I came in for suicidal thoughts and urges on acting on them. I have severe trauma, depression, anxiety, ptsd, autism and ADHD.
They at first, was great. Although I felt there was no one to really talk to, a seemingly aggressive toned treating clinician and I believe no real support, there was other patients and I felt we all were encouraged to help each other... until I wasn't ready to be discharged...I told them how I feel, then was told that as I understand it, I allowed other people to tell me how I felt. I said no it validated how I was already feeling. I believe the clinician then doubled down on their opinion. I told them about my urge and then they turned around and told me I wasn't helping myself. If I wasn't helping myself, I wouldn't have volunteered myself in. I felt I was then punished and treated like an annoyance for the remainder of my stay by the staff. It seemed I was told not to talk to other patients and restricted to one room and wasn't allowed to leave that room.. I left feeling worse and more triggered then when I went in.
