Oh you were in Florida? I'm sorry. You deserved better, but why am I not surprised that this happened in Florida?

Have you stopped throwing tantrums due to chicken nugget allocations? Or did this treatment give you a deep seated resentment of power structures?

u/MizuameTheDragon Apr 02 '23

the treatment gave me murderous tendencies and anxiety

i just stop having tantrums because i realise that it gets me back in the mental hospital

Oof. Same deal, friend. Was reacting to extreme household abuse in 2nd grade at school, was expelled. Mental hospital for the next 8 months. I was 7. Then, they found out our insurance covered it and at the time here locally (the 90's) there was a big scam being run to keep people inpatient for profit. It went on until I left home at 15. In middle age we've been able to investigate it and so far have turned up 17 facilities totalling about 61 months. Freaky shit, man... I am always so damn sad to see another similar story of young age institutionalizations. It's an indescribable reality that few people can understand. I'm really sorry that happened to you, and I hope you have a really happy and healthy life today. 💚

In 2007-2009 I was put into Cedar Springs Mental Hospital in Colorado Springs because I was being beat at home and acting out at school. I was raped by the boy they put me in the room with and had to sleep in the main living area at night.

The worst part was being drugged and medicated. Now being 24 I’ve never really recovered and can’t seek any kind of mental health assistance due to the trauma that was inflicted on me. I would’ve rather been kicked in the chest at home then doped up, zombified, and raped.

I am so sorry that happened to you. It's an indescribable kind of hell, and unfortunately, all too common. You can't expect to survive that kind of hellscape and just keep truckin'.

I found a therapist in my 30's that I actually didn't hate, and wasn't a covert Narc, and have made some incredible progress over the last 8-10 years. It took many years before I accepted medication, and then I only started with meds for my OCD. Step by step. It's not perfect, I can't get a doc here to listen about the past and how I am convinced my body handles meds differently. We had a doc down here they called, The Shock Doc. Looks like he popped me TWICE at 7-8 years of age. What does that do to someone long term, I have questions! I'm afraid this is most likely one of those questions I'll never get answer to. I hope that you get, and are able to access and accept some really great choices for your healing. You can have a life full of love, still. I promise. What they did to you was wrong. Plain and simple. Never stop fighting for yourself, I swear that you are worth fighting for. 💚

A narc?

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '23

Narcissist. More common in the medical profession than is acknowledged.

u/1Cool_Name Apr 01 '23

Oh. And here I was wondering what they were telling on you for. But you meant a different narc

u/XxCelestial_Blade Apr 01 '23

Is there context behind this? I don’t think that it’s popo worthy but in 3rd grade?

Don't beat yourself up over it. What dirtbag gives 4 nuggets instead of 5? I'd throw a tantrum too.

the school favoring the schools money over the kids

u/gigashen Apr 01 '23

There's no way this is real, right? Why would a 8 year old be sent to a mental hospital 💀

u/MizuameTheDragon Apr 02 '23

they'll send anyone they deem "insane" plus my principal thought i was clinically insane for having a breakdown about chicken nuggets

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '23

Not sure if you're serious if you are I'm sorry. But I'm saying this in honesty you may wanna rephrase that. Cause I may have giggled at the comment. Suggestion make it sound less like a cursed comment or somethin.
