Is it normal to admit yourself to the Mental Hospital for a vacation?

  • If you want a vacation, why not take a vacation instead of occupying a bed in a hospital or a seat in a group therapy session that someone else may need? That sounds like you're seeking drama and not just a little break because you're bored.

    If you're that bored, tell people you're going on a week-long vacation to Rarotonga and check into a nice hotel in a neighboring town instead.

    If you're too young or broke to take a vacation on your own and are expecting your parents/spouse/insurance company to foot the bill for your little mental vacation, you're a narcissistic jerk who will eventually wear out the goodwill of said parents/spouse/insurance company and will die alone and miserable because no one will put up with your selfish ass forever.

    I really hope that isn't the case; I'd far rather believe you're just a little misguided in your vacation choices and not so impossibly selfish that you'd put friends and family through that kind of expense and worry because you were bored.

    • I just hope that this person won't seriously do this. What an ass.

    • Well said. I'd just add that you maybe in denial of an actual mental problem. Chronic boredom or apathy may be a sign of a deeper problem. Maybe you'd be better off getting an intake interview at a clinic, and see what they say.
