Saw dr today, taking into account the past week he has extended my discharge time by 4 weeks. Wanted to speak to my wife before me and from what I gleaned from her later he is unable to section me as though my depression and anxiety is a cause of concern re my safety (+ self harm) I am lucid if not exactly rational.
However he quizzed her over my behaviour, personal relationships and general personality and reactions to things since she's known me (15 years).
When I went in to join them (they talked for a good half an hour) we had a frank chat and covered a few issues that were bothering me.
All in all it was an alright appointment... Back on level 3 though they've taken away my unescorted walks completely (I have to be with a member of staff or family).
Waiting to talk to my named nurse some point this evening - bit nervous as she is quite strict and as she's got me writing down my feelings and actions as they happen, I think she is going to tell me off (had a small wobble this morning).
