locked up.. (isolatian/separation)

[xounstaer]

the first thing which pops to my mind is what my aunt (ingrid) told me what happens to convicts who go into isolation; they go insane.
is what i wanted to say first.

here's what i hope to reach with this post: to clearify that within psychiatry there should no longer be an isolation or called 'separation' cell. or to at least draw some attention to it. (maybe for those who are still being mistreated..)

i remember 7 years ago when i was separated for 3 weeks and spent 4 months behind windows..(i gues maybe i am still not what i was..)

i had a talk with my psychologist in which i was totally open...then i went to my room to take a shower. when i heard knoking on the door. i had to go into separation. after i had put my clothes on i had to walk past, about ca 13 people. so many on the left of the hallway and so many on the right.

the reason was at that point that i had been moving furniture around. as if that is a reason to isolate a person (am not angry at you who read just expressing me)

i spent three weeks in there. when i came out i complained about it at a commision and got my right. the separation wasnt done right. and the medication they forced upon me wasnt allowed.

but literally i turned insane there. when i came out i hardly knew anymore what natural fresh air and clouded sky where, or the sun..

i can wonder about what course i would've had if thay' didnt mistreated me like that.

i can go further into detail(s), but i said pretty much all i needed to open up this issue.

5,6,7 years later i still sometimes pray or think or stand still thinking of those who are in separation or who think of suicide(which i' never will do btw).

(( i am thinking back about it now.. i'd allmost think hardly anything has changed since the burning of whiches))

i dont know what more to say now besides; that i think it is abnormal to put somebody in isolation or an isolated environment, who has not commited a crime. where others who murder (here) sometimes get no detention or hardly, espicially if them/they got a good lawyer or are judged as insanity or unsound of mind. while someone inside psychitry is that anyway but do get locked up and injected muliple times, even when i'or they are calm allready...

i am allready happy if i see it's been vieuwed
i do have to say that most people are realising this what i said and that in the future the separation of innocent people wont be done no more, or that is what the dutch psychiatry is working toward to atm.

i sometimes used to say more mental damage has been done inside psychiatry then in all the wars there have been..(honestly if you or i check the facts/statistics)

you sinceraly dont want to be in a position where you get separated it's awfull:nod

Xoun, I feel VERY deeply for you, and I have heard others who have been under the care of psychiatry to say there is a lot of abuse in that field. Actually I think in any situation where one person is at the mercy of another, there is almost always going to be abuse. It happens in prisons, homes, orphanages, foster care, schools, facilities for the physically handicapped, nursing homes, etc. But the only way to fight it is to expose it as you do. If you and others who suffer abuse are silent, then no one knows and the abuse continues. I applaud you for going to the commission and getting your rights back. And you are absolutely right that isolation is one of the most cruel things that can be done to a person especially if they are not doing any harm to anyone.

May God watch over you and protect you always.

Agreed, that is the LAST thing you need.

the reason was at that point that i had been moving furniture around.

Again, this is wrong.


Fortunately, my son has had good treatment the few times he's had to be placed in institutions. We'v come a long way in our treatment of the mentally ill - but we have more to do.

Again, my son has the same condition you have. He has the additional burden of developmentally delayed intellect (he's 26 but lives in the world of about a 9 year old, and always will.)

My heart goes out to you, and I'll do about all I can do... I'll pray for you again tonight.

Are you in the USA or another country?

Isolation isn't fun. When I was in jail, since I was "crazy," I was put in 23 hour lockdown (23 hours a day in small room with painted-over windows; one hour out to walk and visit the "patio", which was fenced in by two fences of barbed wire).

If I hadn't gone straight into Christian rehab, I never would've recovered. Everything else turned out OK, too (got my record expunged, etc. etc.).

And you're right about psychiatry; abuses seem to be rampant. I've been in mental hospitals twice in my life, and both times were terrible. I've also been mistreated by shrinks and therapists. I thank God for my current life and stability.

Anyway, I'll pray for you. Isolation is rough, psychiatric abuse is rough, put the two together and you have a pretty terrible combination.
