I don't like the hospital

Post Reply New Topic

I haven't gotten any sleep tonight. My roommate snores like a Yeti. It's absolutely ridiculous, he should be required to use a snoring aid. I just sat in my bed listening to dragonforce all night. If I go to bed now, it'll take me forever to get to sleep, and then they'll wake me up for breakfast, which I don't want. They don't support my eating disorder here at the hospital at all. I can't try foods I've never had before, hell, I can't even smell them, I get really sick. No one knows why, but I've been like this since I was 5. As a result, there's only 3 things on the menu worth eating. My cereal I brought from home, tomato soup, and pizza. They think I'm just being picky, but I'm not, I literally have some kind of phobia of trying new foods and can't even put them close to my mouth. Even if I knowe they'll taste delicious (like pancakes) I still will get an unbearable stomach ache and likely throw up.

The only alternative is to order a pizza every other day, there really is nothing I can eat here. I basically starved myself yesterday because they refused to serve me the food I ordered.

I don't relate to any of the people here. Since I just turned 18 I'm forced to stay with a bunch of 45 year olds who are grumpy and don't like me. None of them play chess, either. One of them was blasting justin timberlake in his room and singing along to it. For what reasons, I will never understand.

Some of the nurses are strict and don't like us here. They're in their retirement ages and don't like working with us, short-tempered, and very refusing to what we need. They shine flashlights at night in our rooms to make sure we don't leave.

I like nothing about this place, I want out of here asap so I can go back to work. I miss my job, the smell of popcorn, and all my friends. This place totally sucks.

Well...you if you dislike the hospital so much, then you had better work hard on getting your act together and make this your
last hospital admission.

Best of luck to you!

I had a phobia of trying new foods as a kid, but that is pretty much gone now. I have this wierd ability to know the taste before I eat it by smelling it, it has never failed me.

I don't like the hospital either. I was in the hospital when I was 4-5 and lots of tests where done, and I was scared because I always knew that hospitals where a place to go if you where sick, and I did not feel sick.

I had blood work done every week, once in a while I would be placed in a sound-proof booth and listen to commands on what to do with with colored blocks and a box (I out-smarted one doc on some commands). One test I don't really remember what it was for, but I was really scared, I was laying on a cold steel table with stickers and wires on my chest going to some machines.... could be heart rate... but why would they need to know that?

One memory I can't stand was they kept me in a steel crib that the bars where way over my head even if you stood up, I remember calling it a 'silver cage'. I often sat in the corner with my kitty plush (That I still have today).

To this day when I walk into a hospital? Bad memories keep comming back.

Can you get some earplugs? Then at least you could sleep at night.
That`s too bad about the other people at the hospital, do you at least have someone there you can talk with?

Earplugs work quite well! I am super sensitve to sounds in the house at night, and earplugs cure that.
