I Have Been In a Mental Hospital
Most of my life I had been pretty cruisy. Not too worried about anything.
Then, about 7 years ago I experienced my first ever bout of depression. REAL depression. A place so dark I could see no way out. No hope. Nothing.
This was new for me, and utterly terrifying.
One afternoon I went for a drive. I sat and looked at the view for a couple of hours.
When I got home I found police at my home. A family member had been worried about me.
To cut a long story short, I soon found myself sectioned under this country's mental health act. Locked up against my will, with very few rights - certainly not the right of freedom. I truly thought I would never get out. It was the most terrifying few days of my life.
