The only advice i have is to be chill and talk with people normal.

Why did you get admitted?

Lately I've been experiencing bouts of depersonilazation/erratic behavior/paranoia which eventually pushed me far enough as to threaten loved ones. Therefore I decided to turn myself in before I could do any harm to anyone.

Thanks for the advice, I've actually actively been trying to do so, but sometimes this shit just kicks in without asking for permission first.

My brother's been in a mental hospital, and my advice would be not to make things difficult for the staff.

Take your meds on time and in the prescribed dose, and don't make the staff have to restrain you, and they'll make your stay comfortable. They're human and you're human, and the facility isn't intended to be something like a prison. It's a hospital with more security, essentially.

Get the fuck out of there as soon as possible, you're in danger

Yeah I figured that would just make things unnecessarily difficult for everyone. Thanks for the sound advice though.

It's just that sometimes I have no control over myself and my actions, so I guess I'll just have to make that abundantly clear to them.

Nice try buddy

Good on you for realizing you needed help and getting it! Many people never do that so good for you. I recommend being honest and letting those people know you can't control your actions at all times they're medical professionals they understand

Thanks man, I'll make sure I do that in time.

Leave as soon as you possibly can.
Those places are not for getting better, they're for containing the crazy. I spent two days in one voluntarily after a suicide attempt and it's made me decide I won't ever reach out for help again, and that I'm going to be fucking sure I do it right next time because I never want to be forced to stay in one of those.
