The problem with the hospital to me is that you're locked up. And a lot of the people make a lot of noise and create disturbances. This would make me more anxious. And I don't know about the high dose benzos, the pdocs hate them. They might use high dose antipsychotics and then of course there are the groups. I hated it when they would give me and the others pieces of paper and see who could build the biggest tower. How does this help me get well. But if you want and need somewhere where you are safe from self-harm then the hospital is for you. And I once had a pdoc in the hospital who took me off all my benzos and put me into withdrawal. This was because my regular doc wasn't oncall to admit. Fondly, Phillipa
