LydiaB, I had to smile at your Rule No. 2, because the second time I was hospitalized there was this schizophrenic woman, totally out of touch with reality, with a shaved head, heavy black eyeliner, and a deep voice. The first couple of days she took a liking to me and was so kind and friendly, and then she turned on me with a vengeance, getting really vicious and in my face. She scared the %#$@ out of me; I couldn't wait for my release! (In retrospect I was kind of angry about this -- I had my own issues to deal with, obviously, and I didn't need the kind of crap she was sending my way, and that staff did virtually nothing.)
