Not bad. Strict schedule. Sleeping sort of sucks because people are always checking in on you.
Getting forced to have a room mate because they can’t be trusted by themselves isn’t great either.
When all of the other older kids are gone and the nurses trust you, they let you handle some of the data entry, or they let you play with the really young kids. It’s sad to see 5 year olds with depression.
Five year olds? Well, I once met a depressed 10 year old, but 5 year olds?
My first stint in inpatient was at 9 after I tried to hang myself, so yeah...
Fuck, that’s heavy. I hope you’re doing better these days
When I was a teacher in South Korea, I had a 5 year old student hospitalized for anxiety. It was fairly common by high school ages.
When I was at 5th grade I had a depressed classmate. At the age I thought it was "just craziness" or a lie (conservative parents suck).
Well, now I'm depressed too.
