The Misconceptions of a Mental Institution

Description

Taeyeon's newbie list

1. We're not all crazy.

2. Never ask, "Are you okay?" in a mental institution.

3. It's perfectly okay to cry.

4. Try not to get an EDO roommate.

5. I just act nice to get out of here.

6. Don't ask about family.

7. Don't ask where people got their scars.

8. Don't play pictionary at a mental institution.

9. The nurses don't like it when you call the place a "mental hospital". They prefer Psychiatric Ward.

10. I'm not crazy, I just tried to kill myself a couple times.

11. It's perfectly okay to fall in love with a nurse.

12. It's not okay to fall in love with Tiffany.

13. I hate this place.

14. I hate myself.

Foreword

Before I begin, I would just like to start off by explaining that this story might be offensive to some people. It will touch upon sensitive material and I apologize in advance if I offend anyone. I've personally been a patient in a Psychiatric ward and when I tell people that, they immediately ask me a bunch of questions.

So as I try to remember my memories (I will not post anything too revealing about the other patients I lived with ; confidentiality), I hope you can find some humor, reality, and sadness in this story. The only addition is the TaeNy romance.

Please enjoy

:)

Chapter 1: It is that someone that you know you who can understand what you are going through and fully trust that can somehow make you feel life is worth living. I'm glad they found each other. :)

Chapter 1: Handling depression people surely scary cause even themselves cant predict what they will do but hey if you love someone help help and help them till they heal give them reason to stay alive make them feel they worth to continue alive! And i seriously felt like want to slap those people who keep shouting at depressed people saying "you are crazy!" . Oh dude, you surely help them 😑 and what angered me was my friend's parent who was the want tell her that. Seriously, people out there should be educate more about depression!

Although I've never fallen into a depression before, I know enough that parents should never discourage or lash out their anger on their children. I appreciate you taking the time to write this story out as half of it is based on your own experience. It must've taken a lot of courage for you to post this. I did find a little humour, reality and also the crushing disappointment in this story. But aside from all that, you've instilled a motivation, a positive drive, a life lesson to your readers and that makes me appreciate you and your story more. Thank you.

Here's to a step forward on a brighter and positive note, every day. I hope you'll find, if not yet, your happiness! Have a great day Wynteral! (:
