I got sectioned for the first time on a ward a few years ago following a break up, both my dogs dying, being arrested/set up.
It would have maybe been OK but the crazy black supposed Christian psych who was involved in my care (or lack off) happens to be the son of a non blood relative ‘family’ member who raped me then fled off home to S.A when I was four.
Him, and two other psychs did the sit up sit down game with me.... which is just before they go to section you they each individually sit up and down ... which doesn’t sound much but is an awful experience.
i stood up about 10 times wanting to kill the psych, then there all doing this game of musical chairs with me sniggering amongst themselves. Whilst alone in the room with them he told the social workers taking notes “my dad raped him when I was a boy’.
Many a psychological trick was played on me during my stay... everything I said was written down, I was placed next to the most anxious vulnerable patient there who was autistic and thus reminded me of my brother. I was spoken to in my sleep , things I recall are ‘lazy git you will talk to us’ ..then the next morning I’d recall random nightmares like my mother has been arrested in Tesco =/
they left the news on the television 24.7 which is torture on section/bail,,,, apparently they lost the remote.
whilst back in the community a different psych was allocated to me, he was present during the sit-up sit down ordeal , I said he could visit me in the car so I didn’t have to go to there centre where they have access to social security and whatnot..
I get in the car with him and bluntly says...lazyG have you ever been raped?!
I said I believe so, by a big black man when I was four.
his face knew it all.
he said but your parents don’t believe you? No I said... he looked a bit disgusted.
One woman even left her job as an OT there as she witnessed what was going on.
Madness
