This may sound wacked, but I LOVED being in the hospital. I was fortunate that I had decent insurance, a VERY flexible work situation, and a good support system at home. I had been feeling so bad for so long, it was like this unimaginable weight was lifted from me when I was committed. The only responsibility I had was to get better. It was a good hospital with good staff & lots of interaction with docs & therps. After two days & complete physical & mental evaluation, my meds were completely changed (I know. Not always a good thing) After two weeks I was put on a day patient program & was feeling better than I had in two years. Unfortunately I have had some setbacks since then, but have not needed further hospitalization. For me, I would not hesitate to go back if it was necessary. best of luck. I hope you are feeling better soon.
