Have you had any long term side affects, including mental or physical, from the restraint?


Well I was having bad dreams about PV in general for a long time before I started taking this sleeping med my doctor prescribed. I get freaked out when I hear a siren or and air horn, but that isn't specifically from my restraint.

Also I thought I'd take the time to congratulate everyone. I have it on good account that numerous reports of IP numbers from the PV area of Tennesse have been spotted examining this thread. Don't ask me how I know this... because I won't tell.

But this thread is getting noticed more and more.

Which is most excellent.

Onwards to the questioning:

How many total restraints were you in?

At the time of your restraint were you actively attempting to hurt someone, hurt yourself, or attempting to destroy property of significant value?

So after you threw a kleenex box at the therapist's head and you walked out of the room you were showing no signs of physical agression to yourself or others?

And further didn't start resisting staff until they got ahold of you and began escorting you away from your mother?

btw.. what is the deal with the chicken wire? Seems a bit odd to have chicken wire in a treatment facility.

I was just really upset and crying a lot because I thought she was being unreasonable to both me and my mom. After I threw the tissue box at her and she sent for staff to take me out of the room, my mom told me to please not do things like that and said she was worried that I was learning bad behavior there (at PV).  From the hallway I heard the therapist getting upset with her for saying that and heard my mom say that she had never seen me behave that way towards an adult before. I really didn't like our family therapist and thought that she was kind of mean especially towards my mom. She seemed to like my dad though, but I have heard and read that PV really likes whichever parent is paying for threatment.
When I saw my mom after they had me I tried to back out of their hold and that is when they took me down. Later a staff member, one of the few that I really did like explained that because I was flailing to get out of their grip it is considered a threat and they had to take me down.
 I don't know why they have the chicken wire on the deck area.

In my own experience I know that when people are upset it helps to give them space. For instance, many times I had a young man screaming and yelling at a counselor. The counselor would be closing in on him to restrain the kid. I'd tell the counselor to back off and suggested that we just needed to give the kid some room. More often than not the kid settled down on his own.

Given time and space do you think you could have calmed yourself and would have been able to move back to your destination without being made to do so?

srry I meant treatment although threatment isn't too far off the reality of it.

I'm not really sure. I just wanted my mom, and to get out of PV. At that point I was so worked up I think I would rather have died than go back up on the unit.

OHH YEAH, I just thought u ment there was chicken wire upright on a fence. No there was chicken wire on all the decks and stairs... it was ment for winter so the wood wouldent get icy and people would trip and break their necks.

Given they didn't give you a chance I guess you will never know.

Did you spend anytime at all with a group outside of the lockdown unit?
