I'm going to hospital on Monday and I'm so scared of everything.

I requested a single room because I'm paranoid the person I will have to share with is one of the bad people watching me. They called me today to tell me I couldn't have a single room. I'm terrified.
I called me pdoc today to tell him my concerns and he promised me I would have a single room as soon as possible. I'm not going into a shared room, not even to put my bags away. I'll just leave them at the nurses station and stay awake for a few days until I get my own room.

I'm also worried that because it's a planned admission they will have had time to hide cameras to watch me.

I don't know if I can go through with the admission but if I don't go voluntary they'll make me involuntary which I don't want.

I'm sorry this is causing you so much anxiety. It must be really hard to have to wait until Monday, so many things for our minds to worry about. When I went it wasn't planned so I didn't have time to worry.

I'm sorry you are paranoid about having a roommate, so sometimes it can be helpful to have one.

I hope all goes well.

I'm sorry you are so worried about this. If it helps, both times I was inpatient I had really good roommates. The 15 minute checks were disconcerting and I never got used to someone looking at me every 15 minutes, but they never did anything to hurt me, they just wrote down something on a clipboard.

i am proud of you for going into the hospital even with all the worries you have. this reply is a little late as i think you've already been admitted. i can relate 100% to what you are saying. my thing is, i never had anything to hide, i just did not enjoy being interrogated and followed and harassed by everyone. the thing i hated the most was when i'd tell "them" everything - i was still "lying". question to "them" - THEN WHY THE HELL DO YOU KEEP ASKING ME THINGS? LEAVE ME ALONE. hah.

i just came out of hospital and it stabilised me well. i hope it has a good effect on you. being in there makes you appreciate your life outside. have a good stay.

I've had the same wants but I've always had a roommate. There's been times where I've gone days without one but end up with one but usually, everyone at the hospital is really nice because we all know that we all have problems and no one judges. I'm usually uncomfortable the first night with a roommate but then we start talking and I haven't had a bad roommate except once but I asked for a room change and they had no problem switching my room.
