I sometimes miss the mental hospital?

14 Comments

Earlier this year, I went to the mental hospital because I was really depressed, trying to cut my wrists. Anyway, I went there on my own. At first I was nervous because everyone there was older than me, but as it turned out, most of them were nice, I even made a friend with this one woman there who was a mom, she was really nice.

I know it's weird, but after being there awhile, I sorta saw all the people there as my family, well, most of them, there were a few people there I didn't care for.

Anyway, I was only there for a week, but I sometimes miss it... I don't know, it's like I left a second home of mine, or something. I suppose I miss the people more than the actual hospital.

Is it normal?

    I have had the thought that it might be nice to go at times, but I have heard too many horror stories of those places and try to stay away due to those stories. It would be nice to have a room away from society for a while where I can play guitar all day and hang out with the other psychos, but I would probably never be let out if I went because I would not react well to forced treatments and agressive doctors.

      Well, if it makes you feel better, the hospital I went to had a rather nice staff who would often joke around and cut up, and not once was I ever "forced" any medication, but that was perhaps because I didn't fight it, I always took my medicine. The other patients there did cause some drama, but nothing serious (like gossip), there were a few arguments where people got loud, but still, the staff would just try to calm them down (no force injections.)

      I'm sure there are hospitals out there that are much more rougher and more scary, I'm not saying there aren't, but there are some nice ones too.

    Those places are meant to be comforting...imagine if you went to a ward in the late 1930s to 1950s. They were literally torture chambers. Complete 180 compared to mental health treatments today. Maybe you could do outpatient a couple times a week and form a bond on the outside. Don't do the revolving door thing or someone's going to cum all over your face and its going to hurt really really bad.

      Sounds like the hospital I went to too, although the food there wasn't anything great.

    Family and connection is wherever you find it, despite the labels and negative connotations that tend to go with such places.

      Visit? You mean like, as a guest or something? Or do you mean to just go back as a patient?
      Hmmm, I suppose I could always go there, but I don't really see myself getting past the front desk if I am just a guest.
