IP was never too bad for me ...

It consisted of being regularly monitored by staff as we could go to an enclosed outside area so they'd do a "head count" every 15 minutes (for real).

No caffeine ... well that was hard!

Smoking ... yeah we could smoke IP as they reckoned psych patients probably weren't in the best frame of mind to go cold turkey

Activities ... there were a range of scheduled activities that we could choose from daily from light exercise (there was even a small gym), art classes, cooking etc

Food ... well that was a bit dodge but I swear the desserts were always to die for (I'm a huge dessert fan so that was a bonus)

On the down side there was a male patient who used to freak me out by getting into my personal space and following me around everywhere ... and he clearly had some kind of issues going on
