I go through my experience of checking myself into a mental health hospital for suicide (thoughts and urges) . You will learn about the WHOLE process I had to go through going to the hospital for mental health. I started by going to the ER for suicidal thoughts. From there, I was transferred to a mental health unit where I was evaluated and kept at until I was able to check into a psychiatric hospital. This is my psychiatric hospitalization experience, I am not speaking for everyone who has had to go to the ER for mental health. I hope that by sharing my mental hospital experience storytime, that I will be able to enlighten those who have never had to go through this process, and to show those who have been through this that they are not alone.

Hey everyone, I'm Devin! I currently have my Associates and Bachelor’s degrees in Psychology. Before the pandemic, I was working towards my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. That was put on hold because I have an autoimmune disease (Ulcerative Colitis) that has caused me to be in quarantine for over 5 months at this point. I also have multiple mental illnesses (Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, Borderline Personality Disorder, Dependent Personality Disorder) that I have been dealing with for most of my life. I post videos about living with chronic physical and mental illnesses, using both my personal experiences and my educational background in the mental health field. My contact links are included below if anyone would like to reach out!
