Hey blades so heres my story.. I have an anger problem, only at my father and mother though. It started about 3 years ago around the same time I started to smoke bud. I think it's from years of abuse from my father as he had maniac depression for 30+ years without realising and he was a very abusive (physical and verbal) man to me when i was growing up and I was very frightened of him. he has only recently started to get help for it. Anyway this is how i ended up in a mental ward. It wasn't straight jacket type but where you are free to do whatever but you cannot leave and you have to follow certain rules while getting help. It's where the mental people (sounds bad but can't put it any other way) go before they get released. I had an arguement with my father and I ended up smashing shit and threatening him and the cops were called and they took me to the hospital thinking i was depressed (which i'm not) and they found that out. I have to admit being in that place has changed my life, i met some of the most amazing people in there and got a lot of good advice from them all. I'm forced to go to counciling for my anger which i want to do anyway. Now that i'm out, i'm so calm to my parents. I barely use to talk to them before but now i can have a laugh and a good chat with them. I'ts great. I'm not angry anymore. I'm just wondering though, could of bud caused my anger? I'm taking a break from bud untill i have everything sorted. But i wonder if i should smoke again or not? I'd appreciate if any blades could answer my question. and if anyone wants details while i was in the mental ward, what it was like etc just let me know.
I have no idea if bud could make anger worse, I've never heard of anything like that. Do you drink a lot? I've only ever heard it to be associated with alcohol, but I'm no expert so I could be wrong.
i was in a physciatric hospital as an involountary patient.. google it, i live in australia. it's different here remember. the police signed me into the hospital and that's how i ended up there.
I don't think bud has anything to do with it. But I will say sometimes just being able to talk to someone makes things SO MUCH BETTER. My dad is an Alcoholic, and a couple of years ago I started going to Al-Anon and just being able to speak about my problems, and knowing that I wasn't alone, helped me a Great deal. However I don't think stopping smoking until you get this under control is a bad idea. Keeping a clear mindset is always a good thing.
[quote name='"Gimmie a Puff"']lol, really yoda? i am 18. just turned actually. i joined when i was 16.[/quote] Well why don't you tell mods some more about your bannable offenses lol. I had a buddy who went to a mental hospital, but he got laced with a really bad joint. Crazy after that.
yeah true, i was thinking that as well. thanks for the reply man. It really has helped talking about it. I have never talked with anyone before and I think it finally caught up with me.
I read once of a mod who joined when he was under 18? is it an offence to admit i joined underage lol? all i'm doing is asking for some advice And true, that's shit man.
It happens man. It took a really BIG fight on thanksgiving day about 3 years ago for me to finally go a get help. Never thought being the son of an alcoholic was something I needed to get help for. Always thought he was the one who needed help. And I can totally relate to the depression part. Depression runs in my family on my Dad's side and while I am able to keep in under control, my dad turned to drinking when he was young to fix it. Just gotta keep your head in the game and stay up bro. And Above ALL ELSE, talk with your dad about it if you can.
I never thought i would need help as well. I will have a go at talking to him. Thanks a ton man. You have really helped.
I was in PPI (Pennsylvania psychiatric institute) when I was for 15 for a week. I had my 16th birthday in there. Just like the ward you said you were at. They made me wear scrubs and when they wouldn't give me my clothes, I didn't do anything or talk to anyone, then they gave me my shit and I participated. Fun place. Cool people. You have to consent to signing in
Yeah, there are some pretty awesome people in these places. One guy pretty much took me under his wing and gave me the best advice i could ever get and helped me so much. The systems are fucked though. and some nurses just fuck with patients, it's just so wrong.
Dude in my hospital everything was bolted to the floor in our rooms except the chair that went with the desk and I'm walkin by this one kids room and I hear yelling and of course the first thing I see fly out of his door is a chair. They actually had to forcefully give some kids shots because they wouldn't take pills. And yah some nurses do fuck with patients. I went outside like once that whole week. Felt weird to get out and to go eat Taco Bell once I was out. And good luck with your father issues man.
Australia must be different, because I didn't consent. The police signed me into the hospital (like when somone is suicidal etc.) i'ts called something but i can't remember what it is. But because they did, only a doctor could say when i could be released. I'm actually very glad It happened though. I'ts helped me so much.
Yah I was suicidal and they asked me if I wanted treatment, so I figured why not, and I got help and it was actually awesome.
My hospital was way different to that, you shared a room with another patient, you had certian rules and that but you were free to do whatever in the hospital. you could watch tv, go have cigs in the courtyard, play boardgames and shit to pass time, you could wear your own clothes and that as well. no one was really out of control in the part i was at because if you were you would just end up in the padded rooms. Thanks man, i appreciate it.
