I know I have been asking a million questions today, but your answers make me feel less alone on my Bipolar Journey.  


Anyways, I am curious what your Inpatient Stays are like!  Sometimes when people write about theirs, they seem so different from what I experienced. So, if you feel like it, answer these questions:

&amp;#x200B;

Where (Country - but feel free to be more specific if you would like):

How Long:  
Voluntary or Involuntary:

Could you wear your own clothes?

Could you keep your cell phone?

Did you have a telephone in your room?

Did you have your own toilet?

Did you have your own shower?

Did you have your room?

Did you have access to the internet?

How often did you see a psychiatrist?

Did you have to participate in group therapy?

Did you have individual therapy (and if so, how often)?

Were you allowed visitors?  
If you have children, were they allowed to visit?

Were you allowed to leave the ward for smoke breaks?

Could you leave the ward on a hour pass/day pass/weekend pass?

Was your experience positive or negative overall?  


Did you leave healthier compared to how you came in?
