> Seeing someone post about going to the hospital really pulled at my heartstrings, although I have no advice for this because I never have gone. Because I didn't need to? Because I thought it was just for crazies that need locked up? I don't know. But it did get me to thinking, I worked in a regular hospital with a psych ward.I am a physical therapist so I am quite educated but lets face it unless you work in that specific field you don't know. My question is this, when do you know when its time to go, how long do you stay,what goes on, I see "group" therapy and that freaks me out, or I see regualr people content coloring picures or making crafts. That is not me and I think that would make me feel worse. Anyone with experience. I have neglected my psych health really. When can you get committed without your wanting to go? It just seems to me that it wouln't help but just make me feel worse. and out of sorts.
Hi Nikki,
That's a good question and I am looking forward to seeing some responses. I don't have inpatient experience. JN
