Wrote this poem while facing psychiatric abuse and my own ptsd demons while in the psych ward last year. I am not anti-therapy/meds (my therapist is great!) but the conditions of this country's psych hospitals are appalling. I came to get help and got even more trauma instead! #MentalHealthMatters

Felt nervous about posting this bc of the stigma of admitting you've been a psych inpatient but honestly anyone who judges me for that isn't someone I want around me anyways. I know psych hospitals have helped people but they've hurt a lot of people too. It's time to talk about it.

Some of the most amazing people I've met were other patients I was with. Speaking of vets, I met a very sweet Vietnam vet with schizophrenia and ptsd and they would not give him his medication, making him take a different one that was making him ill instead. He'd been there for months!
