Thank you so much for taking the time to do that. I found them interesting to read.

I just wanted an opportunity to share and hear about other people's experiences. I like hearing that you found hospitalization helpful. I didn't. But we can each share our stories without one nullifying the other.
I tend to find that if I say something bad happened to me, the general response often is "I'm sorry that happened to you but just because it did doesn't mean that it happens to everybody" which is very invalidating and a way of silencing me.
I am interested in hearing about everybody's experiences of hospitalization, good and bad. I was happy to hear that Deneb was treated kindly.
In one of your old posts, I found it very interesting to see you write "I loved being restricted because it made me feel safe and taken care of." That is so completely and utterly opposite to my experience. I did not feel safe or taken care of. Differences are fascinating to me.
I guess I'm trying to understand why some people are abused and some aren't, not only in hospitals but in life.
