Mental Hospitals

[phaseshiftR1111]

Hey folks!

I wanted to see your opinion on this. Number one I think these places are very clueless. I admitted myself to a facility last year and wish I never had. I can't tell you how disgusting those places are. I was treated so poor. I was told I would get help but I was just medicated to sleep. The doctor there messed up my papers too. There was some forms of abuse going on. I refused all medication so the "doctor" made me stay an extra week. Very sad place it was. I was told I would be in rooms with people like me. They lied of course. I was there for some depression and I wanted to get the extra help. I saw a doctor for ten minutes every other day and all he said was "alright you want to sleep?" and proceeded to give me medication. I couldn't get out. It was basically a jail. I didn't understand because  was told I would see someone I could talk to etc. We were locked inside all day and when we had our ten minute smoke break once a day. (I don't even smoke) They had a fence around the place like a prison. I saw no trees. Nothing. Just blue skies and heard moans and screams the whole time.

My question to you is... I saw a lot of people there who to me were clueless as to who they even were. What is psychosis to you? Do you think it has more of a spiritual meaning? For example I had a guy run up to my face and scream "This is my planet boy!" I got me thinking... Are their brains just fried or is there something else going on? I had a guy preach to me with a freaking bible saying he was the next jesus christ etc. Most of these people were on medication. Well all of them were or they had to stay longer and nobody wanted that. I made the mistake of refusing several.

There were people in there who said they were "hearing things" these poor folks... The first thing I thought was this guy is having clairaudance and if only he was informed as to what it really was an educated he wouldn't even be here. As I was thinking that the nurses would give them a shot in the arm which gave a lot of the patients who were hearing things seizures etc.

The thing that really upsets me and I am still battling this in court. I learned you should not tell anybody in mental health about spiritual stuff. The doctor asked me what my hobbies were and I don't know why I said this... I said consciousness... out of body experiences... etc. He immediately sent me back to my room with my report and on my report it said "auditory hallucination commands to possible hurt people. Patient claims he can "leave his body" for fun. Danger to others." I showed my mom and I never seen anybody so mad. So now I am doing this thing at court because the state thinks I am insane and going to murder someone. NEVER going to speak of this stuff to mental health again.

But back to my original question... Do you think a lot of people who go there really have nothing mental going on with them? Maybe it's something deeper? I see things all the time and it's clairvoyance. I think the industry is clueless to be honest. I hope nobody ever has to go there.

I had a breakdown when I was in my early 20's. The night I arrived at the Psyche Ward of the Hospital they put me on Lithium. I had severe reactions to that drug, unbeknownst to them. They had admitted me for "Brief Reactive Psychosis". The event that put me there was labeled as a Suicide attempt. I don't remember much of what happened though. It was a very trying and stressful situation.

The Doctor that admitted me just happened to be going on a vacation for the next week. So he told them to give me Lithium to stabilize me. That error kept me in that Hospital for a month. I had violent hallucinations and even tried to escape every night, During one bout of hallucinations I almost broke a Nurses hand. I was hallucinating that someone was operating on my right big toe. She was holding onto my hand assuring me that nothing was there, but the pain was excruciating. The weird thing is later on in life I did have to have my big toe operated on and once again the pain was severe.

Once they changed the drug to another one I stabilized and shortly after that I left there.

I talked to and made friends with many of the patients there. I wasn't convinced that half of them needed to be there. Most of them just got caught up in the trials and tribulations of life and needed a breather.

But some of them were so sedated they walked around like Zombies. Sometimes even the ones that weren't severe walked around like Zombies. That happened after they had a Medication change. We were basically all "Guinea Pigs" in their own personal lab.

Very sorry about that experience lionheart. I asked them to please check my vitals because I felt like I was gonna passout on this one medication. (Forgot I only went on one before I stopped and told them I refused.) He gave me geodon to sleep which is an antipsychotic.. The medicine gave me a heart arrhythmia so they immediately took me off and rdered ekg. The nurse came in with the ekg that wouldn't work. So her response was "oh well. Guess we need a new monitor" I told the male nurse I had vertigo and was Neauses and he got irritated and told me to go lay down.

Many years ago I went to visit g.f.s that had committed them selvs to a mental hospital .  One would check her self in , then check her self out by filling out an a.m.a. form ( aginst med. advice. ) I dont think they made much of an effort to help her . They are some of the most depressing places .  As to what some one that may or may not have a mental problem is hearing . If it is a real voice , a being of some kind , or some form of mental illness .  I guess a lot would depond what the voice is saying .  The Dutch painter Van Goah , that cut off his ear when he heard voices in his ear is said to have had an ear infection that made noise .  The doc.s at that time could have crued the infection .

I was reading a forum once where several schizophrenics were discussing their audible hallucinations.  Their condition was under control enough to live a fairly normal life, but the meds. didn't fully work and they still heard the voices sometimes. --some more than others.  It was interesting that they all felt that the voices were spirits, not hallucinations.  They knew that they could never dare to tell their doctors this, though.  It was a fascinating discussion.

I concur....i believe alot of it is Spiritual in nature....I've seen similiar things in there too....or being clairvoyant, I'd see an orb pop up right near a guy just before he'd start claiming someone was talking to him...and i'd see an orb pop up near someone that would just 'speak their mind' without questioning origin of thought...What i realized is that the one claiming he heard voices was the SANE one, as he could tell the difference between what were his thoughts vs. someone else's!

I believe the medical world is not so clueless about stuff, just avoid dealing with any mental or emotional imbalances...Meds, meds, meds...they give you....Years ago i came across a book that spoke of how people born with what we call schizophrenia, were actually trained by the medicine man in the village to be a shaman. They were highly regarded inb their society, as being able to stand in both worlds at the same time. Its only been since we became "civilized" that this changed? There are a few doctors out there giving this area a good look at in other ways. When I left the hospital, I knew there was more to my experiences, & luckily found these books...which jump started me in new directions...he points out that "mental illness" is actually a spiritual crisis or "awakening".

Another thing I realized & feel is related to increases in mental health cases, is that as more people awaken to this part of ourselves {astral}, they are experiencing things they can't explain, & seek out medical help, only to encounter these kinds of doctors...If we are evolving into a 4D world, would we not be experiencing more astral stuff while in 3D?
