Group therapy multiple times a day was honestly a godsend for me. A lot more guided activities, outside time, the day was much more scheduled with therapy, activities, and daily visits with the doctor. When I was at Greenbriar in LA, I didn't see a doctor for days, nothing but meals and smoke breaks were scheduled, and no therapy, group or otherwise, to speak of. It felt more like a lockdown and less like the place of healing it's supposed to be

Edit: I, however, was hospitalized for depression/suicide attempts. I don't have any experience in schizophrenic units, just the depression and affective disorder units. So my experiences and y'all's may be entirely different

Stabilizing medication and making sure I don't kill myself

I spent time in psychiatric hospitals in both Louisiana and Florida and I can say undoubtedly that Florida is far, far, far superior.

Think you could help out other girls too? I've been ghosted more than a couple of times this year and a service like this actually sounds kind of helpful, rather than my friends just being like "men are trash; you'll find the right guy eventually"
