Ditto. Never been crazy enough for the psych ward though. If I ever got stuck in one, I really would kill myself.

No, I haven't, but I came very close to ending up in one. I was deeply depressed during high school -- you know how on those commercials for Zoloft when they mention how a chemical imbalance can cause depression? Well, that was me. The principal didn't understand this and she panicked. Like Miss Karly, I don't like to talk much about it. And like Cathy and BurgerMeister, I am now on medication to keep it under control. I hate having to clarify for people that no, I am NOT crazy, I have a condition like my mom's arthritis or my dad's diabetes except that the pain is more mental than physical. It's hard.

Crimson and Clover · 10-28-2003, 11:08 PM

No, but my sister needs to be in one.

My biggest challenge was convincing myself that I wasn't crazy.

When I tell people I've been in a mental ward they think of me different and assume I'm crazy.

I know the feeling...a mental hospital can be for many different reasons, not just for psychos and people who are completely insane.

Well, that's not too bad. My first time there I spent one week, the longest I ever stayed there was 2 and a half weeks. Lord knows how many times I went to that mental ward in January 2002-May 2002, like said it was just a way to get rid of me. The medications I was on messed me up though, I was on three different strong medications that had extreme effects on me.

And I had the biggest b*tch for a doctor there, Dr. Chandler. Ugh, I wish she would die. She ruined my life at the time, if it ever becomes legal to kill somebody I'll make sure I go back there.

Exactly. It's so hard to explain that to people. The only reason I almost ended up in the psych. ward was because I was a very self-destructive, depressed person last year, and people were afraid of what I was going to do next. Unfortunately, I haven't changed much, but I am trying to gain control of myself. I'm not crazy.

LOL sorry I couldn't resist. I loved that song but then it got played a zillion times.

Titania · 10-29-2003, 07:14 PM

I've met with doctors at one but never actually had to stay there (thank God)

One of my friends ended up in one last year for her eadting disorder and depression- of course she checked herself out after 4 days and isn't much better now.

I know right now, you can't tell..

yeah that's a cool song

But I guess it's true. I'm not crazy... and neither is anyone else here.
