There are also very different levels of self harm, some episodes can be very serious and an inpatient stay could prevent potentially dangerous instances of this.
Is psychosis the only valid reason to go to the hospital?

dont get me wrong guys
its not EVERYONE on that group but most are saying that stuff.
you dont have to be psychotic to go into a hospital.
BUT i honestly dont know why someone would go for anxiety. a thousand or 2k thousand a day hospital stay for anxiety? i personally dont understand that.
i may not always take my antipsychotics but i havent been misusing my antianxiety pills. i use them exactly how im supposed to and they STILL dont really help me. so what i want to know is how are these people paying for hospital stays (in the USA) for anxiety and i can barely afford it when someone like me is psychotic sometimes. sometimes so much so that i get in legal trouble for it.
also when i was in a few hospitals i saw many homeless people that truly needed that help and they were getting sent away prematurely or not getting treated at all and they had very severe problems.
IM NOT SAYING THESE PEOPLE DONT NEED HELP ON THIS GROUP. what im saying is 1 - *
HOW do they afford it?* because
i actually want to be able to afford it for my episodes too. and 2 - *
WHAT is going on within themselves that they cant get outpatient care for anxiety and superficial self harm and things along those lines*. notice how i say superficial as in medically not a threat/harm to to their body. superficial is a term ive heard used in psych hospitals from doctors to describe a level of self harm. thats why i said that word.
