YAY for ice cream!!! :-D

I am certainly grateful that there was a seclusion room for that guy. I was more or less on a ward for people with depression and bi-polar. They moved that guy to a ward for people with more difficult situations. Seclusion is definately not a bad thing. If it were not for the seclusion room a lot more people might have been hurt. The good part was they brought everyone ice cream when things settled down.

I agree Nancy, his photos should definitely be in a gallery, great photography here.

This poor soul looks like i feel overworked and under paid.

AMM -

Situations like that, although not necessarily to that extreme, happen all the time in a psych facility. I'm more than grateful that we have seculsion rooms for some of the patients that might need a "time out" until the meds kick in.

Short ansewr, they recycled through the system eventually.

i wish i could see things like this! im so unfortunate :( they just knock everything down here....

AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!....... creepy

are those....ashes!?

that tub needs some draino

I was hospitalized for depression. During the time I was there they brought in someone that was obviously very disturbed. He busted out a window and stabbed the guard in the eye with a shard of glass. He also used a large shard to cut the throat of the guard. I am more than glad there was a seclusion room to put that guy in. I was never so afraid in my life! The guard required many hours of surgery but he pulled through.

And the title of the picture is LOVE; which is what everyone needs or longs for. Thank-you, Motts.

So where do you sleep, someone, on the bare floor?

And the next life will be what? Rubble?

There are places all over the United States that are totally abandoned. The way they are furnished, it looks like some of the people just got in their car, took off, and never came back. I have a lot of books on abadoned dwellings.
