  • I guess it was like a fortress, they were very good about making sure no one had anything especially anything they could possibly communicate with the outside world. or harm themselves with. it was like a prison and the staff treated you as such. there was no leaving. the bars on the windows were a nice touch. i was surprised they even had windows as glass was a thing you could kill yourself with. i couldn't even have staples in paperwork, paper clips, writing utensils except a small stubby pencil...etc. everything was a weapon to them. I refused to ever go back to this place. I tried as much outpatient as possible till i got better. it makes me avoid ever wanting to go to a place like this again. its been almost 10 years
