I've been here before so it shouldnt surprised me, but is it normal when you go inpatient to just being "parked" there and be almost forgotten about? As if they've done their job and now its all "done"? No docs to talk with, no activities, no nothing? Just a room for yourself, free to do the nothing you want to do? Is this helpful somehow? I know i needed rest, but if they decided i was a danger for myself and others, shouldnt they do something about it more than giving anti anxiety meds?

They may just be monitoring you to best decide what approach to take. Be happy they aren't just pushing pills at you although groups would be nice.

Are you on detox? I know you had been drinking quite a bit. They may be waiting a few days until your system is cleared.
Thanks for this!

No, i'm physically fine. I've started talking with nurses. I've been talking a lot figuring this was meant to help me somehow but it doesnt. I feel even more alone than before. Good news is that homicidal thoughts have almost gone. Sui ones still here... At least i'm resting and not acting crazy...

I was in a psychiatric hospital last year and we had more free time but we had longer visiting hours. It was more boring on the weekend but we spent it working puzzles, reading, watching tv and writing in our journals. I had a problem because they took away all our electronics. They would let us use the phone. Of course time is needed to access any med changes too.

I was in the hospital for 11 days for epilepsy monitoring. I was off my meds, had seizures, had to stay in bed, on camera 24-7, couldn't get up without someone there, couldn't leave the room ever, had wires attached to my head with glue the entire time, and had to go without a shower (although I did a fair job at cleaning up otherwise.) I went through almost a week of that before I even thought of leaving.

It was sooooo relaxing, for real.

There's nothing weird about it. I loved getting away from everything and all the attention. My blood pressure went down 20 points. The hospital is the only place anyone takes care of me. It's practically the only place anyone touches me. I struggle with my health everyday, but sometimes you just want to be taken care of. You just get tired of facing everything.

I know how you feel.

Sometimes i feel like my world and life spins around docs, even though i rarely see them right because of this already present emotional dependence i feel for them, and i dont want to feed it because the more attention i get from them the more id want it. Is this sick? Twisted?

I can't say whether it's all good and healthy, but I don't think it's sick or twisted. It's natural to want to reach out for help, comfort, or safety when you need it.

Yes, sorry, i didnt express myself in the best way... I just hate this need of attention from docs (only docs, no family or friends) and i dont understand it. Its like i exist only when with them. Especially pdocs...
