Absolutely not, purely cause my brother never shuts up about it so now I'm sick of it. colosseum that, colosseum this, it's ALWAYS THAT FUCKING COLOSSEUM. "Hey did you know they'd flood the colosseum for boat fights?" "Hey did you know how many lions died in the colosseum?" "Hey did you know people committed incest to get into the colosseum"

Hey did you know it was called "the Flavian Amphitheatre" because it was started by the founder of the Flavian dynasty Vespasian, and construction took so much time it was done by the time his son Titus was emperor?

Re: psych wards. I have thankfully never been in one but a family member has, more than once and they were terrifying places. The holds, IMO, did more harm than good.

My one experience with a psych ward was highly positive. Of course I had an absolute Cadillac health care plan at the time, so it was more like a resort than a ward. Everyone there other than the genuine schizo ranting about aliens all the time was some kind of professional. I've had actual workplaces with more genuinely crazy people. Even the alien ranter was pretty amiable.

The psychiatrists were, as psychiatrists are, absolutely useless idiots, but nobody expected more of them. The nursing staff was great. The one remotely stressful thing was just picking your meal from a checkbox thing, and they gave you this weird bendy gummy pencil presumably to keep you from stabbing yourself with it. It was difficult to use as a pencil.

I solved multiple jigsaw puzzles and checked off a dozen or so of my "to-read" list books while refusing to take calls from anyone in the outside world (mostly the absolute scumbags who fucked my shit up to the point I was in there although it was mostly my own doing). Did me a world of good.

Would have cost something in the six figures range if I'd had to pay for it though.

Most of them (from the experience of others related to me) are absolute snake pits though.

You think it's inevitable and good and works and don't talk about any actual hard evidence to the contrary.

That was my point, if Petite ever gets to a point where her only options are willing inpatient and unwilling, first she should choose willing inpatient cause that's a lot less of a hassle and you're going either way.

Pretty much that. It's either going to be "voluntary" or if you contest it, you could be found to be a loony toons nutcase and lose your right to guns and other shit.

Getmeout, you need help. You are going to turn into a lolcow in front of everyone here if you don't get an actual therapist to peel away the institutional bullshit, your mom's bullshit, and help you create a real sense of self and find a real community.

Calm down, obsesso. You're the one cowing out here.

Honestly you nailed it with this post. It's difficult to criticize psychiatry or therapy because the default assumption is that if you do you are insane and mentally ill.

Not really. I've benefited from it but from a scientific perspective, it's only slightly better than voodoo.

It is entirely reasonable to be skeptical of any claims from psychiatrists.
