Let Me Out!

EEK!!!! I almost fell out of my chair!!! I wasn't expecting this!!!!

And now it's time for people to write in and talk about the poor suffering tormented "mental patient" who obviously drew this in his or her agony whilst locked cruelly (and for many a long month, prolly without food or water the entire time) in seclusion, not realizing that we never exactly leave people with a set of paints if they need to be in a seclusion room.

You..... you don't??? How cruel! ;-)

Duh, Jude! Didn't I just explain that the word "pain" makes up most of the word "paint"?

I . . . I guess, then, that you really thought we WERE that cruel to give people PAINt sets in the seclusion room.

[choked sob]

So Lynne, does that make your patients tortured artists?

They also fed the patients paintballs. When the outer shell dissolves in their stomach acids it fills their tummies with LEAD PAINt. Imagine the tummy rumbles they had from that, and they didn't have toilet paper either.

I am a good psychologist. I won't torture my clients by giving them PAINt sets. [said smugly and primly]

Paint ball lunches! Oh no!
But Lynne that wasn't drawn by a patient with paint! It was drawn with the abused patients own blood that the evil orderlies spilled while beating them just for fun! With their last bit of strength the innocent patient victim (put unfairly into the hospital due to a stuttering problem) drew that painting an then died alone in that litle room. Their body was hidden under the floor boards where it still rots today!
Don't think I don't know!


LOL this is a joke by the way. :)

**hugs Lynne**

You know, everytime I think I have a take on Lynne, she turns around and blows me away. Your the woman, Lynne.

well it's probably written in blood anyway lol

I think it would be more interesting if it said " Let me In " !!!!

I would have drawn something cheerier, like Wooly Willy.

Now that I think about, maybe that was painted by a cruel staff member to antagonize a patient.

*listens*

I think I hear art critics applauding...

this looks just like somthing i found on the bathroom wall at my highschool

nice shot

It's you looking at me looking at you looking at me. I wuv you funny face.

imagine if that person was STILL in that room

(evil laugh)

I'm with Silkster on this one, I'll bet the real fun was going on inside the room.

lol Grifspop... :-)

mabey it just wants out of the photo frame i feel so sorry for it

I have to ask you lynne. Do you really believe that no food or water bit? God i hope not, or you obviously have alot to learn about psychology. Patients are put into seclusion for safety reasons not for punishment. More so now than then granted. To not give patients access to food, water, toilet, etc. is not only illegal it is inhumane. The laws and medications have changed and improved so much that extreme cases of people in seclusion for long periods of time are rare. At least at the mental hospital that i work at. It can be a long process to get Dr.'s orders to even lock someone in seclusion and that is after all other interventions have failed.
And as far as the having paint sets in seclusion, you'll be singing a different tune when you have to explain to a family
how you gave someone the tools to hurt themselves or others. So many bad things could happen as a result of that.
I could tell you some stories.

Welcome, Shawn. You're new around these parts, aren't you? :-)

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm!! DR SHAWN!!!

Thank you for the welcome.
A friend that i work with showed me this excellent site.
Sorry i was blasting you Lynne, maybe i should have kept my mouth shut!
I guess i take things too seriously.
: )
I'll play nice from now on.

Dr. Shawn, Thats a good one.
Sometimes i think the only difference between me and the patiens is i have the keys to get out. Don't tell my bosses.
They will put me on the other side of the desk.
Just jokes. : )
It is a rewarding job, helping people, but it can get pretty stressful at times, with all the spitting, punching, yelling, threatining, and even some broken bones.
HAVE A HAPPY WEEKEND EVERYONE!!!!!!

I like this guy, please don't take it the wrong way shawn!!! Welcome!!!

Thanks Tom Tom.
Since i was shown this site i have become addicted to it.
It's pretty cool to see all these wonderful photographs and communicate with all you (understanding) starangers. :-)
I don't know much about this site though.
How often do new photos come out?

haha I feel extrememly dumb reading all these comments.

1000+ Hours in MS Paint

Yeah, that was DEF not a patient.

No wonder they closed!

i been to this place a lot of times some kids just drew that on the wall its obvious but it is really creepy

I think it's funny.

by looking at the pciture i don't think that's not paint.. looks more like a fat tipped pernamet marker ( you can tell that by the fat vertical lines and the "dot" that is made when each line is ended) probablly some teens got in a wrote that...

Just commenting on the fact that the person would indeed die without water in about 4 days.

OMG!!!!!!! SCARY!!!!!!!!!! CREEPS!!!!!!!

Interesting.

wow... someone's sense of humor is a wee bit morbid, lol

Thats definately no Paint. Thats Blood. From Being Beating Poeple say... But havnt you Ever Heard of self Harm.

At Met State nurses would routinely put patients in seclusion for ridiculous random reasons though they would sometimes let me hang out in "the quiet room" when things got too crazy on the ward.

awsome pic!!

In 1981 I was attending Concord Academy in Concord Ma. and ended up for two weeks behind one of those doors being pumped full of Thorazine because they couldn't understand my spiritual insights. It was the most hellish and terrifying experience I ever had in my life. Luckily my father drove up from Vermont and rescued me.

There was obviously great cruelty and pain here as you can see

Steve, that's beyond the merely creepy. Has that kind of thing gone away in 30 years? Lynne?
