Episode 2: Inside a 72-Hour Psychiatric Hold | My Experience & What Really Happens

What is it really like to spend 72 hours in a psychiatric facility?

In this episode of The Jessica Glow Up Podcast, I share my personal experience of being placed on a 72-hour involuntary psychiatric hold during one of the most difficult periods of my mental health journey. I take you behind the scenes and walk you through what happened from the moment I arrived—from the intake process and evaluations to what daily life looked like inside the facility.

I'll talk about the activities available to patients, what the daily routine was like, and what it was like interacting with the other people receiving care. I'll also share the emotions I experienced throughout my stay, how I advocated for myself, and the steps I took to continue my healing journey after leaving the hospital.

If you've ever wondered what really happens during a psychiatric hospitalization but haven't been able to find honest, firsthand information, this episode offers an inside look through my lived experience. My hope is that by sharing my story openly, we can reduce the stigma surrounding mental health treatment and help others feel less afraid of seeking help when they need it.

This episode is a reminder that asking for help is a sign of strength, recovery is possible, and even in life's darkest moments, there is hope for healing and a future where you can thrive.
