My current living situation often leaves me feeling isolated, I found that my time receiving treatment in the psychiatric facility provided significantly more social opportunities and interaction. Within that structured environment, I was able to engage with both peers and medical professionals on a regular basis. This frequent socialization did much to alleviate the loneliness I experience in my daily life outside of such a setting.
Interacting with others was readily facilitated in the ward through both scheduled activities and informal discussions. I formed bonds and connections more easily there than I typically do now in my normal routines. The social aspects of that experience served as a reprieve from what can at times be a solitary existence. Though the circumstances were difficult, being in that therapeutic community left me feeling less alone and bore.
I have found that I often look back fondly on the peak social period during my psychiatric admission. While recognizing the complex realities of that time, the relational fulfillment it provided stands in contrast to my present experiences of isolation and lack of engagement. Though wishing cannot change my current situation, some part of me holds out hope that I might find community comparable to what sustained me within those walls.
