I know for me...when I was still in my bad marriage....the hospital stays were almost a total relief from what I was going through....& it was where I could stay safe from my feeling totally trapped & wanting out no matter what I had to do.......there were times when my pdoc wouldn't release me to go back home with my H......so I can relate to the more times I would end up in the hospital the more comfortable I would feel there because it wasn't so much the total unknown.....but when that private hospital closed....I was back to NOT wanting to go back into the hospital again & did refuse the last time...but was so medically ill with the anorexia that I ended up in the medical hospital instead.
