I think it's fantastic that you've never been hospitalised, it really shows a lot of courage and inner strength that I'm sure many of us would like to have. Personally I believe the admissions I had when I was a bit younger for depression/self harm stuff, before psychosis made hospital unavoidable, would have been avoidable had I been a little maturer, been a bit more of a fighter and engaged in therapy better. Sometimes I do sense a bit of competition on RYL, but honestly, for me feeling 'inferior' for never being sectioned is easier to deal with than causing myself more harm and getting sectioned, hospitals are horrible places at the best of times!
