Hey everyone,

I've only gone and managed to get a week's leave from hospital, haven't I? Well, yes I have - hurray! I'm very pleased about it. Trying Abilify and still adjusting to this strange environment called home where you don't have to ask for permission to do to everything

Hello, Stark777. Glad you are getting a respite from the hospital regimen.

Are you being helped there?

Um, yes and no - some of the people are really nice (both staff and patients) but I very much felt that I was working just as hard as the staff and was slightly paranoid that that was the reason they wouldn't let me go. It got to the point where I was so anxious on the dorm that I was on that I couldn't sleep at all. Just had about 4 hrs but with nightmares here at home

It is a very stressful ward where someone is always shouting about something - not a calm environment at all and people are not allowed to smoke at night but try to anyway out the windows.

I feel I can be helped here much more for example - thanks for replying
