When I was a teenager, I was deeply affected by others while in hospital. I had to go off on my own and keep my distance from the others to remain sane. Later on I realized it was because staff were not listening and making all kind of judgements, that they didn't bother to verify. I also lacked a diagnosis that described my presentation and inner experience. Everyone on the unit seemed to have a concrete diagnosis, which gave me the impression they had a more legitimate reason for being there than me. Do you feel heard?
