I am wondering, because when I went inpatient, you weren't allowed to have any kind of what they would consider "toys"
(i.e. my coping mechanisms - stuffed animals, binkis, etc)

And I have come to the realization that I want to go back inpatient, so they can (hopefully) figure out what is going on with me and all my dissociation,depersonalization(or whatever it is) episodes.
the hospital uptown that I was in is a normal hospital with a mental ward in it. I was able to take personal items with me and have them with me as long as I wasnt suicidal and wasnt doing any self harm things. they treat all kinds of mental problems including dissociation stuff on the unit.
Thanks for this!
