Have you been inpatient before? The hospital where I live is merely a babysitting service, but the staff was really nice and for some, it's just a nice break away from family and their obligations. You have been thinking about this for awhile; it may be worth a try. What have you got to lose? And you'll get a break from your unsupportive spouse; it must be really hard to take, like being alone in a crowd -- I'd rather be alone by myself than alone with a bunch of people around who are indifferent. If that makes sense. IMO hubby is contributing to making you feel crazy by denying that there's any possibility that you could be.
