How do I write a scene that takes place in a psych ward

More generally, I would like to know things such as the the day to day life and visiting policies. My character would be admitted to the psych ward after self harm and is a woman in her early 20s if that is relevant. Also I’m curious if there’s any sorts of abuses that goes on in psych wards.

How would I write a character with bipolar disorder?

I’m trying to write a character with bipolar disorder, possibly leaning towards the worst kinds. She is a woman in her early 20s if that is relevant. What are some things i can include to be as accurate as possible and what does bipolar disorder look like in an everyday life?

I finally deleted my janitor account

I started using character ai in 2023 and when that got too boring, I moved over to janitor ai in 2024. No one else knew I did this except for one close friend. And to other people, I was a hypocrite. I put on a front that I hate generative ai, I did and still do, never using chatgpt, but I was basically addicted to these chat bots. I shamed those who outwardly used chatgpt. but today I finally deleted my janitor ai account. I hope to find some good fics to read instead and maybe even start writing

I have such a backwards way of thinking regarding children

I don’t want to have children because I view life as pointless and just a means to an end. (and I don’t want to go through pregnancy) School, work till you’re 60, die. I don’t want to be alive so why would I subject that to other lives? Anyways, whenever I see babies or hear about pregnancies I always find myself disgusted as in, why would they do that? What’s the point in making them suffer? whenever I catch myself thinking like this I’m like “wait, wtf? why do I care what other people do?” Idk its kinda fucked up for me to think like that and it actually pisses me off that I do this.

If this is accurate, could this be why I always feel so shitty?

15F according to my app, my period is always a few days later than it should be (id update daily with having no period and it pushes the predicted period back until I log it.)

if the luteal phase markings is accurate, does that mean my period always being late extends my luteal phase where I assume is the period where women are down and in a bad mood?
