Did you meet any friends when you were in the hospital?

i was in a psyche ward and a friend of mine happen to be in there too.
He made friends with this kinda cute girl. They were playing some board game in the common area and I walked up to the woman and tried to be friendly but she gave me the cold shoulder. After we all got out, he became friends with her and moved in with her in her apartment. I used to drive over and hang out there but I figured she didn’t like me.
All kinds of drama went on but one night we decided to have a picnic at the beach. I drove us to the beach in my dads Cadillac at 9:00 or 10:00 pm. We parked at this dirt area and got out and we ate some food and then climbed down a cliff. We were just fooling around.

On the way back we were all squished in the front seat and she was sitting between us and out of the blue she announced, “I get really horny when I smoke pot.” I thought, “Hmmm, why is she telling us that?” though it was fairly obvious. Anyone with half a brain would have gone over her house the next day with some pot. But I didn’t do anything about it.

I was friends with that guy for about a year until we had a falling out.

I don’t know if I can call it ‘friends’ but there have been a couple guys I spent a long time with when involuntary. One guy was admitted for slicing his arm up real bad with a blade when drunk because his girlfriend dumped him. We hung out everyday but sometime towards the end he became distant and I never talked to him again. I’d be surprised if he was still alive.

The last time I was admitted I hung out with another guy everyday. We played hockey with a penny on the floor of the unit we were locked in. When we were out on a pass we smoked weed he hid outside. We came back inside high af and got away with it. When I was leaving he gave me his number and told me I should come to his town and work where he works. I never talked to him again.

I met people from hospital as my neighbors in low income housing now.

It’s easy to bond with people during just a short stay in the hospital.

I got along with people but I didn’t make friends exactly. Though one guy was basically a friend, he even called me to ask to get into contact with. I had work though and I felt bad for ages because of it.

Yeah I made friends at almost all of my hospital stays except for this one hospital…I hardly remember what happened there but I mostly slept and ate because it was my first time taking antipsychotics and I barely remember what all went down there

Temporary friends sure. But some were just plain ■■■■ annoying so I stayed in my room a lot until the techs started to encourage me to socialize.
