The only real help I got from that was telling my life story to a medical student from the university I'm now re-enrolled at and he didn't even think I needed to be locked up. He asked if I felt safe as a young woman living with 3 male roommates, which I hadn't thought about before and felt like what I now realize is sexual harassment was something I just had to put up with for cheap rent. I moved out of that place 2 months later. He happed to be Russian and was more proof for me that Russian men are angels.
One psychiatrist said I was there voluntarily. Then another psychiatrist power tripped and lock me up, making it a 5-day stay, which was not helpful at all and a waste of my time. That experience put me off from relying on "professionals" to feel less shitty so I made changes to my life like going on vacation, changing neighbourhoods, not dating any more western men, and going back to school. I'm the happiest I've ever been for the past 7 months now and have not felt the need to take any antidepressants this year.

Congratulations! Sad that the professionals who treated you were so shittty. They're not all like that. You sound happy and content and empowered from making positive changes. Stay well!

Congratulations also, if you needed help you were in the right place. Doing the right thing sometimes is not easy but you did. Good for you.

I have been told that I enjoy my own misery. It seems to be a cycle I either can't get out of or don't want to.
I have been locked up in psych wards, but not since I was a teenager. They helped get my anger under control and were generally helpful in giving me proper diagnosis of my mental disorders and how to better handle certain stressful situations. I have had relapses since (violent outbursts etc.). Many problems can't be helped with a simple psych ward though and I am not sure how much the staff at those places actually care to help the people that are there for whatever reason. Many of them enjoy the power I think. Luckily when I was at those places most of the staff did seem to care and wanted me to get better.
I have a deep history of psychological problems starting when I was about 5 years old. Diagnosed with high Asperger's when I was 12.
