No Reason.
 

Argh.
I don't know if anyone else gets like this but does anyone ever feel like they should be in hospital or they want to be in hospital, even if there is no reason (Eg, you feel safe, doing well, not suicidal ect) but just want to be there?

I go through moments of wanting to be in hospital even though there's no need for me to be in hospital. :notsure: I don't know why. I was in hospital for a week after my suicide attempt back in September, I'd liked it there. I got asked if I wanted to go to an Adolescence Unit because I liked it at the hospital, but I said no. I wasn't on the psych ward, I was on the childrens ward. *sigh*

Anyone here feel like this?
Anyone ever been to an Adolescence Unit?

Sorry I don't really know what the point of this post was. xx

heya,
i know what you mean. i can asure you you're not alone with these feelings. i think i crave the safety of the hospital, the fact that i dont have to look after myself in a sense, i dont have to keep myself safe...you have any similar feelings? but i know that iv got to keep fighting and keep myself safe cus eventhough sometimes i might crave the hospitals safety i know i dont want to spend my life going in and out.

i havent ever been on an adolescent ward, iv been on an adult ward, wasnt the most exciting place in the world lol.
how come your asking about adolescent wards?

i hope youre ok
im only a pm away =)

Hey hunni,
Yeah, I sorta know what you mean there, in a crazy way. Sometimes life gets pretty messed, and even if you're doing okay, well, you're still in this nightmare really. The hospital to me, seems like escapism. Nothing can hurt you & you're safe. The people care, and stuff...I guess that's why some people still crave it, I guess.

We all want to be somewhere where we have felt 'good' and protected. Is there anything else similar to hospital for you? Take care.

Yeah I was in an adolescent unit three times and it was a bit like a holiday camp at times - during school terms there were loads of activities and during school holidays we had an outing once a week. Once the NHS paid for us to go to Chessington for a day!

Adult wards suck though.

Yeahh, those are the feelings I get. Knowing that it's a safe place, people check on you, ect ect.

I don't know why I was asking just a random things I guess. xx

I used to feel like this until i actually got put in a hospital lol.

Adolescence ward was alright looking back, but adult ward was HORRIFIC.

I crave the feeling of going into a and e wards more. I love the feeling of being physically ill, like i am dying, and nurses making a fuss, saying i need bags of IV, blood pressure checks every few hours. Sick and twisted I know. I would just rather be physically ill.

But yeah I know what you mean :/
Take care x

I've been in an adolescent unit twice. Sometimes I miss it just because most of the time it felt so safe and it took a lot of the responsibility away from me (I think it's easy to get institutionalised if you stay there for a while). But at the same time I hated the feeling of having virtually no privacy with the checks etc. So I'm contradicting myself a bit really but...yeah.

I completely agree.

I know what you mean, sometimes I wish I could just go to hospital and be safe and not have to bother with dealing with real life. I've even considered 'attempting' suicide so I could stay in hospital. But in reality it's probably not that great and you don't learn to deal with life.
