I was admitted here in November of 2020 as an 19 year old in the adult ward. I was not okay, and I needed help. The only thing that helped me at Ridgeview was the break from my life. A few nurses were kind, most were horrid. I never met with a psychiatrist, aside from the group therapy sessions I never got to speak to a counselor or therapist aside from my intake meeting. Most of the days were spent with nothing to do, I was bored out of my mind. The staff had such a superiority complex, and treated most patients as if they were not equal adults. Time for phone calls was very limited, and sometimes I would go a couple days without being able to speak to my mom. By the time I was finally allowed to leave, I felt so tired and done. I had (and still do have occasionally) nightmares about being locked up here.
