I get very paranoid in the hospital and was almost assaulted by a very large naked women (sexually assaulted). Fortunately a nurse walked in on it and put a stop to it. The worst part was I was thought I was hallucinating the whole thing. Earlier in the day she came up and said "you sure are pretty". I said thank you but was paranoid of everyone and just walked away. Then she stripped naked and came and hovered over me in my bed breathing very heavy. I got away and reported it and they said she was harmless and expected me to accept it. I tried to sleep in a chair for 8 hours and finally got sick and in pain and tried the bed again....I rolled over and had my back to her.....she did it again....I heard the breathing but was too scared to turn around and a nurse came in and was horrified and apologized to me. Scary stuff.
I'm the opposite, i usually have severe mixed states with SI. This hospital makes me feel safe. I'm just bored. It was only Sunday that I wrote a goodbye note to loved ones so its a significant swing. It just feels like everything going to be ok now.

That was awful what you experienced. That would be traumatising. No wonder you want out of hospital asap or not in if at all possible.
