Waves. I also had a terrible combination of devastating emotions when I was 29,or 30. They sent me to the psych ward in a regular hospital. When I got there they took me off of all my medications cold turkey,and thought that they would treat me in a different way. What part of taking the Valium,Ativan class of meds for 10 years did they not understand.

I couldn't sleep for a couple of nights,and then I had a seizure. What part of withdrawals did they not understand. They put me right back on my medication. I liked the patients,but the staff didn't know what they where doing with me. This was one of many horrible experiences in my life that I can't undo. It was just a horribly painful experience that I had with no closure. I found those records in micro-file tapes from the medical records department at that hospital recently.

I don't recommend a hospital psych ward to anyone. ANYONE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would recommend a Social Services Wellness Center. I had a good experience at one of these a couple of years ago.
