I'm kind of the opposite. I don't want visitors when I'm admitted to the psych hospital. I'm usually manic and psychotic. I don't want anyone in my outside life remembering me as being as sick as I am when in patient. I just want them to think I got sick and when next they see me I'm fine. I like being isolated.

When I was undergoing cancer treatment I allowed visitors. All I kept praying was that I didn't throw up in front of them. Sometimes I was so ill I didn't want to talk. No fun for them and not helpful to me.
