Looks like progress to me
my experiences in the hospitals gets worse as I go on. The first time wasn’t so bad. the second time was pure hell, I was drugged for most of it.
A big worry of mine in the past was that I would become institutionalized. Just sayin’.
Might speak volumes for the hospital itself, too, in a positive way.
I’ve been involuntarily committed once, when I was 15, for a week. The staff there were so reprehensibly clueless and dysfunctional themselves that I zero faith in psych professionals for years thereafter and thought the field was full of total loons.
One lady looked at my drawings (I drew nude fae people a lot, inspired by Brian Froud) and decided that it meant I had sexual issues towards my mother and that I was secretly a Satanist. She then tried to bring me to Jesus.
That’s not healthy at all, glad you got over it
I was in hospital for 6 months. Was nearly institutionalized. When hospital is boring, that is healthy in my eyes. I became very comfortable with getting food served.
The bad times in the hospital for me were when they put me on Haldol. God I hate that drug. They were also unpleasant when I was on Zyprexa, but not as bad as when I was on Haldol. If I’m not on those drugs the hospital isn’t bad for me.
