I'm so sorry, and yet soo very glad you have an ACT team to go with you and deal with that. Saddly I have to say it sounds like you and I are not alone with traumatic hospitalizations. I freaked last time I went to one. I have a great therapist, but I wasn't sleeping too many nightmares kept waking me until I just quit trying to sleep. I too wasn't able to remember did I take my pills, yes, no, losing chunks of time, and then I had the first panic attack in years. It had been about 11years since my last time in a hospital. I feel like I failed and allowed what happened, happen becouse I went voluntarly. BUT no one should be treated or talked to the way I was. I started acting very irrational after I was put on the ward I just flashed back to the bad experances and wanted out and not one of them had any experence with PTSD and they would not call my psychologist. I could not call anyone becouse they did not have a tty or VP(I'm DEAF) I spent 3 and a half days of terror there they let me out only becouse I refused to take any of there medications and repeatedly said I wasn't suicidal, just tramitized(not compltly true but I would have said anything to get out of there). Lydia you are not alone.
