I think you nailed on the head one of the biggest misconceptions about a psychiatric hospital. People think they'll get therapy there. You don't. It's just a place to keep you safe--mostly for legal reasons, not because they actually care about you as a human being.

And I agree. That nurse was really rude. I've also had some really rude comments said to me by hospital staff. Why do some people feel the need to kick someone when they're already down?
