Re: Hospital

I was hospitalised for psychosis. It was like being back in primary school in a way - there were lots of activities run during the day that we were strongly recommended to take part in to help us in our recovery, lots of busy nurses, and a lot of things we weren't allowed to do.

https://saneforums.org/t5/Our-stories/Hospital-admission/m-p/864726 has some advice on hospital admission.

Re: Hospital

@Gwynn @Thank U so much for the reply

I guess I'm reluctant to go to hospital because I don't see how it would recovery

what is done there that cannot be done on the outside

I've lost almost everything I have the only little comfort I have left is my home
