So after 3 and a half very long months I have finally been discharged from hospital.
I now have a flat and things are supposed to be getting better....

The problem is, I don't think the professionals realise how quickly people become dependent on their environment, such as hospital, where there are people around 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, there is always someone to talk to and ways to keep active. I don't think they realise just how difficult the transition is...

I've rearranged my living room, put all of my belongings in their place, cleaned the flat, spent time on the internet looking at houseplants and other various bits to make the place feel more homely. Now I am bored and it's going to be more than 24 hours until I see someone from the crisis team who is coming by to check up on me, by which time it would have been 48 hours since seeing anyone.

In hospital they constantly talked about social inclusion and keeping busy and promised me things would be put in place when i get discharged so that I wouldn't be on my own and there would be things to do. But surprise surprise sod all was done and now all I have is time for my mind to race.....

Does anyone else feel like they are constantly let down by the mental health services?

Sorry, just needed to moan. At least it passed 5 minutes.
