I received 11 ECT treatments while I was here, and Dr. He was always a very kind man and good at what he does. Yanovskiy was my psychiatrist, and he was incredible. I was in inpatient here for a little over 4 weeks, and I understand and acknowledge I wasnt always the easiest patient. It took at least 6 months for me to emotionally recover from what they put me through. Eventually I left without being discharged. They kept pushing my discharge date back because I didnt want to stop smoking weed. The admins were caddy and nasty to me when I told them I needed to go home so I wouldnt have an emotional breakdown due to no sleep, and tried to stop me from leaving even though they had no jurisdiction to do so. I had a terrible manic episode and didnt sleep for 48 hours. At one point, my entire care team left at the same time for vacation, directly after the psychiatrist had me stop my antidepressant cold turkey. One of my worst experiences with a medication. They put me on lithium, which made me feel like I had dementia. I spent hours a day doing useless programs and participating in group therapy, which they refused to acknowledge was unhelpful for me. I did the partial day program at Moorestown for almost 2 months in the fall of 2016 following a serious mental health crisis, and my time at Princeton House was far more traumatic than what put me there. This Women’s trauma group saved my life and the 12 steps gave me happy, joyous and freedom! Hugs ❤️Ībsolutely horrendous experience. They’re my new family where I feel loved and safe enough to share my joy and pain. Pray, meditate, call other women, get a woman (sponsor ) to guide me through the twelve steps, and get a home group.
When I hold on to those negative thoughts, and don’t just let them go, I go right back into dis-ease and the depression and suicidal thoughts come back. I now know that the negative thoughts create all havoc in my entire being, body, mind, and soul. The depression and suicidal ideations are gone.
Also, I’m back in a 12 step program, which once again saved my life. So, all the ladies came together on the group chat and wished me wonderful birthday wishes! I felt so loved. Omg! I was totally alone on my birthday, due to detaching from my abusive family. I became besties with one of the women, and we formed a group chat with the other ladies. Well, quite the contrary… I’m doing great! We were allowed to exchange phone numbers with the other women when you’re being discharged. I thought I was completely unready to leave. Hello folks, back to tell you my progress after my discharge. Unfortunately, there are no other ptsd trauma groups anywhere else. Of course, it comes down to the mighty dollar. I finally found something where my emotional needs were met, and then they kick you out. The only negative aspect was that they discharge you when you’re completely not ready. Also, for the first time in my life I was able to love back, get vulnerable, and connect with these women, therapists and the doctor. The women’s trauma group was one the best things to happen for me in my life! For the first time women loved, acknowledged, validated, heard, saw, accepted and identified with me. I ever had in my life! Save yourself from major PTSD like I got and DO NOT GO HERE!!! Many other patients said she did the same thing to them, forced them to take medication no matter what bad side effects they got from them, and threatened forced injection (which they did do to some patients who were not a danger to themselves or others) She is the WORST Dr. She kept trying to raise the mgs every day of the 2 meds, then put me on heart medication when the original meds gave me so much anxiety that my heart was fluttering.(I have since had 3 heart tests, I have no heart problem) She continuously asked me how my depression was, after I told her every day I was not depressed ever since I completely stopped taking the anti-depressant. Ashraf, told me if I didnt take the meds she prescribed for Bipolar disorder(I am not bipolar) I would be forcefully injected and sent to the State Mental Hospital.
Some of the male technicians open the doors for a check without knocking, it happened to me 3 times while getting dressed after my shower.The very worst part are the psychiatrists that load up patients on psyche meds and do not listen to the patients! My Dr., Dr. Some of the technicians bark orders at patients instead of talking to them. They are treated like a child or a mental patient by some staff. While there, people are stripped of everything, including their pride. I was unlawfully committed because I was NOT a danger to myself or anyone else. DO NOT GO HERE! I was committed to Princeton House in Princeton, NJ because I was manic from mega doses of psyche medication Drs put me on in a previous hospital and also from withdrawal from an anti-depressant I was on for 30 years.
