  • I don’t think you understand the demographics of a psych ward. When I went (technically a pediatric one) it was 50% people who self harm and got caught, 30% people who are depressed and it got too bad, 10% overdoses, and only 10% ‘crazy’ people

    a lot game from disadvantaged backgrounds and just didn’t have the best start with abusive parents and shit and take it out on themselves. They just need stability and care, care that a significant other could give.
    I guess I could be put into this category too.

    the ‘crazy’ people were chill, they just talked to themselves and saw stuff sometimes. They’re not like… mean.

    the ‘crazy’ people that you are probably thinking of aren’t the ones who go to the psych ward. They say that they’re normal and blame others for their issues. They’re the ones who don’t want to be associated with people with depression and bipolar syndrome so they don’t seek treatment for it and get WAY worse than if they went to therapy instead of drugs.

    It’s also worth noting that the ‘crazy’ people you’re thinking of aren’t past saving. They need help too. They probably started off with a bad background and weren’t taught how to take accountability and coping techniques. It’s just really, REALLY difficult to admit you need help and to go through the process of getting it.

    People do recover and should be given assistance, assistance that the American system doesn’t give.





  • sidenote driving in the interstate for the first time by myself was TERRIFYING.
    I took the same route as my first time yesterday and it was so chill in comparison to how anxious I was 😭

    gripping the wheel super tight with no music and still about to cry because I was so scared

    this time ~8 months later I was just chilling, listening to music and drinking coffee. It’s so interesting how we can get desensitized to going 75mph in a death mobile surrounded by idiots on their phones lol
