I was brought in mid-December of 2018 due to self harm by campus police at around 4 A.M. The psychiatric emergency department staff disrespected me by loudly gossiping about me at the nurses station. I was questioned regarding the self harm incident and was unable to speak for a few minutes since I was crying. A nurse complained to the other nurses about me not cooperating, being difficult , and being crazy for having self harmed. I was also bleeding onto the floor due to my wound, which I could not control, and the nurse seemed to be angry at me for having to clean up the blood. Ultimately, the staff made to feel less like a patient and more like a burden.
