Palomar Health Crisis Stabilization Unit

I hate how all the beds are close together. I felt incredibly unsafe THE ENTIRE TIME. Only a small coffee table separates us from the next patient!! The entire time I felt like I was going to get touched/assaulted/taken advantage of! There is zero privacy, at least as much as we can get from a mental hospital. Speaking of the beds theyre not even real beds theyre the most uncomfortable couch recliner things. Also I couldn't even get my inhaler for at least 16 hours and I was really struggling without it. I just wish there were actual rooms/space from other patients especially considering everyone in there is unpredictable. Super weird felt like a giant screwed up sleepover.

Apparently they will turn you away if you're fat. Went to ER instead, who never even gave me my regular meds for 2 days. Was discharged to go home after I got some "rest" even though I told them I didn't feel safe at home and was hearing voices. I guess if you're fat no one cares if you die.

Diagnosed me and had me take medication for something then never wrote down a formal diagnosis. A few people had been there for several days and told to sit patiently and told nothing. Wouldnt let me call anyone and sent my potentially suicidal self home in a taxi with a stranger. Turns out my parents had been calling all morning to as when pickup was, and they refused to tell them. DO NOT COME HERE
