Fallsfall,
I am so glad you thought to post about good experiences too. How thoughtless of me not to think how this could have a negative impact on someone in great need of a safe place.
With all my bad experiences in hospitals most of them had some good come out of them. If I were ever in a position that I felt suicidal and needed a safe place to be and or get some help I would not hesitate to go back into a hospital. I agree that when you are in better shape it is a good idea to try to find out the hospitals that are better to go into. And by the way from experience, if you are feeling suicidal or self injuring or hurting others try to get yourself to the hospital of your own accord. You will have a much better chance of choosing which hospital you go into. If an ambulance comes to get you usually they will take you to the nearest place or where they are contracted. Occasionally they will listen to you and take you where you prefer to go. You should get help for yourself and not wait until you have no control over where and when you go.
