Well I had another bad anxiety/anger attack. As they've taken everything I could use as a sharp off of me I was left to screaming, punching my wall and kicking my chair... Proper little tantrum

Was warned by one of the nurses that they are getting worried and if I'm not careful I could be put on level 1 (on 2 at mo) which would mean a member of staff would be with me all the time.

Got to desperately try and stay calm... I want to be back on level 3 but the nurse explained that on level 3 you are checked once an hour and if I flipped out, hurt myself in some really bad way then I could be either seriously hurt or worse before they noticed so they are definitely keeping me on level 2 for now.

The thought did cross my mind to escape... There is a 7 foot fence in the yard (I'm 6'1) that I could fault to get to the roof (single floor layout). Thought better of it of course but did mention it to my wife who said that I am getting old (actually said 'not spritely) and if I fell the injury would make things even worse.

Very frustrated but will do what I can to stay calm till Thursday when I'll be seeing the psychiatrist.

Oh, they've signed me off work for a further 4 weeks which also worried me and I asked what that meant.. Was reassured that that does not necessarily mean I'll be here still for 4 weeks.
