I'm curious how you "learned a lot and came out stronger."
In my own life, I was horribly traumatized, which made me ill in the first place and then my hospitalization was very traumatizing as well so now I'm left trying to recover from both. Being hospitalized only compounded my problems.
What did you learn? I know there are psychiatric programs that you can go into almost like courses, or like drug rehab and such, where you have classes and learn. Were you in something like that? That wasn't anything like where I was. The hospital I was in was like something out of some bad movie. It's still hard for me to believe that they really do those kinds of things to mental patients.
So you felt you were helped and respected and treated with compassion? By everyone? And you observed that every other patient was treated that way as well?
