My experience was absolutely beautiful, I made great and true friends, as the atmosphere was conducive to opening up and sharing things, I developed great relations with my psychiatrist, social worker, and therapist, my life improved because of it, was not put on 'hold..' as my delusions stopped and I could live again, my loved ones visited me everyday, and with family therapy my relations improved, I also had to return home from college, but flourished at the hospital I was at....perhaps it's because the hospital I was at was such a highly rated hospital, but I say what do you have to lose?? Are you at a point where what you're doing now and how you're thinking and feeling now are working??
