old at the time and the experience still give me nightmares.However psyhciatric wards are not as bad as they are often made out. The staff was really friendly and helpful and held on to  hope for me when I couldn't myself. They saved my life and I am eternally grateful to them. THe nightmares are of the seclusion room...but I won't go into that.
