After talking with @Ninjastar @anon2818416 and @LED I am going to go to the hospital today again. I didn’t go last night because I didn’t want to wait until 3am to be admitted…
I will potentially be admitted so… wish me luck… I’m very nervous and scared
Good luck

Good luck @doodle!
I want to go the hospital sometimes too. But
think it will not help or I will dread staying there and have panic and anxiety.
There are pros and cons to going to the hospital. Most of the time i did not even realize I was psychotic until after about 3 to 5 days on a psych unit. I don’t think I ever went to the hospital needlessly.
In terms of the good, my psychosis would go away and I adapted to the hospital life. I made friends with some of the other patients. The food was good. I enjoyed most of the activities.
In terms of criticism, there were times when I was very bored. I had to stay a few days after I was well. There were times when I felt fearful and anxious. Lately over the past three years I have had a period of rocky recovery once getting out of the hospital. I have been in the hospital 12 times in 37 years with my schizophrenia.
I don’t know your story Doodle but I hope when all is considered you will feel the hospital stay was worth it. I consider the pros and cons with each hospital admission. It is scary.
I have been hospitalized more times than I can count. Literally. Each time was necessary. I haven’t been admitted to a psych unit now in three years. A record for me.

They ended up not admitting me I just stayed in the crisis unit for about 10 hours to see the psychiatrist. What I don’t like about going to the hospital is I guess I have a good understanding of what’s happening to me when I’m lucid and then I don’t know what’s going on when I’m more out of control. They always get on my back for knowing I am delusional- but in those states I genuinely am? Plus I’ve done a lot of research into psychology because that’s what I want to go into (psychiatry) so I always feel like I have to dumb myself dow.
