Thanks Alison.

Had a candid chat with the matron (lead ward nurse) tonight and she advised (very kindly, is an easy person to talk to) that though she and the rest of the staff believe that the consultant would be happy to discharge me next week... Was I to insist on going tomorrow and in light of their observations up to now, I would be sectioned.

Didn't exactly help my anxiety but I thanked her and I guess it summed up my situation. Not saying I won't have an anxiety attack tomorrow ( though the cocktail of anti depressant/anxiety/psychotic( ) + sleeping tablet may help a bit.

Going to try and rest as best I can and stay out of the way.

Ended up having to self administer (was allowed) a catheter so that I could pee (sorry if this makes anyone's toes curl) which I would have prefered to avoid. Ward will be in touch with the urology dept at a different hospital to catch up on my notes and get some advice.

Bit miffed, but I guess better it happened here than at home (kinda)

Oh and had my first experience of some bullying from another patient. Hopefully it was just a tonight thing so won't say much for now.
