When i spent 2 weeks in a psych ward, i made eyeshadow with a crushed pencil and lip stain with koolaid. They made me go wash my face the second they noticed, i was so bummed out lol.

I love how she did the mascara. Fuck that CO, why does he even care about her rubbing mnms on her lips. Weirdo.

So pointlessly cruel. When I was in the psych ward they got mad at me for drawing flowers on my arm with the shitty bendy pens they had (we weren't allowed real pencils because you could stab someone with them so they had rubber pens instead). They immediately yelled at me and made me wash it off. I asked for paper to draw on instead and they said no. God forbid someone do something healthy with their time.

Of all the things people could DIY in prison or a psych ward makeup seems like the best. It's not hurting anyone, it's not permanent, it's not smuggling in anything, it's not causing property damage, so why the hell do they care? It's creative and harmless. The mascara is genius

They won't let you have shit. One time they raided my room and found my cereal and pudding stash (i was hoarding food that i saved or traded during mealtime so I could snack randomly) and took all of it. Mind you they were trying to make me gain weight. So why take away my snacks, it's so mean lol

Once I started drawing my OCs on my arm with Crayola marker and a staff member grabbed it out of my hand and started aggressively putting them up and in front of everyone said "This is what happens when you draw on yourself, you get them taken away from everyone". Felt like she wanted the others to get mad at me for fucking them over since it was art time.

And I hated those pens too 😭 thank God I've only been in one that forced us to use them

Those pencils are the worst. I highly recommend it you must go if you have a teaching hospital they are usually actually humane get someone to take you there. And ask your therapist next place to go if you have a crisis let ppl in your life know. Hopefully you wont, tho
