Anyone ever feel like they wanna go to the psych ward for a few weeks or so even though they dont feel unwell enough to go? I do. A lot. Pretty sure ive been institutionalised from having spent a year of my life in hospitals and rehab.

Not me. I have no desire to go back to a psych ward. I am done with them, and have been for awhile.

Sometimes I wish I could have a break for a weekend somewhere. Just not in a psych ward.

I never want to go back to the psych ward ever again. Too boring. I prefer sitting at home in my recliner and watching tv

Not attractive to me. My psych ward visits were all unpleasant in one way or another and my memory of them is a strong motivator to keeping working towards recovery on the days when I don’t feel like it.

Maybe you feel taken care of - nothing is expected of you in a hospital / ward.
Timed meds, meals, etc.
Life in the real world is a lot to handle.

Maybe ive just been wanting more help with my mental health than ive been getting. When ive been to wards before, i see a pdoc and therapist and stuff regularly. Some wards ive been in are horrible asylum like places. But theres a subacute ward not too far from where i live and its actually kinda nice there. And its free.
Hospital is a real privilege here.
When I was told I had to go, I waited over a week for a bed
Then I convinced them to look after me in the community
Wheres that? @Joker

You don’t get a bed here (Alberta, Canada) unless you are in desperately horrible shape. You’ll get kicked out of it when you’re still in horrible shape even if you’re not stable yet to make room for the next person who is falling apart.

I never liked the psych wards. And am not planning to go back.
I have a cousin who likes it there and goes on ‘holidays’ there when she needs a break.
It’s not that hard to get a bed here.
They arent taking me back alive.
You may not like it. But they are there to help you.
Its almost like a prison for me there. I need my gaming PC and cellphone, good and lots of food, my family, etc
I rather wish for holiday in a holiday resort for two weeks. Maybe i should save for that as well.
