As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. The UK and OFCOM has singled out this community and have been focusing its censorship efforts here. It takes a good amount of resources to maintain the infrastructure for our community and to resist this censorship. We would appreciate any and all donations.

I've heard it's like a nazi concentration camp
It is incredibly boring and I was thrown in with delinquents and drug offenders. I also didn't fit in there either. I don't fit in anywhere. I had a roommate who literally said nothing and seemed like a general piece of shit. I did puzzles all day and talked to people I didn't want to talk to. Forced to take drugs from an overworked psychiatrist who diagnosed me with the wrong things. Overall just prison but the lite version.
I've been arrested (for driving a moped without a license, believe it or not ) and in a mental hospital. The hospital was 10x worse. In the hospital you are treated as subhuman, in prison you are treated as the lowest form of human scum, but human still.
@creatureoflight I think it depends where you go and what your specific case is. I've never taken medication and when I went in I told them I would not be taking medication. When you're first admitted they give you a pamphlet with your rights and everything, and I think most people don't read it. I read it inside and out and it said I could get a lawyer without cost. So I got in touch with her immediately. I *think* because of that step, and because I seemed very sane (the nurses were asking me why the hell I was there and that I should not be there), when I refused medication the doctors said ok and didn't push for me to take it.
It wasn't the same for other people though. Once you prove you are a potential harm to yourself or others (even talking back counts so be aware of this), they can say you are a threat and force you to take meds, and if you don't, they strap you down and inject you. It's a nightmare.
It depends on the facility, and country, in which you are sectioned. What little experience I have had with one was not horrible. Based on the one to which I admitted myself for a short stay, and those where I have visited others: insomuch as people end up there while under significant stress, the experience only adds to it. If you are looking for an option other than a MHF in the US, you might consider one of the peer operated respite centres. Depending on what state you are in, you may have to already be in the mh system to be admitted, but generally you cannot mention being suicidal. Like MHFs, they are there primarily to keep you coming back, as you represent revenue, but they afford you great deal more autonomy.
Again, that was the particular hospital I went to. I see other people on this website having access to the internet while they are still in the hospital. We weren't allowed access to anything. So it depends on where you go, but yeah, either way it's probably better to avoid them!That sounds really scary, I hope I never end up there!

what happens if the patients didn't take their medication?
what happens if the patients didn't take their medication?
Which is fucking bs and should be illegalIf they sectioned they can't refuse it they would just get they team restrain you and inject you but if informal patient you can refuse treatment
This shit is what pisses me off you get sent to these places for wanting to die. Then you get treated horrible and get put through awful treatment and then come out even worse. The bad treatment in mental hospitals needs to stop. It is so fucked up how bad some facilities are. Then when you get out and say anything people think your crazy. They need to fix the mental health system and not hire sociopaths that get off on hurting people and hire people that are actually compassionate and give a shit and stop throwing random pills down peoples throat like they don't have any say. I'm thankful I've never been to a bad facility but I wish these places got investigated because the shit I read is horrible and it needs to stop.
Oh If I ever got put into a bad facility and they were doing bad shit I would threaten them. I don't like to let things go when it comes to things like that.I been in there 4 months they love takeing mick out of patients I had enough of those places so I started threatening them and then they soon discharged me and banned me from the hospital.
