It was ok, but this was back in 2008 and smartphones weren’t really a thing yet, so them holding your phone wasn’t a huge deal regarding internet access etc. (I had a Motorola slvr at the time). A typical routine for me: a crew came in at like 4am to draw labs, woke up 7am-ish, shower fucking sucked (motion-activated, ran for a limited time, about the amount of time it needed to heat up). Food was average hospital, no caffeine. I found out if I called ahead to request a meal I could get caffeinated coffee/tea. Group therapy like twice a day, individual therapy once a day, medication meeting once a day, lots of downtime and board games/card games. I could listen to music because I had a classic iPod separate from my phone.
Most people shared rooms. I somehow got my own, likely because I was the youngest by at least 10 years. Smoke breaks were still a thing, so after a few days of being cooperative you got those plus your belt back. For me it was an excuse to go outside and socialize for a few minutes.
Ultimately a good experience because I got the treatment and meds I needed quickly. Your mileage may vary of course.
Well, I never drank coffee on my life, so I'm fine with the coffee part.
Seems quite alright, expect with the "wake up at 7am part". Now my last doubts are about the boredoom and the people thing.
Thanks, lad. Best response I saw until now.
I really genuinely hope that you find the help that you need, and in a way that you feel comfortable with.
