"Gave me a reason to live"

About: Priory Hospital Ticehurst

So i've been in and out of mental health hospitals with "schizophrenia" for half of my life and never felt the need to leave a review of a hospital before. I grew such a big respect for the staff at the adult ward here that I felt I really needed to leave a review.

I saw previous reviews moaning about board games and being bored, but personally I was unwell. Meaning... I was so unwell playing board games or going shopping wasn't even on my mind. I caused the staff hell at times when I first came in... but the better I got, I became scared that staff would treat me with hatred for what I did to them... for the first time in my life I wasn't. The staff were amazing... the nurses and psychologists made me feel listened to and were human!! I could turn to them when I felt low and when I just needed a laugh.

The hospital setting is really pretty, but don't expect mobile signal as it's in the countryside.

For me this was the best hospital experience I've ever had. I had a couple issues and the manager sorted straight away! I hope if I have to be put in hospital again I get sent here!

Thank you all for giving me a reason to live!
