I am hospitalized. I have to stay in the hospital for a few days. I am so bored. Today it is my first day. I am so anxious. But I need to stay here. I will try to be active here. Maybe this will help me. I hope I can sleep here. What activities would you try if you would be hospitalized?

I tried to be hospitalized due to diabetes. I don't know how I felt that time. Sometimes I wanted to die but because of my family, I need to make myself to remove my strength.

Just have your chargers so you always have internet and books as well. I always read when in hospital. Helps pass the time and also gets me tired enough to catch some sleep. Hope you feel better soon and get to go home.

I wish I could have internet. The signal is very poor.

Hope you feel better soon so you can get out of there. I went into the hospital twice when my 2 kids were born. The first time I was out in a couple days, but the second time I had to say for 4-5 days. I packed books and made use of the tv. If I were to go these days, I'd definite be using the smartphone.

I would try to read all the stuff I never have time to read, so I would have someone go to my flat to pick up stuff. Hope you don't have to stay in there for too long :-)

@dya80dya Then I might have tried those recorded books. They are usually too slow for me, but maybe if I was really tired they could work.

Walking down the halls(if allowed) to wave at sick patients and give them words of encouragement.

It is allowed. But I am afraid of sick patients. It is a hospital for mental illness. Some of them are extremely sick.

I've been in the hospital before. Not fun. It can get pretty boring. not that I have a chance to really do much. Nurses are always checking in on you.

Nurses came in our room even while we were sleeping.

I think the last time I was admitted in the hospital was when I gave brith which was more than 18 years ago. I normally get a private room when I'm admitted and I make sure there's cable tv. If I do get admitted these days, I'd probably be in mylot, watching Netflix or watching the cable tv.

I read books on my phone, played solitaire and also watched movies on it. It's still boring in the hospital but there's always things to do on your phone. I hope you aren't there for very long.

@dya80dya I'm sorry... Do you have headphones with you that you can plug into your phone and listen to quiet music? That might help you get to sleep.

What's wrong? Why have you been hospitalized? I don't want to be hospitalized if I am in my senses and can walk about.

If possible, I will watch movies from my tablet. Or I will try to sleep as more as I can since it is the best way for me to feel well soon.

If I were hospitalized, I would stay in my bed and play ill. On a serious note, I like reading so a good reading material would do, or play online games. I can even watch movies or shows online to pass the time.
