I basically kept to myself although I befriended a couple of people while I was there in 2016.
Got a few telephone numbers but never really followed through when I got out

I was very quiet and self absorbed in the ward…as I came out of psychosis I flirted with a girl, she and I never got together though.

I was hypomanic in the ward.
There was one woman there i later met in clubhouse, and we made friends.
I remember i asked her about benzos,
And she told me to stay away from them.

Some older lady had a crush on me, she sat next to me a few times while watching tv.
I kind of had a crush on another girl there but it went nowhere
Socializing was a good thing about being locked up. But I’ve been locked up too many times and it’s become difficult.

I had a girl keep standing over my bed. She was a singer. I talked to a few people but mostly stayed to myself.

I remember one guy smiling at me and that freaked me out because of the delusions I had. I also remember one guy screaming and saying strange stuff and that the doctors wanted to kill him and me thinking he was completely delusional while I was totally fine when I wasn’t.

no nearly not at all. I read my books all day and listened to a little radio I could use in the hall. Was friendly with a couple of girls on the ward and this older lady with a red garden hat in the courtyard.

I mostly talked to the staff during my last stay in the psych ward. My other times were varied experiences.

I was catatonic for a lot of it. Not functional enough to socialize when not.

I was very social in the psych ward. Every time I was in one. That’s one aspect I miss…

Ive stayed in psych wards a lot of times. The first time i didnt socialize much because i was so deeply psychotic it would be impossible to have a coherent conversation. I was in there for 4 months that time.
But most of the other stays ive done ive made lots of friendships. I even met my current girlfriend of over 3 years in there which is nice.

I was friendly and people seemed to gravitate towards me, but I didn’t go out of my way to make friends.

Well I did make a couple of attempts to call the older woman when I got home but several different times no one picked up
Yes, too much…
Then I remembered words said couple of times
“What happens in a ward, stays in a ward”
So there’s things I can’t talk about…
