it all depends on your age OP.
if you're going to a place that serves relatively younger people (and i mean young can even be up to the age of 25) you're going to get desserts and shit. the meals are supposed to be balanced and healthy and your parents can probably bring you food that you like anyway during visiting hours.

feel better; i had to go through one of these too and the food was the least worries.

I admitted myself once during a bipolar episode. I found the food agreeable. The meds they put me on increased my appetite. Also while manic I was eating a shit load of food.

That's a lethal injection chamber in ops pic.

I found hospital eating to be a pain in the ass.

- lady comes in to give you the menu, returns to take your order, returns to deliver food, returns to pick up the dishes. That's 12 interruptions per day just for meals
-3 other docs making rounds
-nurse taking BP 4x a day
-3 visits from the nurse to give meds -assistant bringing me a plastic tub + toiletries
-minister stopped in once a day to pray.

I just wanted to sleep.

Because I had high blood pressure I was on a sodium restricted diet. They don't cook with spices, especially not salt. That made the food bland. On the menu you could pick one item from each category (entree, vege side, a fruit, dessert, a bread). For a few meals an item was missing and they put in a little saying "you have exceeded your sodium allowance so item xyz was omitted". They don't bother substituting something else, you just get less. One meal they left out my damn entree. Wouldn't have been so bad but because of nonstop interruptions I didn't sleep for 4 days. Meal time was the only diversion I got... That and wondering if I was going to croak.

It was actually better than normal bedside hospital food at the one I was in. They would come by with menus at the beginning of everyday and you would chech what you wanted for each meal the next day. I just got chicken strips and some fruit for lunch and dinner, best to stick with simple things, less chance for them to fuck it up if all they have to do is stick it in a fryer.

Breakfast was the best though, I would get eggs, sausage, and biscuits and gravy. So fucking good for psychward food, it was on like IHOP-tier in my book.

Actually breakfast was the only reason I don't say it totally sucked.

Oh also, the food will make it impossible for you to shit.

I went to a private one 3 times in Austin and the food wasn't half bad. Usually something like burgers on Friday (actually delicious), salisbury steak, chicken, barbeque, etc...just basic foods. And you always started off on a "watch list" to where you couldn't leave the unit for anything. Be that gym, outdoor time, or going to the cafeteria for your own food. So they would take your order for you and send somebody to pick it up for you and then you eat with the other patients. And once you get off the watch list you can use the vending machines for snacks and soda and go and pick out all your own food which is nice. The only annoying thing is you only get plastic sparks to use.

I've also been to one state run hospital and that place was batshit crazy but way Kore relaxed and fun with the group of people I was with. We actually had TV, our own personal radios, and lots of conversation time and the staff didn't give a fuck what we did unless somebody started fighting.

The only downside was the food. It was shit...but I was there around the holidays so we had one good day of "Christmas food".

It's hospital food but as far as I could tell it seemed slightly better than the stuff I got served when I was in a normal hospital. A lot of patients have issues with appetite so they weren't all stringent about salt and condiments and such. You don't get to eat alone though, in my experience. Most of the places I got 72 hours in also had little kitchenettes where the staff would prepare snacks throughout the day and there was usually fresh fruit and things like cookies and crackers served throughout the day. If you don't eat then you have to chug an Ensure, which isn't all that bad. Also, some of them had milk in bags. Like Canada. It always made me uncomfortable because some of the motherfuckers shouldn't have been allowed straws.

If you enroll in one of those out-patient intensive therapy / medication monitoring programs where you get dropped off every morning you usually get to eat in the cafeteria where the staff eat, and it tends to be pretty decent since they're also feeding the doctors. They've even had veal a few times.

Honestly, the food should be the least of your worries. Have fun sharing a bathroom with no locks with a complete stranger who may or may not have issues with psychosis. Last time I was there I got to share a room with a middle-aged terminally ill and blind gay guy who kept pissing next to the toilet and they'd just transferred in a mute brain-deformed woman who will never leave psychiatric care from a University hospital where she was being studied. She had hair down to her waist, no knees (like that guy on King of the Hill) and she would waddle into people's rooms at night to watch them sleep. Then if you woke up she'd freak out, fall over sideways, and scream like a banshee.

For the first two or three days you'll get to pick greasy food for dinner/lunch but breakfast will be surprisingly good pancakes/french toast/biscuits and gravy. When you're good enough to go to the cafeteria there's a salad bar, more greasy food, and a special of the day. If you're in there for harming yourself or thinking of harming yourself you're not allowed to have hot drinks (tea/coffee) but that might just be for the adolescents.

If they try to give you/change your antidepressants search them online before taking them.

There are antidepressants like Effexor that can take you from 'I kind of want to kill myself' to 'I want to stab my entire family to death and shit on their corpses and kill myself via decapitation'. Those tend to cause perminant brain damage and wicked long withdrawal periods too (like a year and a half of withdrawal). Be careful.

If you're still there on an involuntary 72 hour hold or extension then you obviously haven't been converted over to a voluntary stay.

If you've got decent insurance and you're at least putting up a pretense of sanity they ask you if you'd be willing to commit yourself voluntarily because your insurance is going to pay more than the government.

Once you're committed voluntarily you can leave against medical advice and, because of quotas, if you verbalize your intent to leave AMA and you're not not some kind of shit flinger or complete drama queen (in which case they wouldn't have let you to sign the voluntary admission papers in the first place) who gives them reason to think you're a legal liablity they're going to expedite your discharge because they don't want DAMAs.

Its a prison sentence without habeus corpus if involuntary and thus, theoretically, should be strictly temporary under rule of law.

Dear OP,

There are many people that can relate to how you're feeling and what's happening in your life. I know I can.
But the best advice I've received yet is:
1. The only validation you will ever need is your own. You don't need to make anyone else proud and happy except yourself.
2. Everyone is lost and scared in their life at one point or another. Sometimes we don't know if were on the right path, and we want to give up and lay down - take the easy road because this damn life is just so tiring and useless. But you have to find your purpose. And that leads into 3.
3. Find a purpose or goal. Don't live for someone else, you shouldn't ever feel guilted into being alive by a friend or family member, or animal. Your purpose or goal should be involved with something that makes you the happiest.
Sometimes things are grey and disappointing constantly - they're useless in a pointless world. But those silly things you happily (and like a secret pleasure) daydream, think, and wonder about aren't so silly - they're what make you who you are.

Most Sincerely,
Anon

Well, he was bicurious, and the other two of us were out so we had to ease him into things so were like yeah, lets go on cam so girls can see us do stuff! I dunno, we were injecting morphine (son is a former h-addict) and it made sense at the time.

The one in Houston, Harris County Psychiatry Center, had an all black staff in the cafeteria and they pretty much just cooked soul food. I'd much rather be in there than in jail because you get to hang out with girls and stuff.

I've been to three different hospitals. The best food was at Banner Behavioral I could order a freshly grilled burger and onion rings for lunch and dinner.You could only do that once per meal. They served a variety of food like one night we had hot wings. Breakfast was always good oatmeal and a donut. I put on 15 pounds in a 20 day stay.

Valley Hospital was alright they had a decent meals.

The worst was St Luke's they don't have a cafeteria you eat in the community room. It's dry or mush. I could not stay long.there the food depressed me so I was only there for six days. Did meet a cute girl there we ate together.

I would start a psychiatric hospital where every meal began with a complementary bowl of warm, mixed, nuts (for those not allergic, of course).

In most states doctors will have to attend a hearing in 3-7 days which is a pain. Also their pay and the hospitals upkeep is directly dependent on the percentage of voluntary discharges (more = better). >>5008647
