Two times. Once in 2011 and once in 2012.
Haven’t been in hospital in a decade but I take the max dose of Invega religiously.

I think I’ve been in hospital about 5 times? Not entirely sure. But I haven’t been in one for a few years now.

Three or four times I think.
Same, three or four times, I just can’t remember exactly.
Over a dozen times between 1975-1983. The last admission was May 1981 but I didn’t leave there with my later to be wife till March 1983. I should say that the level at which you got admitted then was significantly lower than it is now.
Two times.
October and then November 2016.
Around 9 times lol… i had fun before there even for a time so i was trying to hide there, its not the case anymore… i never went out real better from my hospitals either… well , ok, at least i maintain myself and its precisely a hospital doc, who found my less worst treatment, which is good, but my sz is quite special and i think now, that I’ll get better only if i try some other things here, try to make my life better.
But yeap, its good if you go private, but i think, that the pdocs in the hospitals are more experienced lol… its another thing, that these places can be hard too, yeap 
…
I say four times but my wife says seven. I must have been really bad off three times because I don’t remember a damn thing. I remember bits and pieces of the other four.
3 times.
Once in the 1990s and twice in 2016
I’ve been hospitalized so many times that I can’t possibly count all the times. All I know is that my last psychiatric admission was in 2015. I don’t miss it.

Does anyone else lose their memory when they get psychotic? I black out. Sometimes for days.

Four times, all in 2013. I guess 13 really is an unlucky number for me.
I barely remember most of the stuff that happened from 1983 through 2016, ie., the years when I was having psychotic episodes. It’s all fuzzy. But I never blacked out.

I don’t know if I really black out. I just know the fourth time I was hospitalized I don’t remember the first four or five days.
When I finally checked out of outpatient after the inpatient I sat down with a shrink and he was talking to me like he knew me. He asked if I remembered him and I said I had never met him before. He said when I first got to inpatient he was my doctor the first five days when I was in the really crazy part of the psych ward.
I didn’t remember him at all but he signed all my notes the first five days. It took me years to get those records. When I first tried they told me they were federally protected. I thought the end of the world was coming apparently. That’s all over the notes.

Wow! That must be scary to you.
I don’t remember details of most of my many hospitalizations today either. I only remember bits and pieces of a few of them.

It scared the hell out of me. I was paranoid as hell and no telling what I told that guy. That’s why I tried to get the records but still they didn’t say much anyways. It took me years to get them so there was a huge void of unknown.
Apparently I was talking a lot and usually at that time I didn’t say anything. My Commanding Officer would later tell me he met with me the day after I got there and I wasn’t myself but he said he really liked that guy. Apparently I am more normal when I am out of it. I don’t remember meeting with him either.

Your Commanding Officer really liked what guy? You? Or your pdoc?
Once, for six months. That experience, (and the old class of meds) was enough to make me get off meds and live (barely) under the radar for too many decades.
He said I was more talkative. Me.
