Things have been really rough lately. I've been extremely unstable to the point I'm not quite sure I trust myself anymore. I texted my therapist and she believes I should go inpatient for the time being. What have your experiences been with hospitals? I've only been to the ER, and that was when I was 15, for suicidal ideation during the school day. Other than that, I've always been very terrified of hospitals and never allowed myself to go to one even though there were many times I probably should have been in one. My biggest fear is having to stay longer than I think I need to. Is it possible to stay for only a few days? Or do they get to keep you until they deem you stable enough to leave?
