My daughter, who does have psychological issues (don't we all?) but nowhere near the need to put her in a facility, has heard so many horror stories about them that she was terrified we would put her in one someday. It doesn't help that there's a mental hospital that down the road from us that has super severe patients. Her psychiatrist is part of their network and I didn't understand that it wasn't in that building for her first appointment, so she also had the misfortune of seeing some people with problems far more severe than hers when we went to the wrong place. I felt bad for her, but I also think it helped her understand that her symptoms are not even remotely close to the severity that would have anyone consider putting her in one, so maybe it was for the best. She certainly has not expressed that fear since we made that accidental trip there.
I'm glad you made it out of there with your mental health in tact enough for you to come across as a basically mentally sound person to everyone here.
