I tried to kill myself when I was 15 and had to go to an "acute care" followed by a "residential care" center. It's basically a private prison where you get to wear your own clothes. Every place is different, but usually it's very strict and structured. The fantasy of sleeping+reading+art is ludicrous, there is a tight schedule that they adhere to and more often than not your free time will be spent in a common area with people who are, surprise surprise, loving crazy. The doctors are always annoyed and grumpy, and they will most likely be from a foreign country and speak functional-yet-flawed English. If playing dominoes and cards with schizophrenics and manic depressives is your thing, go for it. All in all, it just made me immediately/instantaneously stable and did not really help. I did not find true mental peace until I slowed waaaay down on marijuana, stopped drinking, began meditating daily, and started working a real job every day and providing for myself. These places tend to just treat the symptoms (depression etc) until they go away as opposed to teaching you the skills to solve the roots of your depression. It's way easier to give you pills and breathing exercises than it is to shrink down into your mind and adjust your perception of your childhood and give you healthy paternal/maternal role models and a stable upbringing. Oh, and no shoelaces or belts. Oh, and your roommate is literally going through meth withdrawals and will break all of your things. The food was alright though. e: I'm just going to throw these book titles out here because at one time I was diagnosed as a schizophrenic (the diagnosis has been thrown out a few times by different doctors) and I believe they really helped me, and maybe they can help someone else: Prometheus Rising by Robert Anton Wilson A Little Book on The Human Shadow by Robert Bly For Your Own Good by Alice Miller He: Understanding Masculine Psychology by Robert A. Johnson (if u have a pp, op. idk if this book is good for girls) Also look into Carl Jung. It's not as exact and it is probably a bad idea to go purely off of Carl Jung's stuff (especially if you don't know German), but the fairy tale language and hints of esotericism/mysticism in his works are enough to get you interested in the whole armchair psychology thing and might set you on the path to self observation exercises.

El Puerco isn't a schizophrenic just a prophet speaking in an idioglossia that none of us can understand
