i agree its a fake world.
the hospital is good for acute yes.
but going many times and like long term stays its hell. if you are unable to handle your life in your own home and the real world - then the hospital is far far far worse.

ive been in over a dozen times. sometimes for long periods. and i appreciate the freedoms i have to go outside on my porch if i want to or not. and if i do i can stay there for however long i want. also my freedom to goto food places i want. to goto a bookstore. a movie. whatever. or even freedom to say no to medication that harms me.

i used to hate the real world so much. and found solace in hospitals. cuz of the care. but i learned fast that the workers there dont care as much as they portray themselves to. a few may care but its their job too to care for you. they got their life in the real world. plus the freedom to go places and to deny and choose things was a huge huge huge deal for me. when it comes down to it they arent really looking to care for you in there. they are first and foremost doing their job to manage caseloads and get people stabilized and out so they can help others and so on and so on. ive been told a few times its their job to get you stabilized. think about that. not their job to care for you or to necessarily help you AS MUCH AS get you stabilized to keep you going in the real world.
