I’m kinda on risk for being put into one, so I kinda wanted to learn some stuff about how is it inside those. I think my biggest fear there is boredoom. Like, will I be able to videocall friends and/or listen to music there? Will my mp3 player/portable chinese retro emulator/phone/any eletronic be confiscated there?

    Depends, but lying to your psychiatrist helps. If you don’t mind me asking, what did you get caught doing? I understand if you don’t feel like telling some internet random, you probably shouldn’t, but the answer does probably make quite a difference for the answer’s accuracy.

      Two suicide attempts by overdose. My mom found the second out by missing pills. She’s too busy to talk to a psychiatrist, though, and I hope she forgwts it.

        If she’s even half decent as a parent, she won’t forget. I got away with lying about cutting myself, because I only did it once (for fun if you can believe it) and I’m never doing it again. Honestly, if I didn’t have my experiences, I’d probably send you to get help as well. But, I do know that they don’t really help a lot of the time. If I were you, I’d tell my friends about where you’re going to be, prepare for it mentally, and make the most of the time you spend there. Best of luck.
