im being commited, as in mental health facility, the fucking shrink said i have till sunday to go voluntarily, or they will forcibly commit me, he claims i am "violently depressed" "liable to snap" "a danger to the public" and a bunch of other bullshitty things, sheesh, i didnt break the guys spinal cord in the bar, just a vertabrea, though i did purposly fracture his skull, the police let me go, he commented about homos, yeah he was drunk, but i kicked his homophobe ass, hard enough to break his tailbone,

i am gonna go to the bin on friday, as the shrink said then id get out of the fucking place in 3 months instead of 18, but should i show the guy what "violently angry" means tommorow, break his nose, maybe a limb or two, blow off some steam, anyone ever been to a nuthouse? and how bad is it

well first off I'd suggest not to hurt anyone else.. that will just increase your sentence.

go in willingly will give them an idea that you can controll youself which may score an early release, i don't quite know about that since i've never been to the funny farm before.

I can understand your anger, someone else who deosn't know you and thinking he knows best. He has no idea what really goes on in side your head and that makes you angry when people tell you what you should or shouldn't do. I feel the same as you do. I just want to take the weight off my shoudlers and let off some steam on these pricks that make me angry. They think they know everything and they know nothing. And when i think that, i can just feel that i am better than them because they are stupid. Well people like you and me have no need for stupid people.We have no need to waste our energy on them. You have no need to bring yourself down to their pathetic level,this idiots have no right to even say they have earn't the right to use up your energy. Bashing them would be a waste of your time and more importantly you would gain nothing from then and it would just make them feel like they were right. You want to prove them wrong Dont you? Show them how strong you are but saying fuck you buddy, no matter what you say you aint gonna get me angry.Fuck you i am gonna sit here in peace and think how good i am and how shit you are.

I would so love to be committed for a while on a funny farm. Anybody know how I can commit myself please?

Commit a fairly large crime and plead insanity? Or, just act plain insane infront of a large amount of people, making sure that here is a cop to see you.

be careful what u wish for.Once your in,you have no say in getting out.Acting totally normal again will not guarantee to get you out.

But in the words of the great blackadder.Put a pair of underpants on your head,a pencil up each nostril and answer every question with the word "Wibble".

Around here (Buffalo, NY), I can't get myself admitted unless I have a history of trying to kill myself. I kind of don't want to go that far. I had hoped they had some sort of voluntary admission, as a prevention sort of thing.

I would have thought the fact you want to get admitted is sign enough that your loopy.

What about using self-hypnosis to relax and ensure that you remain calm enough during your time inside to show that you are no threat to anyone.

Even if you show that you aren't a threat to society, that doesn't necisarily mean that you will get out. Once you are in, your life is out of your hands, and they will release you once the docs see fit. Also, you will do the treatment plans that they decide, an hypnotism may not be on the menu for your perticular "illness"

I agree, I even went as far to say I had planned to commit suicide. They told me unless I had a history or it involved a police "incident", I couldn't get checked in.

Makes me wonder where those crazies really are? I'd even be willing to travel to another city for a while.

What I can't understand is exactly why you're being commited. From what you wrote it sounds like you had gotten into a little bar fight which many other people have and they don't get commited. Have you had similar incidents happen in the past? If not then I have to wonder what the motive of the shrink is. Are you homosexual catty or just didn't like the guy bashing homosexuals?

If you want to admit yourself, find a nice, quiet, private facility and tell 'em you've been feeling depressed. They'll check your insurance card and usher you right in. It's not going to be cheap. It's not going to be a bondage fantasy. You'll have to answer a lot of diagnostic questions that I'd like to say will get you escorted out, but, given the reality of the situation, your insurance card will probably get a tighter screening than you will. You'll probably do some group therapy, take some medication that will make you feel lousy and follow orders from every member of the staff. It's probably going to follow you for the rest of your life. (Don't bother trying to get professional licensure for anything.)

If you want to be involuntarily admitted, you'll typically need to present a risk of harm to yourself or others as understood by someone with the power to detain you. The psychiatric attending at the local ER is probably your best bet. As you've noticed, you'll probably either need to threaten to kill yourself or make a credible threat to someone else's safety (and look "crazy" enough to the arresting officer that you go to the ER and not the tank). This will be worse on your record than a voluntary admission.

A sympathetic probate judge might be able to help you get yourself committed, but most jurisdictions will still require a solid clinical opinion be documented for the record before you can be deprived of your liberty. Nobody I know is going to risk his or her professional license to help you get your rocks off. Sorry.

And, for the record, genuine mental illness looks nothing like what you see on TV and in the movies. The only places still using straitjackets are military institutions and some prisons. There are no "orderlies" in white jackets and the nurses don't wear the groovy little caps anymore. The ears of the last person who suggested that psychiatrists wear white lab coats on the job are likely still ringing with laughter. The serious psych meds get you the opposite of high and the atypical antipsychotics come with a serious set of health risks.

Why do you want to get locked up, anyway?
