My first hospital admission was at 14... I'm 17 now and have had four inpatient admissions. One completely voluntarily, one partly voluntarily (got the whole "Come with us by choice or we'll be forced to section you and detain you against your will" option) and two involuntarily.
Hoping this year will be my first year outside of a psychiatric unit. So far so good haha. Only 343 days left until I've achieved my target.
