Involuntarily committed for a suicide attempt many years ago. I was chastised, yelled at, and treated like a burden the entire time. I saw a psychiatrist once for 30m in the entire 2wks I was held, misdiagnosed, and blamed for being a SWer when I was very clearly being trafficked and abused. 🫠

Coming back to add that this was just the tip of the iceberg but it's impossible to tell everything with character limits. Handcuffed to a bed, interrogated by police, punished by nurses, had my info leaked by an orderly, and STILL more. I left more traumatized than I was when they brought me in.

Really sorry this happened to you and also I want to add that when this happened to me as a teen, they had a male orderly take photos of me in my underwear to confirm I wasn’t engaging in self harm which given that there were women working there seemed unnecessarily cruel thing to do to a 14 yr old
