| | Today we finally got to go to Crestwood Mental Health Center. I was scared in the begining because I did not know what to expect. Most of these people admitted to the clinic are drug addicts, thus are schizoaffective. Some people were yelling across the hall for no reason, some were calm one moment and then aggravated the next. Some would approach and introduce themselves and give you compliments. One fellow said that my mole represents intelligence and i should never remove it. I saw a crack addict, a violent, substance abuse, assault, and pregnant patients. A woman told me that I was pretty and that she liked my make up and eye brows. One guy who was barely 20 sang, rapped and danced. At the end of the day, he asked me for money. And he put his arm around me and classmate. My classmate was able to pull away. The staff members were telling him that it was inappropriate and he still wouldnt let go. After a while, he finally did and then he started to do some break dancing and my classmates and I managed to escape. My teacher held me just so he wouldnt see me. This was an interesting experience...Would I do mental health? I don't think so. I will drive myself crazy. We get to go back to finish 3 more days becuz we missed three days. It is sad that many people have mental illnesses. |
