Sounds pretty sane to me. I would add that

You must follow the rules. Don't take the rules personally, it's mainly to help the staff do what they're supposed to be doing and allow the supervisors to be sure they are at least working at it.

Don't expect to spend the day in your room. Don't expect to be able to return to your room for anything, as they often lock the rooms when patients are supposed to be in a therapy group.

Don't show upset if you can at all manage it. Upset is written down as a negative and will go against you. Try to discuss all grievances as an adult, even though it's YOU who are struggling dealing with the way the real world operates (through no fault of your own) you must act normal while confined.
