all “asylum” based horror: some guy obsessed with god and christian religion, some random dude facing a wall and talking to himself, ~~~i bet u thought a patient did this but in fact the doctors were doing evil experiments ooho how subversive~~~~, some dude laughing alone, writing on the wall about “them” or also about god, writing is all in blood somehow, a really buff patient out to kill you for absolutely no reason, if there’s a girl she sings a lot and acts like a toddler

me: i get it u have no imagination

ppl are tagging this outlast but this is literally like 20 different games and movies this is not one single callout it is a genre wide challenge

As someone who’s been to the psych ward multiple times, let me share some stories.

There was someone who was old enough to be in the adult ward, but had dementia and thought they were a teenager. They were super cool, even though I didn’t know them long.

There was a religious girl there who talked about her religion openly. She actually really helped me with recognizing when my bad thoughts were creeping up on me.

There were multiple people who had hallucinations and interacted with them. Though I didn’t get to talk with a lot of them, they were all pretty cool.

The paranoid one, scared of “them”? That was me, for a while.

There were people there who had homicidal thoughts too, and they were still cool people trying hard to fight through every day.

So, these are all VERY EXAGGERATED STEREOTYPES

I know that’s beside the point of this post, but I just like talking about stories from the hospital. And it’s always good to remind people that the mentally ill ARE PEOPLE.
