So, I hear from a lot of people that you can't take phones into a mental hospital

But on .gov websites that explain explain legal rights,
It says that you have the legal right to have a smart phone in hospital as long as you respect others privacy and it's not somehow detrimental to your recovery 👀

Maybe they changed things recently?
I dunno

I’m not sure how things work in Australia, but when my man checked himself into a psychiatric hospital earlier this year, he was allowed access to his phone on certain days. 🤷‍♀

For many people it probably is, especially among those you read about online.

@NerdyPotato but what if most of your coping tools are on your phone?
Like drawing, journaling etc? 👀

@Fishy maybe you can get one without internet access, or do those things on paper.
