I stayed for five days. They knew I was suicidal so I couldn't leave until they said so. It was a lot of laying around in bed, group therapy sessions in the afternoons, sitting in the day area with other patients. There were a lot of times I felt really down and just wanted to talk to a therapist or something but there wasn't anyone to talk to. It didn't really help me apart from being a needed distraction from my life & giving me a routine. And I learned a bit from listening in group therapy to other people's stories. Wasn't much to say about mine. It wasn't terrible, but it was boring and I felt just as depressed on the fifth date as I had the first day I went in, I just wanted to go home by that point. Though if it's something you need in the future then by all means go. I'm not saying it doesn't do some people some good.
