Oh my goodness! Myself, that is so terrible! I am so sorry that you had to go through that. It's scary to know what REALLY goes on in some of these places.

Actually, I was allowed to stay in a single bed unit on my last stay in a mental health hospital... But to keep us from isolating ourselves, we had to be out of our rooms at 8:30 AM, and we couldn't go to bed until 8:00 PM. And that's the way this "program" worked, too. I'm very hesitant to go back to another ever again, too. I can understand what you are saying.
