My maternal grandmother killed herself 8 days after being released from here in 1938. Her diagnosis was “hysteria” but after accessing her records and seeing photos of her right before she was admitted, it is clear that she was suffering from massive thyroid problems and post-partum psychosis. My mom was 8 months old, and was greatly harmed by these circumstances. My children are the fourth generation to be harmed by the practices of “mental health” in the 1930’s, after having suffered some abuses from my mother, who developed an attachment disorder, among other things, after her mothers suicide. Still trying to break the cycle.
Her voice puts me to sleep! Geez.
Where's Nurse Ratched? Can't we see her in action?
Inside E. Sex Assaulted lying on her stomach. For Maui, a house and 2 jet skis.

I'm working on sending my mother there
Mad respect mental hospital
My mother was sent here by the court for murder 1976 She told me stories of others who would attempt to suicide or rock back in and forward after shock treatment. One person was Thomasine Creech who she would find hanging (she did eventually die by suicide) Thomasine had accompanied Thomas Creech the serial killer and was mangled from a failed attempt jumping from a window. I plan to visit this location with my mother and get her accounts.

Oregon State Hospital is basically a conversion camp. Straight men with personal problems are systematically stalked, shamed and harassed until they "come out." You won't enjoy hearing those words 50 times a day, any more than you'll enjoy some horny little creep hovering around your asshole every time you go up to the window to get your meds. But really, your position is stronger than you might think. Cowards that they are, they have to degrade you before they can destroy you. Stick to your guns, boy.
I was a guest of the Oregon State Hospital from July 13th, 1993 to June 12th, 1995. Building 40 Ward C. From the day I was admitted till the day they let me go I was convinced I would never leave. I still have nightmares where I'm back there.
Most people are to lazy to use and understand the power of forgiveness.
