So I'm just gonna use this to thread to vent really, because I'm pretty frustrated and having a ****** time.

Got admitted to hospital on Tuesday night and things have not improved at all. When I saw the consultant on Wednesday she gave me the initial plan of discharge for Monday. She increased my meds and asked the nurse to refer me to the psychologist. It's saturday, still no sign of that psychologist.

As I came in as a voluntary patient I should be able to go out on leave (this has always been the case before). But I have not been allowed out at all. They keep coming up with different excuses and then threatening to section me if I keep asking.

Today I actually did get sectioned..for a whole half an hour before they were told they actually had no right to section me as at that time I wasn't trying to leave. So now I'm back as informal, but still not allowed out.

So my guess from this is I probably won't be discharged on Monday, but we'll see. I feel like they are just waiting to section me as soon as they can.

So yeah. I'm fed up, frustrated and just wanna go out for a damn walk!

I'm sorry you're having a bad time in IP. I hope you get the help you need though and that you feel better soon. Best wishes.

That does sound extremely frustrating... Have you been able to talk to the Psychologist yet? Hopefully they will sort out a plan that works for you and you will be able to go home soon.
Keep safe.

No psychologist yet. I don't think they work weekends..

I currently can't even hide out in my room as it's full of ants. Not sure where I'll be sleeping tonight..if I do at all.

It's just been one of those days!

It's terrible.. I hope things will improve soon. It may be one of those days, but days end, sooner or later.

Eeww!!!
Definitely complain about the ants! You shouldn't have to put up with that as well as how bad you are feeling.

(((hugs)))

Ants have been reported but as yet nothing done. Most seem to have died/gone away but my mattress and bedding has been moved to the quiet room so I can sleep in there.

I'm not liking not having my own private space to hide out in when I need to. Not that it's easy to hide when they are checking on you every 15 mins, but still away from other patients. Hopefully the issue will be resolved soon.

Didn't get seen by the doctor today even though I was told several times I would be. So maybe tomorrow? No one ever seems to stick to their word here... the psychologist approached me this morning to tell me she'd see me this afternoon, but she got too busy and ran out of time.

I really want out of here. It's taking all I've got to not discharge myself (or attempt to anyway) because I'm pretty sure they will just section me as soon as I do. They are already treating me like I am sectioned.

So yeah...that's todays rant I guess. Thanks for the hugs and support, helps to know I'm not so alone.

stay strong ((whisperingskye))

Thanks for the update. Hang in there!

How are you doing Whisperingskye, any sign of the Psychologist, or better still, news of going home?

I hope you are ok and safe.
Kind thoughts

I managed to get out for a brief escorted walk today. It was reported back to the nurse in charge that I "ran off." I didn't, just walked quicker than whoever escorted me...if I had ran off I wouldn't have got back to the ward! But I got out, that's the main thing. Have been told I'll be allowed out again tomorrow morning, just hope they will stick to this!

I had a brief chat with a psychologist who decided she wasn't sure what to do so is going to get someone else to see me tomorrow. Maybe this person will have more of an idea, or maybe I'm a lost cause..

I also saw the consultant today, no mention of discharge, but something she said suggested I won't be going home this week.

And my room is ant free at last which is a relief!

Moodwise I'm not good, and really nothing has changed since I've been here. I feel like I've just lost the will to even try anymore, it all seems pointless.

[Bill3]

I am happy to hear that you were able to get out for a bit. And no ants!

[feeshee]

Hope today has been a better day for you Skye.

[Bill3]

How are you doing today?

Hey, I'm sorry this is happening to you. Any sign of the psychologist yet?

[whisperingskye]

Today I'm mostly tired. Not much sleep last night. I just feel like I can't be bothered with anything. Don't have much to say really, have just been hiding out in my room most of the day.

No psychologist as yet..

[Bill3]

How are you doing now?

[Turtle_Rider]

Hope you're OK. That's must be boring there.

[whisperingskye]

Not much has changed really. I managed to have a bit of a better day a few days ago but then the news broke about the Linkin Park singer and that seems to have hit me pretty hard.

I've been getting out for a short walk each day, although that seems to take a lot of arguing everytime before they give in and actually let me go.

Other than that there isn't really much going on. Fed up with being here, but my parents have just gone on holiday so they are unlikely to discharge me to go back to an empty house..

[Bill3]

Did you ever get to see the psychologist?
