The hospital ward can be very beneficial. Sometimes when it feels like no one around you (even ones closet to you) are not being supportive and act as though you are more of an "interruption" of their day-to-day activities, it's best to isolate yourself from those negative influences. It helped me a lot. It's much more difficult to do when you are on your own and have a cell phone in hand. Those can be dangerous; during the desperate search for someone, anyone, to support you, it leads to the constant checking of the phone to see if anyone "gives a damn." And the anticipation can sometimes lead to disappointment, which only makes the anxiety and loneliness even worse.
