I can't imagine more than 2 weeks. Where I go by that point you're on about the 3rd rotation of the menu cycle (I rarely eat that anyway and live on cottage cheese and fruit), most people have come and gone and been replaced with new people (or they aren't and suddenly you are one of two patients on the entire unit) and the area is so small I can't imagine not leaving it for much longer than that. But it's obviously not set up for longer stays. ECT patients stay longer but mostly people are there 5 to 10 days. I think my shortest has been 8 days. The last time was for Christmas so there were a lot of days with very little going on and tha was tough. I just can't imagine living on that routine for very long. It always feels like being at camp with the little schedule and rotation of groups.
