I was hospitalized in April, I stayed there for a little over a month, it was easily the worst experiences I've ever had in a hospital

But there was a specific time where one of the staff was extremely rude and unsympathetic towards me. For no apparent reason either..

I was hearing voices so I started to pound my head on the wall and this staff member walked into my room and said, "Esmme, cut that **** out, I can hear you all the way down the hall".

I'm diagnosed with schizophrenia, so when I heard that, the voices said, "He's going to kill you". I told the other staff members what he said to me and no one believed me. They said, "That doesn't sound like him."

I confronted him about it and he said, "If I wanted to kill you, you'd be dead already..." But all that did was fuel my "delusions" more... I avoided him like the plague and he purposely went out of his way to make me scared and miserable.

It was absolutely terrible. I tried reporting him, but none of the other staff believed me. I told everyone I could about him, and not even ONE staff person took me seriously.

I wish I had complained about it sooner, but none of the other staff believed me. I want to complain to someone else about it, someone who will take me seriously and punish this staff for being such an asshole to vulnerable people...
