I work on a behaviour stabilization unit, Shygirl, and I know the type of behaviour you were displaying is reinforcing that your behaviour wasn't stable, and it isn't fair to blame the system. My thoughts are that you were in there for good reason; our healthcare system is grossly overtaxed, and you wouldn't have been in there without the triage system. If you don't want to be back there, you have to work on being stable. People are trying to take care of you. The nurses have to put up with a great deal from patients, as do all the workers in the hospital system, and it won't hurt you to appreciate that in general they're very kind and tolerant.
