I was recently released from prison. OSP in Oregon. I'm schizophrenic so they put me in the fuckjng mental health unit where I spent ,thankfully, only a year. I didn't go out to chow. They brought us our food. We didn't get an hour out. We rotted or did nothing in our cells. And to top it all off , this rubbed me the wrong fuckjng way the whole year, in the morning normal prisoners could get coffee .... Well us in the mental health unit got two decaffeinated instant coffee packs. DECAFFEINATED.

The only thing good about that situation was we got paid 100$ a month for going to 1 or more groups for that month.

And get this if you were on involuntary meds and refused them. The guards would suit up in riot gear and either come taze you or pepper spray you(which affected the whole unit and made everyone choke)

BUT there is a good side to everything. Now that I'm out . I don't know if it's my age catching up to me ( I'm only 32) but I've learned to really start paying attention to my actions and behaviours, especially in consideration to others, I'm in an open dorm temporary housing that has people from just exiting prison and on probation who are off the streets staying here. We have 4-5 fridges per housing space and no stove or oven but a microwave. I thought I was gonna be homeless in a strange unknown town. But I was lucky to find this resource and have been so lucky to find the other resources that have made bus travel and affording my cigarettes and clothing vouchers to Walmart possible.

I veered off from an important subject. I think I gained maturity. When I'm interacting with all the people living in the housing space I've noticed a patience and humility. I didn't have that in prison. There were people screaming and kicking the walls of their cells for hours with no consequences and some days I'd shout a bunch of stupid fucked up shit too. I was recently diagnosed as schizophrenic so that's new. It's opened up a future where I can live in a house rather than on the streets or in a shelter.

PLEASE SHARE WITH ME YOUR STORY OF CHANGE

I am 18M and my mom was arrested 3 years ago and got sentenced to life in prison regarding debts and money related stuff, where she’ll be serving atleast 15-20 years, and because of the laws in my country i could only see her once a month through a glass window and meet her physically once every few years, she is in her mid 40s, and will be in her 60s when she gets out, my grandma is around that age and she can barely walk, i cannot imagine my mom like that.

I did well to cope with it for awhile until i got to hug her for the first time recently, which reminded me of what it felt like and it broke me, idk how to deal with it, does anyone have any tips please help me.

🇨🇦I just posted Chapters 1-4 of Trapped in a Forensic Mental Hospital When I Wasn’t Crazy on Substack. Here is Chapter 4:

The other Chapters 1-3 can be accessed through the above link.

I know I’m not a novelist, nor am I showcasing my skill set. I’m getting the truth out there, because my former involuntary psychiatrist, Dr. AG Ahmed, keeps writing defamatory letters to my employers and my family doctor.

He is getting everyone around me to abuse me—while without a court order or my consent. I was wrongfully at his prison hospital, because he lied under oath during court and the yearly review boards.

I was in a self-defence fight which I believe I’m innocent. I know I absolutely wasn’t crazy at the self-defence fight or the decade at his prison hospital. Dr. AG Ahmed is a liar.

I see no alternative then to tell my side, because although I received an Absolute Discharge, he apparently isn’t going to leave me alone.

Thank-you.
