y'all need to stop calling it a "mental institution"
it's just a hospital. it is literally part of a hospital.

The actual term is mental facility. It isn't just used for "crazy" people (a word we psych majors loath). Are they sometimes part of a hospital? Yes. But not all of them are.

uhhh. facility =/= institution.

also i know that crazy is a gross word cuz im one of those "crazy" people whos been to the "mental institution" multiple times. rolleyes

the terms "mental ward", "psych ward", "loony bin", "nut house", normally bring up negative & untrue stereotypes dealing with behavioral centers. ive met people who honestly believe they still use straight jackets as common practice. //straight jackets// like cmon its 2014 stop.

so people going around spouting things out like that gross me out but thanks for lecturing me on places ive been to i guess.

it was pointing out the fact you were a psych major while correcting me that made me feel like i was sitting at a lecture tbh.

but like i said the word "facility" is not the same as the word "institution".

people hear "i needed to use the facility" and it's like oh, thats okay!
people hear "i was institutionalized" and it's like OMG ARE U VIOLENT... DONT COME NEAR ME....

word choice = a lot.

i wasnt giving another term. i wasnt asking for the correct definition.

like idek what u want me to say you gave me an answer to a question i didnt ask.

but i'll apologize for being passive aggressive thats my b. i'm not in a good place right now sorry bruh emotion_brofist

hey, if you're not suicidal make sure to cut in locations that secrete less blood. Like don't cut on your lower arms or anything.

and no idea. New Jersey is the complete opposite.
