Sometimes I miss the hospital

[sximii]

It's weird. I hate it, but at the same it gives me a break from the world. Sometimes I wanna do something to myself just to go back for no reason, and I don't like admitting it. Anyone else ever feel this way?

In a weird way yes. There are so many restrictions and things that can't be done in there, but at the same time it's a familiar setting and it's a little comforting.

When I spend time with people, I forget my own misery for while....this is why I like social interaction. When I am alone, I am alone with my demons.

After my admission in April, the only thing I wanted is to go back. The peace, the rest, no expectations, no responsabilities, this fealing of safety and no need to think of anything..

Never made me feel better, but it's so nice to have all the expectations removed. It's like your sickness finally gets recognised as debilitating.

I have the same. I hate to admit it but i was mentally doing a bit better in the hospital as well. My mental health just spirals out of control since i left.

Yes. It drove me crazy jn a lot of ways but it was also safe and contained and gave me permission to not be engaging with any of my real life. People would understand you can't do much when you're in a psych ward jn ways they don't when you're just unwell at home. And I really fucking miss the food!!! The food was so good and not having to plan or shop or cook for myself made an incredible difference.

I thought it was crazy when I was having some thoughts about going back. not that I would have, but it just seems like a simpler life. But the facility I went to was pretty decent overall. Decent staff and food. The reason I wanted to go back was just to not have to make any decisions. Life is so much easier that way.

And then….. I remember it's all about the other patients there! I'm sure it could potentially be scary as hell. I had a great roommate, but a lot of people hated theirs and there was even one or two rooms that had five girls or guys all together!! That alone would make me insane.
