ultramar is right

think about it for a second.
at the end of the day you ARE fed. you ARE taken care of. and for some people being around others with your same issues is comforting and you can sit with them late into the night talking about episodes and struggles. thats stuff is great for when you are not well and stuff.

but theres a flipside to hospital. that if youve been in one and seen the true nature of a mental hospital - it would trump all the good stuff. so you have the patients beating up other patients maybe. you have people getting in restraints or seclusion time. a lot of hospitals are unsanitary. your taken care of but many times its on their schedule not yours so you lose a huge amount of freedom. most hospitals wont let you go outside. many have very limited activities. lesssss privacy - you may have to strip naked for checks or shower with the door open or something. and MORE.

ok so all that trumps the good stuff to me. that good stuff can be replicated for many people in real life. with little effort most times.

the hospital gives a feeling of comfort and caring. people like that. i get it. ive felt there. been there.

but...
faking in general is horrible.
faking to be in the hospital is not good for many reasons. whether that its on your life record or that if u lie it may come back to bite you. like u may have to take meds you dont need or get treatment that you dont need. etc
