I didn't have the best experience here. It took me...

I didn't have the best experience here. It took me 10 whole freakin hours to get checked in (11 am - 9 pm in the waiting room). Some of the staff was nice but the rest were really annoying and did not care about how you were treated. The food is okay but if you get the oatmeal you can put salt on it and it kinda tastes like grits but you have to ignore the texture. There was a fight when I was checked in there which most of the girls in my unit were not a part of and all of us got our phone calls taken away wHICH IS ONE OF OUR PATIENT RIGHTS LET ME ADD, which caused several of us including myself to have an anxiety attack which didn't help with our treatment at all. If you go here, bring a blanket and a sweatshirt and long pants/ leggings because it's reeallllyyy cold in there. Staff comes in every 15 minutes to check your room during the night and its really hard to fall asleep with the bright hallway lights shining in your eyes so I recommend the bed closest to the window. ANOTHER THING: My mom dropped of a blanket and some paperback books (no hardback books allowed) and it took them 2 frikin' days to get it to me because they put it in the wrong unit and nobody knew where it was???? The only thing i really liked about this place are the other patients because we're all pissed at the staff together. I don't want to go back here for many reasons but I'm not even sure if the treatment helped and i may have just wanted to leave and got really hyped about getting out of this prison.
