Hi ive been an inpatient on an adult psyc ward for 2 weeks even though im 17, at first it was really scary because there are some really ill people out there. This one girl tried to brain wash into running away with her to her fantasy castle. She was really ill, and i felt so sorry for her, everyone else i met was really nice, both staff and other patients, becuase it was a mixed sex and age ward someone from every age category was literally in there! i was the youngest and stayed quiet. Most of the patients looked after me to be honest. There were a few self harmers like me one was 64 yrs old he was so nice and really helped me out, i talked to him all the time. Being in hospital was a real eye opener to me and since my stay in hospital in Nov 07 i havent attempted suicide or self harmed. i would not like to go back in though, once is enough, i wish you alll the best, keep safe
