How do I get locked in a mental hospital, /jp/?

I'm a NEET right now and that's great, but eventually my parents will die. I don't want to work. I just want to be left alone and fed. Mental hospitals sounds like an appealing option since prison would require talking to people and probably rape.

I just want to be thrown in a room, get a meal once or twice a day, no socialization, and that's it. Through meditation and exploring my imagination I can easily keep myself occupied and happy, I just need a place to sit for free and get food.

The government should provide more support to the hikki community.

It's not like we would take up any real resources. We just want cell-like rooms to live in quietly without any interaction with people. Is that too much to ask?

Do you have to pay if you're committed? I think I'm the kind of crazy where I'm pretty crazy, but still sane enough to know to hide it, but if I tried, I could probably get accepted into a hospital. But I think if I gave up on hiding, I really would go insane in time, without it to keep me in check

But I've always been a depressing introvert. Right from like pre-kindergarden when I was forced into daycare all I wanted to do was get back home and play video games. This sentiment was consistent up until probably middle school when I diversified my recluse activities a bit and additionally used the internet.

I think it's reasonable to assume a demographic of socially inept, repressed extroverts linger here. Their standing board presence at any time can be represented instances of unironic, short, intellectually incomprehensible posts among the initial replies.

I've had to tell you people this before. Hospitals are where sick people go to get better. It's the same with sanitariums.

They won't throw you in a nice room and leave you there OP. They'll try to help you. Meaning therapy and talking to psychiatrists and whatnot.

And when you're well enough to leave, they'll throw you out.

An active demographic of patients, in both these "hospitals" as well as formal psychiatric institutions represent permanent residents. Where do you think they stick the actually diagnosed autists?

You need to be really fucked in the head to be a permanent resident. Normal autism isn't going to cut it.

Humanity has no respect for a life that is lived inside of the mind. It's all about stupid material shit. Got to move those boxes, file those papers, write up that report, build the skyscrapers. How can any of this compare to the vivid worlds that can be created inside of the imagination? Life is so boring once the power of the mind has been unlocked, but they won't let you live in peace and they drag you out in the muck with the rest of them so you can earn enough to eat.

They won't let you have a computer or tablet in a mental hospital.

I was once involuntarily committed to the psych ward at my local hospital for some empty threat I made about hurting someone else, I didn't mean it but apparently someone took it seriously, anyway when I was there I had to remove all my cloths and change into a hospital gown, all items including my ipod, headphones, wallet, phone, and keys were taken from me and I was wanded down to ensure I wasn't hiding anything. There was literally nothing to do, I asked for my ipod back w/o headphones (not permitted due to danger to self and staff obviously) so I could at least play a game on an emulator I'd downloaded but they refused it was policy.

So don't think you have the luxury of having ANYTHING if you are locked up in a mental hospital. Especially not electronics.

>They'll try to help you.

This, annoyingly, is true. I've started seeing a psych recently after years of not leaving the house, since I'm worried refusing will lead to homelessness. She asked something along the lines of if I'd ever done a test for signs of autism (though the next week she said she thought I probably wasn't, which just bothers me more considering how many signs I show, if not that, then what IS wrong with me?).

No autism bux, no taking it easy. Just being forced to talk to a woman I can barely stand who seems to misinterpret half the things I say but I'm too anxious and unwilling to correct her. The questioning about how I feel is frustrating too, I have no idea, and don't know how to find out.

I have to go again on Wednesday, I've been outside more times in the past month than the past three years.

I'm wondering if it's worth trying to push for an aspergers label, but it bothers me. I'd have no idea how to bring it up after it had been all but brushed off last week, but if I don't - what then? I really wouldn't be surprised if it was at least partially responsible for the anxiety, I'm sick of reading over "signs of autism / aspergers in adults" and finding that I display the vast majority of the signs, but at the same time can't believe that I'd have it. Everything works in bell shaped curves, it's unrealistic to presume I'm some special outlier, I can't break that thought despite this deviant lifestyle I've been living.

They had magazines at where I was confined but I was at a short-term facility in the hospital ER. I don't know what policies long-term facilities have, I suppose if you don't cause trouble you would be permitted to read if they have books available. As for the nature of the books I don't know. I imagine there are certain books you would not but allowed due to the subject matter.

I'd never allow myself to see a professional, that's a scary thought if anything. Someone who gets paid by talking to you I mean, and this person does it every single day of his/her life. 9-5 talking to hundreds of people every week. Being nothing but an egg a dozen for them.
