I'm on a mobile so selectively quoting is difficult, but I'll answer your questions the best I can.
Inpatient treatment is serving three purposes for me: its allowing me to adjust to medication in a safe environment, its allowing me a break from things that were causing my anxiety, and its impossible for me to throw myself under a bus while I'm here. The last one is only slightly tongue-in-cheek.
From my therapist's perspective, I am here for the same reasons, but also so my medication can get me to a point where non-pharmaceutical therapy can once again be effective.
Most of the people are here are just normal people who've reached the end of their rope. It's not "one flew over the cuckoo's nest" or anything like that.
I wish you the best of luck with medicine, doctors, and the choices you make - you already seem like a really cool dude from the ocean (as we are all from there).
Mr. Hanky loves you!
