You captured m, y attention from the fist line to the last

Stay strong in Christ.

Comment from Joan E.
I am sorry you felt like a criminal in a prison when you were hospitalized for depression. One would think the hospital staff would be carefully trained to treat such patients with extra care and dignity. I guess I am naive, since mental hospitals are overcrowded and underfunded. Sighs- Joan

Your story made me feel lucky. I'm physically handicapped, and my limitations depress me at times. From now on I will not complain, your experience has taught me, no matter how bad things get there is always worse. I don't know how anyone could heal in such conditions.

Thank you for the nice review,
Comment from sandy montgomery
Thankfully not every mental health facility is like that. My sister has been to several and some were like that but she has also been to a couple that were wonderful. We certainly do need better care for the mentally ill here. Thank you for sharing your story.

Thank you for your lovely review, Sandy. I had been in this hospital before and it was not that bad, but the instillation of the steel toilets and the solar heated water supply made it very difficult for me.
Comment from Jacqueline M Franklin
Hi, Pat
= Sounds so awful.
= One would like to think people with medical conditions would be treated with respect, but sadly, that is no the case at all.
= Those with disabilities oft-times are treated shabbily as well.
= Good, informative read, Pat.
Cheers, J
Have a good day/evening!

Thank you for the review. It was last year in October that I was in the hospital and I was having severe back pain and sitting on the steel commodes and having cold showers made the pain worse.
Comment from Aussie
There are many forms of mental illness. Depression is wide-spread and badly understood these days. You should not have been placed in a mental ward such as you described. What next? A strait-jacket? Believe me, I have been there and experienced the fear and foreboding.

Thank you so very much for the great review. As I noted on the post, I worked in a mental state hospital and for sure our patient were never treated to sitting on toilets of steel, or getting in a show where the water would not get warm. Patricia

I worked psychiatric hospital for six weeks (part of my training) I think I will write about it too! Before the sun came up the patients - men, were hosed down with fire-hoses. Bloody Hell! Love, Kay.

God Bless you and your struggle and your strength and your endurance
you tell the story with the true depth of the reality of this disease
IF ONLY ;- the keys could resemble a friend protecting and helping rather than an enemy being a jailor
blessings
have a smiley day

Thanks for your review. I was not the keys that troubled me so, as it was the cold steel toilets and cold showers.
Comment from robina1978
The photo of an isolation room complements your story very well. You told it from the perspective of you being a patient imprisoned for a short stay due to a deep depression. You felt the injustice of being treated more like a criminal. A good story, I was there from both sides: first a shrink, later a four months admission. The latter made me loose so many friends.

Thanks for your review. If we lose friends because we have to be hospitalized or see a shrink for a mental illness, they were not friends.

Patricia, This is a very well written story about your hospital stay. You gave really good details and very good imagery with the art work. I am sorry you were treated that way. I am with you in that no one should be treated that way. Blessings ,Teri

Thanks for your review.
This time in the hospital was the worse four days I had ever spent in the mental health hospital.
Comment from Barb Hensongispsaca
And the depression has nothing else to do but get worse. I remember as a security guard, I had to watch on the camerea to be sure my people were okay, I felt like a voyeur. Excellently written
