Dear Bret, in 2017 I ended up in a NYC Psych Ward for 10 days, after I stopped all my meds and got 100% insomnia. I still remember the 24hrs in the Psych ER (before I was moved to a room): people drugged/sleeping, some talking nonstop/nonsense and one screaming. I lost my mom too, in 2016. Thanks for sharing. 🙋🏻♂️
jucapimo Wow, incredible to be you and you survived. I’ve been in psych wards, three different times but in Edmonton Canada, huge difference. Yeah, ER, 24 hours is crazy hard to endure while they judge your sick enough to put in the ward. Happy Your here with us and are so brave to share your heart.
Ahh yes I recall mine as well. Very enlightening. p.s. Absolutely love your guitar videos dude! You are so creative it is truly inspiring! Would love to jam some day!
Great video. I was there once myself. Loss of a girlfriend as well, very similar situation as yourself back in 1997. Glad you decided to stay here. Thank you for keeping it real :) peace
Thanks Bret. This is a very deep personal story. You look so young today. I have had accomodations at a mental health faculty in the last 8 years too. It gives you insight into the mental health system. Make a long story short I hallucinated and heard voices due to insomnia my twin sister called 911 and I also ended up in the not so nice mental health bed. Its not fun. You actually feel super sane after those experiences. You just go with the flow.
Hey Bret, how brave of you to tell us such an emotional and private part of your life. You have given me some incuragement to push through this Day,? Hour,? Moment? of sadness from my dog passing. Depression and sadness suck!
I was sexually abused as a child. I treated all my issues with hard drugs. In 2012 during a road rage incident I killed a man. After 18 months of trial I eventually won but not after picking a fight with a guard day one while incarcerated. They threw me in aggsag. Aggressive segregation. You would know what a solitary confinement. keep in mind I also did 4 tours and 12 and a half years with the Department of Justice in a specialized interrogation unit. I always find it interesting when people talk about suicide. The silly little things that get them there. And then I look back at my own life,,, and laugh..
It takes a lot of emotional strenth to tell us your story. Even if the ,event' happened in 2005, some incidents shape, as you said, our character, our personality. I wish you the best, may wonderful days be part of your future life. - i will stay tuned for your next videos. I generally enjoy your channel, the content and of course your personality itself a lot. Yours, Johnny
Bret your such a fantastic speaker. You should write. You take my breath away, story and all. The whole crew....... ( at risk ). That’s a way terrible way to of gotten help, traumatic, high drama makes for super stress, especially if you’ve never been in before. It feels more like jail then loving care. The medical ppl are protecting themselves from long held experiences with suicidal persons. The range or spectrum can vary greatly. But, for me being hospitalized was a necessary evil to save me, from myself. I’ve been in 3 times ( Canadian system ) in my lifetime, thus far. Am stable now but I just had 8 Ketamine infusion recently. And, help from ppl like yourself sharing your truth. How strong one can be, right on bro. Thanks.
Hello Bret. Thank you for sharing. I find it interesting how many of us have experienced these same issues some time in our life. Life is truly like a roller coaster, We have our ups and we have our downs but in the end we are all the same. Way To Go Bret!
Wow. Brett you’re a brave soul for sharing such a personal story like this one. Good on you brother. I’m so glad to see the obvious growth in your mental state since 2005. Keep up the good work and keep the great content coming
I too ended up in the psych ward for 3 months following the death of my grandmother the same week as my bf breaking up with me in 10th grade. (Only reason I got out after 3 mths is because the insurance wouldn't pay for it any longer) I had a lot of ppl from hs, snickering and talking about that, about me. Maybe made me a stronger person, I dont know. One of those ppl tried to end his life shortly after hs...but ya just never know what someone else is going thru
Hey Bret! Omg, rolling with laughter LOL i know what you are saying and it is a reality awakening moment that i learned with a simular story to yours. After something like that ive learned the vaule of being more patient with myself . Take care Bret! Have a great day too.Amazing video. ❤
I am glad you made it through Bret. It is good to share ways of coping with people to help them keep from ending up there, or even worse, successfully dead if the notion of committing suicide comes to mind. Not everyone is successfully able to make it out of the psych ward. Sometimes they give them medication that makes them permanently disabled to the point of being worse off.
My first day in the state hospital this kid approached me & told me that if he could he would kill everyone in there. Then he walked away. I befriended him in fear for my life lol
3 years ago I tried to go inpatient after my first girlfriend dumped me, and I remember thinking similarly to how you did like I dont belong here. there was someone screaming and urinating on herself/the floor. and a year or so later I had the cops called to my house in the middle of the night because someone was scared I was going to self harm
Been there, bud. Only once but it was enough to help get my head in order. Kind of like jail, you just know that you never want to go back there.
