    I was in a psyche ward for about a week and a half and it was a terrible experience. They’ll give you drugs which you’re not in there long enough to know if they work and since you’ve missed a week of work you longer have a job to afford them anyway once you’re out. I was homeless and all they could offer was that I should just go back to live with my abusive parents and I finally had to just lie and say I was all better now, just tell them whatever I thought they wanted to hear to finally let me out.

      Almost happened to me as a kid. Only reason it didn’t is because I caught pneumonia at just the right time and they told me to fuck off.
