I saw Girl, Interupted, but that was more like my longterm stay when I was younger. Now they seem to push coping skill groups and organized activities all day long, and stays are more like 3-5 days (I've been told). No way would we have been able to get into locked rooms (too many psych techs!), and the only "Pass" I was able to obtain was one allowing me to walk on the back lawn near the patio. No trips into town for ice cream. lol.

EDIT: They didn't let me shave my legs, either.

Was your experience like Girl, Interrupted?
