More than 3 times mainly bcz I stopped meds.
I just counted eleven times. Four of those were psychosis-related, the others were for being overly suicidal, scaring those close to me, sometimes scaring myself a bit. I went in to all of those eleven stays voluntarily, never been hospitalized against my will.

I voluntarily gave up my driverās license after my car went to the salvage yard. My momās not around anymore to co-sign a loan with me, like she did back in 2005 when I got my car.

I guess I am doing pretty good, having only been hospitalized 5 or 6 times in my lifetime of 61 years.

Twice. First time was good. Second, bad. I got so fat the second time round.
I was hospitalized once it was this year when i got diagnosed the voices were saying they were experimenting on me evil liars doing good so far.

Twice. 2017/18, twice between those two years. Not many months apart either.
I was originally clued up about all my mental health related circumstances, but once I officially got a face to face statement of schizophrenia diagnosis.
I stopped caring about details and started finding ways to cheat the disease - which partly meant, no longer care about managing health and start caring about striving to improve health.
This approach meant that slowly (out of hope mindset) the right habits or solutions will come naturally - the main caveat is that you could ruin your health, be it mental or physical or both, before a solution ever gets to be adopted.

Maybe 10 times.
Sometimes in public hospital, sometimes private clinic.
It helped me to be stabilized but after that, there was a lot of social work to improve my way of life.

ive managed to avoid it. almost got put in involuntarily by my parents and they didnt want to have to do that. I never wanted to go voluntarily, Id likely of ended up being one of those people that get strapped down or whatever and thats waaaay worse to me than hearing voices or delusions.
How I avoided getting taken away by cops for acting bizarrely is even more puzzling and I only attribute it to luck.

Between 1975 & 1983 around a dozen times. The threshold for being admitted was much lower then.

Last time I was hospitalized was in 2016. I was diagnosed in 2011-2012.
Twice,once by order of the judge
Ten times too many. I flew in, drank up every last drop of their orange juice, and scrammed. I left them wondering what the hell hit 'em.
