I know that it's the Right Thing To Do but my first two hospitalizations were really boring and unhelpful--kept me safe while the worst of the depression passed, but I don't think I learned anything or experienced any healing.
Has anyone had an inpatient stay that was actually productive or helpful? (Outside of the realm of pure physical safety?)

Had a horrible experience first time I was inpatient for a med reaction. Really bad second experience at a different hospital for attempting suicide. Then my most recent experience for second attempt at another hospital was good. They helped me and had therapy groups and caring staff. Do your research on local hospitals if you can. They are not all good or helpful.
