I have been in hospital more times than I can rememeber.
Mostly bad but have had some really good ones. Earlier this year was good. I was in because my depression got really bad and I SI'd first time in over a year so it was a get in hosp and prevent a further dip. And it helped.
I was in for a month and they did nothing but help me.

Although I am slipping down rapidly now I am thankful for the help I recieved. I think you have to want the help and really put in the hard work or it just doesn't help being in hospital. That is always difficult as I have been in at times when I've not wanted help. I wanted to be somewhere safe but not to change. It is a hard time.
