What Punishment Looks Like


 Let's say you break the rules here.  What kinds of things can you expect?....

1)  If you use your cell phone to take photos of anything that is not approved by staff outside your room then expect them to take your electronics away - not just the cell phone but any that you have (i.e. laptop, tablet, etc.)

2)  If you curse they may put you in your room for 24hr. Then when they let you out they may only let you on the unit for certain times (1 to 3pm for eg) for a few days.  After that if you were good you get to stay out longer.  If you were not good you go back to level 1 and do 24hr in your room.  

3) I have seen it where staff have removed everything in a person's room including the bedframe and only left a mattress on the floor and some sheets.

Please see my Care Plan logs for specific punishments....

Invisible Illness

I wanted to talk a bit about Invisible illnesses.  Myself, I have invisible illnesses and most ppl just assume when they see me that I am not disabled.  My invisible conditions are as follows.... 1)  Epilepsy...I had seizures most of my life until age 27 when I underwent brain surgery for them.  That left me with short-term memory issues.  Those memory issues make learning a new job or skill difficult. 2)  I use to have a scoliosis and suffered chronic pain and insomnia for years from it.  The scoliosis is no more and I no longer suffer pain from it.  The insomnia however still happens at times.  Try working at 9am when u have slept 1hr the whole night.  Very difficult. 3) I also have swallowing issues as well and live on a pureed diet.  Some days it can take me 1hr to drink 1 cup of fluid.  It takes my whole day to get the 8 cups of fluid I need to sustain myself each day and live. You cannot sit and try to drink f...

Forced Medical Treatment

Image
  There was a period where I was subjected to ECT (Electro-convulsive therapy) against my will in the hospital.   Doctors also forced me to take pills as well.  I got sick of taking them and actually got good at pocketing them in my mouth and drinking without them noticing that I never took them.  After months of this the drs did do a blood test on me.  I refused that day and took the pills that night and did the blood test the next day.  Eventually I did tell them I never took hem and I guess they never tried to give them to me again.   One time I was tired of being subjected to ECT therapy and I was in the hospital in one of those high security rooms.  I had margarine I had saved in my room from meal times.  I striped down all my clothing and slathered margarine all over my body and climbed the ledge by the window and stood there for 30min.  When the staff came to get me for ect they called security but noone did anything bc ...
