I am so sorry you are dealing with all that. You can try to ask to switch rooms. The worst they can say is no. You can also explain why you do not feel safe.

You can request to speak with your doc about adjusting your meds so you do not feel dull or sui. You can also tell the doc why you feel unsafe. The doc may override the charge nurse and prescribe a room change. Also, you can tell your doc that you do not want to lose your job, and maybe see if they can do an outpatient observation, which will allow you to be discharged but still under their care.

Please no sui. We would miss you. There are some coping skills that can help like telling yourself this is only temporary, that you can focus on relaxing while you are under their care. You can use your assertiveness to ask for what you need. You can find something in the hospital that is a safe object or an activity like occupational therapy that you enjoy, even while feeling dulled. It is hard because bipolar or paychosis is different than what I have with the PTSD, so the coping skills might be different. I do not know, but I am trying. Please be safe and keep us posted.
