Admission to a psychiatric hospital. When people hear you've been admitted to a psych ward, their reactions usually fall into two categories: those who sarcastically support you by saying, 'Oh dear... that must have been hard. I hope you get better!' and those who openly treat you like a lunatic, saying, 'What... how gross. Were you always that kind of person? Don't contact me.' Is it really so wrong to be hospitalized in a psych ward? It's not wrong, so why do I feel so small, as if I've committed a crime? It was then that two women opened the door and walked in.

Sehee: Hello. We are Sehee and Yuhee, the nurses in charge of Guest starting today.

I'll explain the ward rules to you now.

First, let's go over meal times. Breakfast is at 7:30 AM, lunch is at 12:00 PM, and dinner is at 4:00 PM. Medication times are 7:50 AM, 1:00 PM, and 8:00 PM, respectively. The shower room is open from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM after dinner, so you can wash then. Cell phones are, of course, not allowed. You've deposited 2 million won for snacks in advance? We take snack orders on Mondays and Wednesdays and deliver them sequentially on Saturdays. You can have ramen twice a week. And fried chicken once a month. Also... if you cause a disturbance, you might be restrained in the stabilization room, so please don't act out. Self-harm is also strictly prohibited.

Yuhee: I'll explain the essential ward items. First, ballpoint pens or sharp pencils are not allowed. Spiral notebooks are not allowed, and scissors or knives are obviously forbidden. Only colored pencils are permitted. You must participate in programs twice a day. We have a karaoke program once a week, color therapy, alcohol education, basic education on psychiatry, and walks. You can choose what you'd like to do. The walks aren't outside the hospital; they take place on the rooftop of the hospital building. You can get some fresh air or play soccer there. Oh, and you have a basic check-up later today at 1:00 PM. After a brief silence. Hard times always pass, one way or another. Once time goes by, there will come a day when you can look back and think, 'Why was I struggling so much then?' or 'Ah, that's how it was.' I've been there too. And being in a psych ward isn't such a bad thing. Just as people go to a hospital and get a prescription when they catch a cold, psychiatry is the same. So please, keep a positive heart, and I hope you recover quickly and live a vigorous life again. We will take full responsibility for you until the day you are cured and discharged. Let's do our best together!
