I’m kinda on risk for being put into one, so I kinda wanted to learn some stuff about how is it inside those. I think my biggest fear there is boredoom. Like, will I be able to videocall friends and/or listen to music there? Will my mp3 player/portable chinese retro emulator/phone/any eletronic be confiscated there?
Welp, touching stuff. Not for me.
Got some problems with touching. Dunno if it’s autism, bad experience, or a mix of both, but now I think it’s better to lie to my psychiatrist.
I wouldn’t recommend that. Is that the Psychiatrist who is currently treating you and is possibly discussing admitting you to a psych ward? If so, be honest with them and let them know what worries you about being admitted. Maybe they can help you find a new perspective.
And in case you mean the staff in the psych ward, let them know your boundaries early on. It will improve the quality of your stay. Usually the staff will ask you about your symptoms on the first day, get an overview over your needs and challenges. This would be a good opportunity to mention that.
Well, my mom’s working place just switched health plan corporation and now I’m not on the psychiatrist anymore. But I guess it would be better to not risk it.
If I understand correctly you receive healthcare through your mother who’s healthcare is covered by her employer, and they don’t cover psychiatry, right? Or would you be forced to switch your treating psychiatrist?
Regardless; if there are financial issues, talk it through with your mother. IIrc she was making calls, trying to get you professional help. It seems to be important to her that you get proper support. And she too will be aware of the issues with healthcare and she is still trying to help you. Be honest with your psychiatrist. You can discuss any worries you have about finances/healthcare with them. They’ll usually know some information that could help you.
Please be honest with them. I know it can be scary, but you will have a better outcome.
Wait, lemme map this:
My mom works in a corporation;
Corporstions in my country usually give a health plan that usually cover prices of doctor attendances, but you’ll have another bill to pay at the end of the month;
Yea, they do have psychiatrists and stuff (but very shitty ones, last one I was on said I thought about sewslide because I liked it and that if i wanted to do it I should have done it already.)
Well, she’s only doing it to keep her reputation. Hell, she saw how sad was her friend when her son sewsided. But when it’s with HER family she just lowk goes “Nah, you’re too sensitive and need to toughen up”
There are three people you should NEVER lie to:
• A medical doctor
• Your therapist
• Your attorney
Only applies in democratic countries with a good human rights track record and functional rule of law
Despite the amount of dopamine received from all the outrage manufactured over the implied collapse of democracy, whilst simultaneously receiving all those lovely endorphins as a result of just imagining the downfall of civilization….
For both, the law governing privately shared info is still very much intact for both.
Some countries never had it to begin with
Should I really be telling a therapist about how the governemnt is making me depressed and how much I hate CCP if I were still in China? I’d get locked up lmao

My point is: Your advice to “never lie” to these supposed “trusted people” is not always a good advice.
Okay. Go ahead and lie to them. Withhold information of your choosing. It’s not like there aren’t any consequences of prescribing medications or performing procedures based on patient honesty.
You probably live in a democracy with functional rule of law. You will never understand the perspective of growing up in a conservative culture that never have any mental health acceptance, and the only knowledge they have is that you’re “faking depression” or on the other extreme end, you’re “absolutely insane” and should be caged up like a rabid dog, no inbetween, no empathy. A system that will eat you alive. They kick out students with autism even after they already got accepted to the university. There’s a kid that has a slight intellectual disability, and people just gossip about it on Wechat, like zero respects at all, using insults to describe him, their family get shamed for having “useless son”, kid just get locked inside his house, never get to explore the outside because people perceive him as a danger.
You can’t apply your “rule of thumb” everywhere.
It’s like the opposite of “Don’t talk to the cops”
That applies in places where you have a right to silence, but try that in China, they just jail you. You’re supposed to talk your way out of it (and lie your way out of it if necessary, make sure your lies are convincing enough).
Again…. Go ahead and lie to them. Withhold information of your choosing. It’s not like there aren’t any consequences of prescribing medications or performing procedures based on patient honesty.
It’ll be on you.
And this is regardless of where you live or what system of government writes the rules. Science will still be science no matter what.
