My stay in the adolescent psych ward

[Biscuit Boy 87]

Here is a timeline of how i ended up in the adolescent psych ward. I was 13 almost 14 and at time homeschooled in 8th grade. The year is May 2001

For the last few months i had been obsessed on wanting a girlfriend. People tried to assure when im older I will meet the right girl and get married - boy how wrong were they

Here's timeline of events

Fri 5/11/2001 - I am having bad day and in mental crisis. My mom calls this crisis worker i know named Mike to try to calm me down. Mike takes me on drive and we talk. When i get home, i get upset again and hit my mom. Being a mandated reporter, Mike called 911. The paramedics came and brought me by ambulance to the hospital ER crisis unit. It takes 3 hours by the time the psychiatrist sees me and by then im calm and fine, so they sent me home. A pattern of behavior i knew too well. I had been brought to the ER before in the past and knew the routine, 3 hours to be seen by then im fine and go home

I went home but that night got upset again and had another outburst and ran away from home. I ran in the woods behind our apartment which go back a mile

I return home an hour later just as my mom was about to call police

Sat 5/12/2001 - My mom and i walk to wait for the bus to go to the mall. The bus stop is located in front of the very same hospital. I get upset again and this time start beating up my mom. She yells for help and a guy pumping gas at a gas station a block away runs over. I was crying how i want a girlfriend and he was trying to comfort me calling me a handsome boy and how someday i would have many girlfriends - boy if he only knew. My mom in the meantime was frantic telling me i need to be in the hospital. These hospital security guards come out with a wheelchair and wheel me into the hospital. I could have ran away but i didnt resist. I end up back in the ER again. The usual 3 hours later im calm and told im going home. I then asked my mom for a soda and she said no, i wasnt being rewarded for acting bad (soda was a treat as a kid). I got agitated so my mom left the room. I wait 2 more hours and tell the social worker im calm and ready to go home. She tells me your staying, they are keeping me. Apparently me getting upset over the soda caused them to change their mind.

My mom claims she had to agree to admitting me with CPS being threatened if she said no and also a few doctors apparently witnessed me hitting my mom outside

I flip out and this black security guard hears my yelling and tells me to stop. I tell him to shut up and call him the n word. He threatens in turn to put me in restraints unless i apologize which i did. I then found a construction blade razor someone left in the bathroom and sliced my wrists. Afterwards when i was discovered i was informed i now had to be tested for hiv cuz of the razor which later came back negative.

At this time i had ripped my clothes off and wearing just a pair of shorts and no shirt or socks. A transportation aid came by and wheels me in a wheelchair up to 3rd floor of the hospital where the adolescent psych ward is. While getting on the elevator i express i want to go down to basement not up to 3rd floor and mention hows theres dead people in the basement of my church and curious if there are dead people in the basement here too (a rumor someone started about a crypt in the basement at my church) looking back this transportation aid must have thought no wonder hes going to psych ward

I entered psych ward and an aide has me change into hospital scrubs and gives me grand tour

That night we watch the movie grease in tv room, then it's lights out and bed

literally tales from the psych ward

The psych ward was one long hallway with the nurses office at the entrance. Then on the left was the dining room, followed by the tv room and then the school room.

On the right was a padded timeout room, an art room and set of conference rooms used for visiting with family

Then the rest of the hallway were the bedrooms. The rooms had a bed, desk and closet. At first i had my own room, then i was moved to share a room with this other kid named Lester who was an obnoxious prick. At first we got along but by end of the week we hated eachother

It was 6 boys (including me) and 10 girls.

I noticed the foids here and try to talk to them. But being i have Aspergers they all think im weird. A few days later one foid named Lori complains about me harassing her. This other older black foid named Angel whose like 17 and had been in jail before threatened to kill me by threatening to walk in my bedroom at night and smother me with a pillow telling me i better not fall asleep at night

Sun 5/13/2001 - we play bingo and at this point i get homesick. The aide jokes with me telling me if i give him a million dollars he will give me the key and i can go. I did not know it was a locked unit until now
At night we watched the movie Prince of Egypt

Tue 5/15/2001 - i go in the art room and one of the foids named Lindsay was in there putting away stuff and she moved her mouth towards me. I asked her what she was doing and she said nevermind. I asked her no what were you doing. She said lets kiss and we moved our lips towards eachother and kissed, just one peck on the lips. My first kiss and only time i kissed a girl as a teenager. I went around telling everyone. Even though it was against the rules, the aides congratulated me.

Not a happy ending though

One day later Lindsay turned on me and began hating me telling me she only kissed me so i would leave Lori alone. She went onto punch me and fart in my face

Wed 5/16/2001 - my mom, the crisis worker Mike, the psych ward social worker and another person are having a meeting about me in the conference room. I walk in and announce to them i had my first kiss. My mom told me wow i never would have thought a psych ward of all places. I also asked them what the word ho meant as i heard one foid call another foid a ho the night before and never had heard the word. The social worker tried to carefully explain to me what a prostitute was.

Later that day my doctor tells me he's trying me on a new medicine called risperdone and increasing my luvox to 300 mg

If all goes well
Ill go home on Mon 5/21

Thu 5/17/2001 and Fri 5/18/2001 - by this time i was sick of the psych ward and wanted to go home. I spent as much time visiting my mom during visiting hours to avoid the other kids who now were picking on me as the weird kid

Sat 5/19/2001 - i missed the town's annual community day featuring a parade and fireworks. The one sad time in the hospital i had. The one thing that cheered me up was my prick roommate Lester was being discharged. We hated eachother so much that i didnt even say goodbye

I visited my mom that evening and when i got back to my room, his stuff was cleared out and he was gone. I had the room to myself that night but the next day got a new roommate named Shawn who was nice and we got along. It didnt matter though cuz i was going home one day later

Sun 5/20/2001 - My mom took me on a 6 hour pass where i got to go home and spend time in my bedroom which i missed. My mom also took me out for pizza and i had my first soda since being admitted (ironically me wanting a soda is what got me admitted). My mom told me she could have had my pass on Saturday so i could attend the town parade but decided not to cuz she was afraid i would get upset i had to miss the fireworks which would have gotten me admitted longer. I return to the unit after my pass for my final night

Mon 5/21/2001 - This was it the day i was going home. I packed up my stuff and walked out with my mom

I obssses on this and remember all this and every year celebrate the anniversary on May 12
