I don't miss the hospital whatsoever. Maybe it's because here in the US, every hospital ward is "secure," locked down, and most of the staff are burned out--you're not there long enough for anyone to really care about each other.
Going in the hospital the 5 times I went meant not going outside for a week and a half, being bored and medicated, then being turned out again. Being in the hospital was just a really good way to get really behind in school. I became much more attached to the leader of my outpatient group. He actually hung in there with me through real stuff and listened.
But based on some of your experiences here, I can imagine why you might miss it somewhat. Congrats on staying out so long, though :).
