I was recently severely mistreated at a psychiatric facility. I was restrained by holding me down by having 5 people pin me to the floor and sitting on me. I was injected with a medication against my will and without being informed of what it was or even what it was for. I have amnesia for about 12 hours of time after that and I have bruises, including deep tissue bruising on several parts of my body.

That must've been both frightening and frustrating.  I hope you're in a safe place now!  Is there a social worker or an Ombudsman that you could reach out to report what happened?

Already talked to the omnibudsman and was told there's nothing they can do. apparently everything was perfectly legal!

That's so disheartening.  I'm proud of you for reporting it, though.  That took strength.

@carefulTurtle6736. Do you remember what you were doing before they did this to you?
