yeah, i've been 5 times.
suicide attempts and suicidal ideation.
i'm doing better now and haven't attempted anything in 3 years.
mental institutions are just there to keep you from hurting yourself, they aren't really about healing from anything
my mom cared more about my grades than anything and refused to acknowledge my suffering

Lol, imagine seeking help for suicide. Either do it or don't. No in between.

it's complicated. i want to live, but suicide literally runs in my family, my grandma killed herself, it is like a curse. and i have two mentally ill parents.
i understand that it is difficult for you to comprehend, but you really don't have to be a dick about it.

Couple weeks when I was ten. Kicked the principal of my elementary school in the face, accidentally, when she tried to drag me feet-first out of a car. I'd been refusing to attend school.

I regret not kicking her harder, on purpose.

I'm bipolar, I've been to the edge a few times here and there. Got scars, and on like 4 meds, etc, but I don't need an institution to solve my problems. Either do it or don't.

i understand the position, and why it may work for you, but that's not the thought path everyone needs.
for mental institutions, sometimes you have to accept where you're at and need to be pulled out of society for a week or two, especially to get away from things when you're a kid.
again, i get the thinking, but it doesn't work for everyone

I've been in twice
The first facility was super nice and had great food and staff so of course it ended up getting closed down
The second place was so bad that it convinced me that if I'm ever suicidal again the last thing I'll do is commit myself to a mental hospital again and instead I'll probably just kms

I have lived this crazy life with so many different crazy experiences. I have been in the nut Hut twice. And you would think, that there's no way somebody goes to the fucking psych ward and two completely different places in the world, and not actually be fucked up in the head.

However, I am not fucked up in the head at all. I was sent off the ship because of a bunch of wives for my superiors who were trying to protect their chain of command from me ratting them out. So I'm supposed to be sent to Portsmouth Naval hospital to be mentally checked out. On the way, I had to stay in Landstuhl germany. Waiting for the next flight. A doctor there wanted to talk to me and had me stay in the psych ward for the minimum 3-day deal. He found absolutely no problem with me and I went off on my long trip back to norfolk. Plenty of good stories from shit at that place! And then I finally ended up in Portsmouth Naval hospital and I remember I was in the psych ward for either six or eight days, they tried to bullshit me with all sorts of crap, I resisted it all, got out. Almost saw the doctor and get into a physical fight with some of the people he was leading around teaching, because of some of the shit we said back and forth. Plenty of good stories from that visit as well.

Doctor was a piece of shit dick head. Even the lieutenants who were following him around every day, taking notes and learning, thought he was a piece of shit fucking dick head. I swear to God I felt like Reckless Ben and I'm just pointing out everything that's wrong with this guy, and this guy is fucking Ammon.

So when I was in landstuhl, everybody in that psych ward was having problems from the battlefield. I felt completely out of place because Here I Come From A ship, and it's just like a floating office. We don't actually do warfare, we just support a bunch of planes with officers that go out and do Warfare you know what I mean?

One guy was a sniper that was having issues because body count was racking up. I heard a lot of stories from a couple of guys there about their first kills and everything they thought and fell and that was interesting. But the one guy, he was always head in his hands, freaking out all the time. But one of the things that was also fucking with him, was his God damn girlfriend! So she's back stateside of course, and it's been a while but sending this guy letters and talking about shit over the phone and just basically fucking with him. And then while I was there for only 3 days, and this guy has been there for almost 2 months, this girl ends up showing up because she's with some dude at the cipher lock door, and they're all talking at a table and this guy is like head in his hands and the dude didn't come through but he was right there. So this girl, is fucking this other dude, and she ends up wasting all this money that is basically coming from the sniper guy because she has access all those funds and she blew all of his money right then and there. She had travel and lodging for her boyfriend that she brung along just to go visit this dude in the hospital and fuck with him more, and fly right back. She was also wearing some sort of Ugg boots. And these motherfuckers were like $15,000 and he knew it because she had been talking about how she wanted those boots in the previous weeks and months. And he knew right from the picture when I point out that maybe they aren't that expensive and she got something else, these are exactly the boots that commanded the five figure price.
