Average Day in an Insane Asylum

We had to eat powdered eggs

After being in a psych ward 16 times this is pretty accurate across all of the facilities these days. I’ve been there voluntarily and involuntarily. The weekends just have less therapy groups and more free time. If you’ve never been to one and end up on a situation where you have to go to one, it’s not that bad. Scary and confusing at first but it’s not hellish. I’ve made good friends in those places, very genuine people.

Not a fan of the fact that this video brands mental health facilities as insane asylums. The two programs are incredibly different and wording it this way really just enhances the stigma towards mental health diagnoses and care.

Average Day on Earth!

I got put in a psych ward of a hospital for a few days...It was interesting.

I hate the stigma around mental health facilities. If you’re truly struggling and aren’t sure what the next step in order for you to heal, please don’t be hesitant to reach out for help - however that looks like for you. Your diagnosis does NOT define you. No matter what the situation is, no one deserves to feel alone. My thoughts, prayers and well-wishes are with you. Stay strong and know you are not alone. I wish you the absolute best! ❤️

what if Jesus Christ or Saint Marie make an appearance??? imagine all of those times the world could have needed there guidance.. But the soulless people or like some people call them "NPC's" they will shut you up so you stay a robot and stay asleep...

When it comes to admission "voluntary" doesn't mean what you think it means, many times the patient is given an ultimatum "check yourself in or I'll have the cops do it for you" so yeah you volunteered just to avoid having someone else sign you up.

I work at a mental hospital and this video is… quite wrong. 😂 oof.

ah yeah. my second home

I actually struggle with Bipolar Disorder and have been hospitalized 6 times for it. Every time has been voluntary. I either go for either severe depressive or severe mixed states and they can adjust my medications to get be back on track. Honestly it's nothing like the movies (I dunno about mental prisons where it's long-term/permanent) but the short term facilities aren't that bad. Just can be bored frequently. My stays are between 4 to 7 days.

Once I went to a mental facility, and I wondered if any other people go there when they have random problems they stick with for the rest of their life. Like me, I would go crazy over stressing work at school and tbh, I am kinda based

I used to be scared of going to one I have not been to one yet,but this video helps me not fear a metal insution

A PSYCH WARD and A CRIMINALLY INSANe asylum

There doesn’t seem to be much positive perspective and feedback from people who have voluntarily gone in the nut house and received treatment. Are they any better for the experience?

I’ve been in a mental hospital and it’s harder as a kid because I was lucky I didn’t have to fight like they I said i would have to

There a difference between a asylum and a insane asylum a insane asylum is like you being in a pillow room with a straight jacket on a asylum does not use restraining often they use meds and thing like shoke collers are only used temporarily

Ngl I wanna be crazy now

I miss being in the mental hospital. If I go back out will affect any medicine in about to be put on and I can't risk that. I hated being there at the time but now that I'm sane now for about 3 years I kinda miss it

This almost happened to me but the place and others in the area couldn’t take the type of pump I had (I have diabetes) and I’m happy now I didn’t end up in that place

The sights you will see there are a great scar, surely for a vulnerable soul. Find alternatives! Look for stable treatment in the community!

It's strange I was watching a movie yesterday it was about the it was the opposite of what they do they would break the prisoners Minds I couldn't take it anymore they committed suicide I think that movie really taught me that we don't live in that world and age

The treatment of the mentally ill in asylums was heavily influenced by those in positions of power, including medical professionals, administrators, and caregivers. Asylums became sites where the power dynamics of the time were played out, with patients often being the most vulnerable and powerless.

watching this to get ready later

The funny thing is, a lot of people just wanna get out until they do, then they want back in. A week was long enough for me.

I wish I could go back, but I don't wanna steal a bed from someone who needs it

if you think you were crazy before you came, just wait until you are there.

I need to go there. Bcuz im very depressed bcuz of the school

I've been in a mental hospital when I was 24 years old yo

Wrote a song about this: Rosetta West - Labyrinth

I was in one almost a year ago. The food. I'd rather eat prison food

are you really down playing all the horrors that ppl who did nothing, ppl who just happened to be mentally ill or accuesed of being mentally ill ( to silence ppl being difficult ) all went thru. Do some research yourselves. Look into how every country has & still treat the mentally ill, the ' crazy ' ... they do experiements on these ppl. Look at how they are treated, man handled, pumped full of 'meds' , 'GAPED.' ... look into it yourselves instead of listening to a guy with a great 'story' to tell.

Don't forget these victims are not all adults.. some of these ppl were your ancestors.

All I know is, I’m tired of all the homeless on the streets….so we gotta put them somewhere

All these problems are fixable….having homeless on the street is not fixable

I’m willing to pay more in taxes to get the homeless off the street and in safe mental hospitals

I went to a facility and it wasn’t this bad maybe it wasn’t this kind of stuff

You can also go in a hospital get a mental health assessment and depending on how your situation is the hospital can put a 72 hour hold.

release all inmates

I got food poisoning from the food at smokey point mental hospital in lynnwood washington i had dead fever and was in a coma and they didnt even tell my parents what happend they also gave me a fentnyl pill aka a happy pill. I have ptsd for staying in 1 place for a long time now

I was assessed i strongly believe the community and the authorities wanted to amit me they believed i was much worse than what I was. Watching this video i see some good and some bad ways how it would help but those in a worse state i imagine it could be rather frightening

The Left’s way is to let them roam the streets like Kensington Ave

It sounds boring to be in one for the most but if I had a choice between prison and a mental hospital I would probably take the mental hospital but most likely if I am ever in situation to where I have those two options I would most likely not have a choice

For almost 2 years I rotted in 3 separate mental hospitals. While this vid does line up with what I went through, my experience was far more stressful, if not dangerous, than what's in this vid. Many other clients were more unstable than me. The staff was somewhat corrupted. They used their position in power to harass the clients, and when questioned the higher ups always went with the staffs' side of the story and never gave the client the chance to explain what happened from their perspective. So yeah, I ROTTED and SUFFERED for two years in those hellholes. I'm just glad my stay there is long since over.

Bin there

Love the video for sure! Animation, narration and tone to sarcastically sweeten up the true anguish that goes on there for an inmate or patient (not a client like you are told) the hospitals dont have anything to stimulate the brain like your own clothes, shoes, books, plants and tones for the walls are horrible on purpose. You may have 30 minutes a day of rec to go to an indoor basketball hoop and ive been in a few with a t.v room and puzzles. All water except 1 maybe 2 juice boxes or coffee a day So that you are based out and the forced meds they give you (2 or 3 times a day) are the only stimulation you can have and theyre free to play around with drug combinations knowing theres no other factors in your head. which leads to a lifetime of pain and chaos. Its like jail without being able to go outside at all but id much rather jail. In jail or prison gotta watch your back on the other inmates. In Hospitals you really gotta watch out for the gaurds, nurses even the doctors. They're seriously overworked stressed to the highest degree and have complete control of your life and mind, im thinking need to switch things up occupationally when it became too much and wouldnt come into the psych fields with the intent to harm🙏🏼 but theres a lot of things that have happened behind those walls that are absolutely unforgivable, unforgettable and unmentionable making me shake just ttping....

I also know every crazy hospital isn't the same, theres so many of places in the world and there's different levels of facilities for mental health problems but i wish i was put in a spot like this for one of my stays for sure. Reminds me of a group psych house i had to stay at, or a group home.
**I guess the reason for this is, if you or someone you know have mental health issues dont make the hospital your first thought, there's a lot of options. Just start hitting up your local community and dont feel weird about it because without help it just gets weirder and wierderer👍🏼Youre tagged for life with your hospital chart and a false diagnoses, or any diagnosis, could really mess up someone's life...

Im sorry to anyone who has had to deal with the cruelty of these places and feel deeply for anyone who's mind is just acting funky on the daily and you cant do anything about it. Im with you all spirit and just keep movin!

*And wanted to give a big shoutout to all the nurses docs and gaurds that treated people like people, trying to help me and everyone find a little peace in our heads. The world needs more of you, so much love to ya❤
And another appology about this long comment, i loved the video and it made me think a ton so figured id share some of dem thoughts🤘🏼
Have a great day cause if you reading this it means your outside and thats at least 1 positive for the day!

WHAT LIES NEXT IS THE TEST OF YOUR WILLPOWER LETS SEE HOW LONG YOU WILL LAST. you are going to die here :) - staff application voice

In a word smip

They get to sleep in until 7AM? I need to get myself committed.

Stay well away from ILLEGAL DRUGS, excessive alcohol and trouble with the law, this will help many people to stay away from mental hospitals also with certain situations WALK AWAY.

I have been in the mental hospital twice. None of these necessarily followed this. We had to wake up at 6:30 in the morning. Just because you are in a mental hospital doesn’t mean that you are insane. Both times were because of severe depressive episodes!!! Staying in the hospital really did save my life both times.
