They keep you there for about 2 weeks it really depends on how your doing. Taking 2 weeks out your life won't kill you it's really going to help you. I know how you exactly how you feel when you say your t says things that hurt you. I would think I want die everytime my session end it with my t, but the reason you get upset it's because he reminds that you have depression. He reminds you how bad your life is at the moment. In the end he's just trying to help you find what made you depressed, with that he will work with you in figure out how to move pass this and make you become happy again just like my psychiatrist did. It can be overwhelming to keep repeating how misearble your life is and how hopeless you are.

When I was forced into hospitalization I couldn't stop laughing because I said to myself "watch out I'm officially crazy where's my straitjacket?" and I really though I was going to be put in a white room where they keep insane people in the movies. I was excepting to be handcuff to a chair and wear those mask they give you, I was wrong they put me into a place that was exactly like a penthouse. You have to laugh at yourself I would make pretend I was the craziest insane psycho on the planet just make myself laugh, have fun with this experience, don't take life too seriously your depression isn't permanent !

We had tv, internet access, iPods to listen and so many things I was a living the lifestyle of a millionaire in there I'm not even joking. Once again it depends what hospital they put you in I was in a place called 9 Garden North, hospital Columbia presbyterian. Do it !
