I'm lucky to have a really good acute inpatient facility near me. It's not a real hospital and was designed only for mental health care, so there are constant support groups and activities happening and the staff are amazing- ridiculously caring and invested in the well being of the patients.

I'm embarrassed to say that I use it as a crutch and I feel weirdly at home there. It's like having a pop up support system. They've saved my life a few times.
That being said, normal hospitals are a nightmare. I would go to the ends of the earth for good outpatient therapy before ever going back to a normal hospital psych unit.

But I do feel like I spend a lot of time waiting to be hospitalized again. It just feels inevitable sometimes, so I totally relate to that.
