On whose authority were you committed? What facility did you stay at?
Something about this doesn’t seem right.

Tell a psychiatrist something they don't like and they have the authority to "voluntarily" send you--which basically means you have to go and if you say no, they can involuntarily send you--which basically means when you get there, you have the rights of a dog (not that you have any rights if you're voluntary).

I'm assuming that's what happened.

I wasn't making fun of the poster, if he really is in pain or trouble I apologize. But clearly the post is not very coherent, I can't understand why the title was spelled fine but then the message was rambling nonsense.

Again not making fun of anyone's pain, if there really is something up I apologize.

If you threaten to hurt yourself or others...they can send you. Apparently family can do this too?

So I've heard.

But I've been threatened with being sent there over a panic attack I had in front of the "professional" because he was treating me badly, it was his fault I broke down and he twisted the whole situation to make me look like I was psycho. Some psychiatrists fail at doing their job.

You're right. The third time I was sent, I can understand...but I wasn't actually threatening to hurt myself. I just told them that sometimes I thought about suicide. I wasn't actually going to do it, it was just because I was depressed. Guess that counts.

The second time it was for running away from home.

The first was for a suicide attempt, which I totally understand.

But I'm telling you, they have the right to do it even if you don't threaten to hurt yourself! They have power.

I am not going to disagree that it was a good idea in your case then. Sometimes it's better not to risk it and keep the patient safe.

I have my doubts about the OP. From what I read, sounds like he probably needed some serious help there. I hope he's being monitored, because he still sounds like he has some trouble.

It's truly amazing that i have never been put in some psych ward. I've known for many years there's sth seriously wrong up top, and i suspect many people i've come accross have felt this as well. But my life is all about "falling through the cracks" in the system, so here i am, still free-as-a-bird, still as looney as a bat-out-of-hell...

Well I think I wrote my last post poorly...I didn't mean that agreed with the psychiatrists. I was agreeing with you that I feel like they often hospitalize people for reasons other than they are def. going to hurt themselves. I don't feel like they have the right...I just meant that they have the power to do that if they want. The psych ward is basically like a prison almost, and they are like the judge or the police or whatever. I wasn't really going to hurt myself, I was just super depressed (in the last case). I just feel like they don't give many rights to the mentally ill.

And yes, the OP does sound like he really needs some help.

Man I'm sorry I did't take the OP more seriously. These are all horror stories. You guys who went through this and came out okay must have stronger wills than myself.

Hm, this dude might say that he's scared of WWIII?

I saw something about it on YouTube. its also related to 2012.

They want to add a chip in the hand, wether you're a good person or not .

I don't know how much of this is true.

I guess I should not watch all that sh*t because it's holding me back from happy thoughts.

Btw, TS, you might worry too much, you are in panic I can see, you have to go to a mental hospital and you don't feel happy about the diagnosis.

Just stay there and make sure you'll learn something from it and let's hope they can talk to you about the stuff that are bothering you.

I know how it feels though, to be panic about crazy stuff, but you should focus on something else then, or go out with a friend/family member or hug a pet. I always do that. or just play a game or do some quizes.
