Forgot to add but u will be on a strict schedule and if u wake up early/can’t sleep u can’t really do anything but wait but during the day there’s fun groups/activities

if you have the option to go to residential treatment rather than the actual hospital like if you are stable enough for that it can be a less stressful experience

If there is a calmer section I’d ask to go. U will get used to the flashlights every fifteen minutes but sleeping won’t be easy at first. They have laxatives and regular meds if u get sick just ask the med ppl.

It’s different for everybody personally I hated it bc I didn’t think I was psychotic and got blindsided in the middle of the night w handcuffs and a touchy officer and some of the guys there were creepy but I loved the ladies once I got moved to the calm women’s section. If u still got time before you go EAT I became super underweight bc I’m v picky and the food wasn’t super nutritional. U should learn some good coping strategies while there! Good luck

All Imma say is be grateful they put you in the ward and didn’t arrest you- happened to me and I forever wish I just got sent to the hospital..

I knocked on a door I shouldn’t have bc I was tricked by someone (who wanted to get me arrested) who invited me to their door. I was in full blown psychosis and my charges were breach of peace and trespassing. police should not handle mental health ever and Im so sorry you were blindsighted like rhat and that your family member has also been thru it. It’s rlly fucked up and I hope youre doing much better this day:(:(:(

That’s wild I don’t even know how they can do that when knocking on doors is completely normal it’s not like u broke in😭🙌 I had some haters who tried to get me to do something/threaten them etc. and make it worse when they found out I was in a second psychosis. People are so ignorant I’m so mad for you girl. Hope ur good too queen
