I’d relax greatly if this one hospital closed. I think I saw the staff that hit me. At my job. The second I saw her it registered. My first and only thought at the time was “ugh.” Again I haven’t been there in 11 years. It may or may not have been her. But it did look an awful lot like her.

That was a children’s psych hospital until a few years ago. It terrifies me. I don’t think I’ll ever need inpatient again, since it’s been so long. But if you are sent involuntarily can you at least choose the hospital you want to go to?

I know my mom would never send me back there. But I don’t know about the counselor. Do they listen when you tell them you were abused by both the staff and the kids? I mean, those staff regularly told the kids to go after me. I was attacked 4 times by the patients and hit once by the staff.
