I have been to the psychiatric intensive care unit for three times in recent time. I have been hospitalized within a small area of intensive care, there were nurses one to one ratio with patients. I had patients who were attacking me, but I did not attack them back. One was swearing at me loudly, kicked a chair against me and used four plastic knifes against me. Another was a patient who threw a cup of water upon me twice and was swearing at me loudly. The last one was swearing at me and mocked me for holding a teddy twice. I have forgiven all those who came against me, just as I ask for my forgiveness daily through prayers to Jesus, for none of us are beyond sin.
The bible said to love your enemies and bless those who curse me. I am glad I did not attack back, because this would only ramp up the violence even more. I did nothing, but attack came. Anyway, other than this, it had been very difficult to stay in the hospital. The first time was around ten days, the second was also around ten days, the third stay was 45 days, which was a month and a half. The third stay was the longest that I ever had. I could not use phone nor internet and it was hard.
