Yeah I feel ya I've been down that road I finally started getting dressed 2 days ago but still don't leave my house unless I have work! Even though I don't leave it still feels better to get dressed than to keep pjs on baby steps

Hall Mercer is all private rooms and I think there's around 20-28 rooms but it was less than half full when I went, I am under the impression that Hall Mercer is for voluntary admission only which is why it's so empty everyone I spoke with put themselves in there which is why I think that. They let you go out on the deck 4 times a day that's smoke break but non smokers can go out as well, they have a tv room and activities room they also let you hang in the lunch room and eat snacks and watch tv during the day, you can use the phone anytime you want between 9:30am-10pm also people can call you anytime between those hours too there are phones in every hallway. My favorite was they also let you take as many blankets as you want so you never get cold you can get dressed or stay in your pjs it's up to you. It's just a bit boring in there at times so bring a good book or art supplies they allow you to bring in that kind of stuff. They will not allow you to to leave whenever you want though, if you end up wanting to leave you would sign a paper and wait 3 days or a family member can sign you out immideatly but they will hassle you guys for a bit to try to get you to stay the longest they kept me was 7 days because it is a short term center I think a month is the max amount they could keep you but like I said you can sign yourself out or get signed out. You also can have vistors in the evening one girl I was in there with had like 10 people see her at once! They are very lax over there and do want us to be comfortable as they can allow.
