At the hospital I had to be on suicide watch for 24 hours and it was awful, and the treatment once I was actually on the ward was even worse. It makes me so angry! Our mental health systems need to change.
Hey hannah, I really hope you feel better. Even though we were only at the high school for a year together you were one of my favorite people in band. -Heather Roney
It's very important that you share these experiences with the hospital, maybe even share this video. They can learn from it. It is VERY important that nurses and (all other healthcare professionals) not only do their jobs, but do so with compassion.
I'm so sorry you had to go through that! As someone that's training to be a mental health professional, I'm horrified that this is likely the experience so many have in hospital settings!. It's so important to get the perspective of the individual going through this experience. It's upsetting that some physicians and nurses aren't trained properly on how to help someone going through a tough time. Mental health is incredibly important. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing this story Hannah. Im so sorry that you had to go through all of this. It sounds really scary and out of control. We need better understanding of mental health issues, especially for people living with a chronic illness 💜
My friend Amber is always there for me. I love her. She's the one who took me to the counselor and finally got me help. I'm on Zoloft and I've got a very lovely school therapist. I still do not see very much hope. I'm still suicidal and depressed and I still cry a lot. I had a panic attack at school recently. I'm still very scared. But I'm very thankful my friend Amber finally got me some help. I love her so very much
Thank you for being so unbelievably brace and strong and sharing your experience. I've heard from a haunting amount of people who deal with both chronic physical and mental illness that the difference between going to the emergency room for a physical problem and mental problem is huge and the difference in way they were treated is disgusting. There should be no difference in the compassion of medical professionals when dealing with a broken leg and a suicidal person. I hope someday soon enough of us get fed up enough to illicit change in the way we are all treated when we go to a place that is supposed to be helpful and caring and we are treated like we are a burden and an inconvenience to them for asking for help. I'm so proud of you for sharing your story 💖
I watched this video because I've been considering asking my therapist if I should admit myself, I'm definitely going to bring a friend if this is the case. Thank you for this video, honestly it helped, it didn't deter me at all, I want to get better (don't worry). I'm pretty scared because I'm in college and I'm worried about missing classes, I see my therapist in 2 days. Wish me luck. And to you Hannah, you're very strong, for everything you've gone through and are still going through with the Cystic Fibrosis, I know that illness is very scary, and with depression on top of it, its harder to fight off illness when you have no desire to live. The fact your still here gives me hope, thank you for living, thank you for continuing life. Lots of love
Thank you so much for for sharing your story. I'm so sorry you were put through that. I work in mental health and it makes me sad that you had to go through that unnecessarily. By sharing your story, I'm sure you're helping others who are struggling. I admire your strength with all you go through.
Thank you so much for uploading this content, I know how hard it is to talk about. You are so strong, 💪 and you are not alone either. ❤️ I also have difficulty voicing my concerns and needs, and seeing that dealing with depression does not make us weak.
Thank you, big gratitude. I resonate so much with this. I know exactly the thoughts you're talking about. And I really, really appreciate your vulnerability and authenticity. It is a gift you are giving!
Thanks for your story. I had a similar experience withdrawing from Paxil. I had been taking it for years and decided to stop. Initially I felt very spaced out but got over it and felt fine for a few months. Then I started having panic attacks to the point where I was uncontrollable mentally sick. You describe those unexplainable feeling better than I can.
I love you! You are worth a lot you deserve your life 💔 I’ve not long got out of hospital from overdose for the 19th time. Your gorgeous and you deserve everything well in your life stay strong and keep you head held high 💓xo
OMG Hannah! Thank you for sharing. I learned a lot from your video. A tip I learned recently is to dial O on the room phone and ask for a "yellow card" lots of people will show up to your room. An old guy had done this. Yellow card is hospital code for emergency and security and every body else and there brother will show up. No need to be alone and threatened. I hate cruel, sadistic nurses.
You are so strong, you are loved and you are not alone. The feeling of not being trusted is terrible, but you are worthy of trust and love, let your close friends be your reminder of that every day.
I went through a very similar situation two days ago. I feel for all of us that go through this. It hurts to hurt. The "nurses" that are on in suicide watch can be really difficult!
One of my biggest fears is being locked up involuntarily. Suicide watch is a huge fucking no no for me, and its one of the only few reasons why I don't discuss my issues with councilors or my family. I like being in control of my own situation and following my own rules, which is why I always opt to live alone, but honestly the shit they do on ward fucking makes me shiver. People forcefully taking your phone, clothing, locking you up, all under the guise of "We're here to help you" isn't what I fucking want. I want support, not to have my freedom taken away. Fuck that.
The more I think about this, it doesn't make sense to take away your phone if they never leave you alone! They could be there while you use it. It seems silly and cruel.
Thank you for sharing your story! One of these days I need to make a video about my story and how not being open about it almost destroyed my whole life 😞
I just recently have gone through some very depressed and anxiety type of thoughts and also went through a breakup with my boyfriend through text which sucked and he is now treating me like he does not care about me at all. I know what it's like to feel this way sort of. I want to tell someone but I'm too scared to. Any advice on how to tell people? This is pretty new to me so I'm not used to it and I don't want it to be awkward with my parents and friends. I don't know what to do. I just wish this would stop and that I could feel beautiful and hopefully I can trust my friends. I'm hoping this will get better.
Libby Winchell Ultimately, good things are coming back to you. It might be tough to get to them. You might have to fight for them. But you can do it if you remember what it is that you're fighting for - your right to life happily and without suffering. I believe in you, Libby. You can do this!
From 11:45 to 12:30 i think i feal the same way especialy with my motivation the past idn how much monts like if im going to my friends to ride bikes together im not fealing like that but when i come home and have to do homework or study i feal exacly like you at least how you said in the video but when im at school my motivation like goes away for doing anything i just cant wait to go home after 7 ouhrs at school so ya
The doctor was covering her ass. If you'd killed yourself, she would have been in trouble. Your life is your own, to do with what you want. Sometimes realizing this is enough to keep you wanting to live. Like you feel, well, why not see what happens. Things might actually get better. Good luck. You are a lovely lady, and you would make a better doctor or nurse than those jerks you had to deal with that day.
I am on suicide watch at my school so where ever I go I have to tell somebody or I have to be with a friend. I can't be in the toilet for over 10 minutes. If I leave class for over 10 minutes without a teacher/nurse/therapist confirmed where I am, they have to send out a search for me in case I committed suicide. I was in hospital twice both for overdose and I might have to go back to hospital because of my eating disorder. So I got that going for my life😒

I'm sorry you had to go through that; I'll bet you're stronger for it, though. And I hear you loud and clear on that for sure.

💔 thank you I've been in the dark so many times
your voice instantly gave me happy chills and made me calm
Thank you for being genuine and sharing your story. I am with you in this experience.
The more I think about this, it doesn't make sense to take away your
phone if they never leave you alone! They could be there while you use
it. It seems silly and cruel.
You and mary frey are both amazing you tubers. Thank you for helping others with respiratory illnesses
Thank you for sharing your story! One of these days I need to make a video about my story and how not being open about it almost destroyed my whole life 😞
You're great Hannah :) Thank you for posting this. Best wishes always to you.
Hannah you are a strong woman thank you for sharing the story. You can make it through anything.
I've been put on but I'm not suicidal or depressed at all I swear someone has reported me for something that isn't true
I just recently have gone through some very depressed and anxiety type of thoughts and also went through a breakup with my boyfriend through text which sucked and he is now treating me like he does not care about me at all. I know what it's like to feel this way sort of. I want to tell someone but I'm too scared to. Any advice on how to tell people?

Thank you for sharing your story I am being admitted soon and don't know what's coming my way.

I was in suicide once and it was awful. I felt like I was in prison. I was anxiously whole time and I just hated every second of it
