Truth in the Psych Ward
March 4, 2021 | By Serena Riddle BF ‘21
Trigger warning: Suicide, self-harm
The ER was overbooked, as it tends to be these days, so I was put in one of many beds lining the hallway by the nurses’ station. From my position, I could see and hear the rest of the folks in my section, which gave me something else to meditate on for those 14 hectic hours other than my own miseries. Almost every patient around me was in for depression or suicidal ideation, too
