Thanks Blue! At the beginning of my admission my psychosis told me all medical staff were controlling, manipulating and conspiring against me. This made it VERY difficult. I was beyond terrified and had to be verbally (gently) coerced into co-operating. Some thread of sanity must have been there. This was beyond terrifying but as my life was in danger it had to be done.

You are right, trusting most medical professionals who are genuinely looking out for your wellbeing is the best thing to do. Once the psychosis stopped I was amazed I couldn’t trust them in the past as they were all so caring. A good hospital can be the best place to be in these circumstances. I am so glad I was made to go. It saved my life.
