I was in a Psych Ward once a little after my situation was over. Being and adolescent it wasn't my choice to go, but inside I knew I really needed it and I really wasn't feeling safe at home and I think I was making my younger brother uncomfortable. So off I went with my Mom and Dad to an the Emergency Psychiatrist and after a short evaluation my parents and the Psychiatrist both signed off that I'd be admitted to the adolescent wing for kids with severe depression and anxiety. I was pretty anxious just about that. I went and it took me time to adjust, but actually in the end it was OK even though all the rules sucked big time, but some of the they taught was fine and I got to color and paint a lot.
