AMA: Working in a mental institute

Come on bros.

What's the craziest story a patient ever told you.

What are some signs of mental illness that can be spotted in sjws/numales?

a local hospital psych ward or a state hospital?

How many are faking it?

do you feel like the crazy rubs off on you over time?

you ever get afraid while you're there that you might actually just be a mental patient, and you're just delusional or something in thinking that you're a real human bean?
What if Sup Forums was all in your head?

We browse Sup Forums. We all have been in a mental hospital at least once in our life.

Not sure, but mostly delusions and voices talking to you. Most of the fellows on my ward suffer from grandiose delusions.

State hospital in NC, just built a new one, moving in this month. Don't care if they figure me out.

I haven't. I'm not degenerate like the rest of you. I work with a schizophrenic guy at McDonalds though. He talks to the voices in his head and looks surprised when he figures out other people can hear him speaking out loud.

Good question. None on my ward, but plenty on other wards do to avoid time in prison. Mine are all loco,

Doctors suggest that we not spend more than 3 days a week with them.I spend 4-6 days with them depending on overtime Not feeling it yet, but I assume I will after a while.

No.

what is your least favorite thing working for the clinton campaign?

Do you ever feel like you make a difference? I've been to 6 mental hospitals over the course of my life, and I feel as though many of the workers have possibly had a positive outlook when starting their career in mental health, but over time have been worn down with the grim reality that often people who are mentally ill are incurable. I have considered going into the field myself, I've always felt an odd sense of kinship with those who do not fall under the sane category, since I feel as though I can be more openly empathic with them, since aspects of their personalities are often at such extremes that it's difficult not to find yourself absorbing those traits in an emulative way. Do you feel as though you have purpose in this job, I guess is the question I'd like to ask you.

Ok, honestly now:

How many mentally insane chicks have you sexually abused?

Are there any teens you'd like to sexually abuse?

You do know that you can get away with it, right?

P.S- only abuse the hot ones.

Also, do you ever question your own sanity, or even the meaning of the classification of sanity?

In a weird way, mental hospitals reminded me of schools that had gone without teachers for years, and all that were left were students led astray tended by grotesque handlers with drugs.

Have you ever had a patient that cant move at all but was fully conscience?

Your first two sentences are spot on. I tell some of them that I never want to see them again, and it's true. That means they're free to do whatever they want. Hopefully they take their meds. Unfortunately, that usually means they're sane enough to face their murder charges,

I have only worked with male adolescents.

Definitely. But these men are sick, and whether they're institutionalized or not, we treat them the same.

Not yet. but I'm sure it's coming.

It must be very difficult, the psych field is probably the most fascinating to me because it's so imprecise, everything is left up to interpretation, like a glorified salesman job, the trick is to sell them a concept or a feeling, or even a rote task like taking their pills, convince them through a filter of presumably whatever insanity they're experiencing (foregoing the language barrier somehow) and not only that, meeting their alternate self, the one post-meds, the "normal person" whether they be dulled by tranqs, (ah the thorazine shuffle) or if they're actually fairly nice people, just caught up in their madness, you have to meet these new people after watching them piss and shit themselves and eat it or throw it or listen to them yammer on about whatever, you have to deal with their new selves and convince them that they can trust you enough to listen to you when you tell them to take their pills, and then, since you work with criminals, you have to remind them of their crimes, or at least watch it dawn on them.

Have you met any who really got to you? I don't mean emotionally, but mentally, any geniuses?

Conscious*

I was just wondering what would you do in that circumstance? What if the guy who cant move but was conscious was really thirsty how would he tell anyone?

Ok, I've seen a mental institute.

The woman's wing was full of teenage girls.

Some were very attractive, the problem was they had some extreme behavioral problem.

If I was working there, Sup Forums would see me on the 6 O clock news as a rapist.

Sorry, but not sorry.

Orderly? Tech? Doctor?

One of the mental hospitals I was in, a girl was snuck into the boy's wing. She was a real dumb blonde, literally. huge tits, basically an ugly barbie. She wanted it, so she let the boys in my room touch her. I left immediately, they thought I was a snitch since they got caught soon after, so I was separated from that group and the relationships I had formed. Once I was passing by one of the kids who had started the whole thing, and I ran towards him to fuck him up, and I got a large dose of haldol, but the fear in his eyes was really worth it. I still wonder if I should have just joined in the orgy, I don't regret it, but I still wonder how different my life would have been after that single branching path.

rote task like taking their pills

Yes.

foregoing the language barrier somehow

I have shit against that faggot. We have a translator who directedly contributed to my father's death with the DOC, now the DPS, I am so tired of playing charades. The "normal person" is what we discharge. I have gotten clpped by this man. He is very disturbed. The problem is, he knows he has a mental illness.

Alright user you're interesting me more and more, whats wrong with your noggin? why did you transfer into 6 different hospitals?

Any other stories?

This didn't happen, so fuck off, but nurses are janky whores.

Oh me? Nothing wrong with me, just had my bouts with suicide attempts, a few dozen darvocets here, a teaspoon of mercury there. Just stupid kid shit. Eventually it became a sort of badge, or vacation, It's surprising how clean everything smells after you've lived in a hospital wing that stinks of piss and shit for a few weeks. I don't have many stories, just some memories of falling in love with insane girls, or talking with people who would never get well again. I think the OP's story of the translator seems very interesting, OP, did you mean to say that an actual translator (for spanish or something) caused your father's death in a prison? what do you mean by clipped? You seem really distraught, actually. We have all night if you want to talk about it.

No, it absolutely did happen, Centerpoint in St Louis, you can look it up. The two wings were on the same hallway, and the boys snuck her in. I wish I were lying, honestly. It's a pretty bad memory. I remember one of the kids who played football telling us about his coach giving him performance enhancing drugs, and them talking about how pussy was supposed to smell. I remember one of the therapists/handlers bringing in his stereo so we could all listen to "what it's like" by Everlast, and tell us of his drug addiction. I remember getting my toe broken when I charged that little weasel who called me a snitch, after being harpooned in the back by a handler. I remember being put in 4 point restraints. You can tell me that I'm lying, but I know the truth very well.

u ever stop 2 think that maybe its u who is rly crazy?

sorry for ruining your bread.

how many people are actually crazy?

are some people just depressed at their life circumstances?

is it a place people send unwanted people or people who don't want to make any life decisions?

anyone ever smear shit on themselves or throw poo around?

Did you come here to talk to what surely must be a dense gathering a paranoid schizophrenics?
