I would be totally honest with your new therapist, it's the only way he can help you.

It will give you an excuse to get out more...visit new places...ie maybe there will be more than a gas station there? It would be nice if there was a library or something...you can check out all sorts of movies and music these days in addition to the books.

Yeah that's the book I read last summer/autumn! I thought it was really good, and I related to how it said that the voices come from you/your history (though many MH professionals dispute this). And then the 50 histories are all in the back, which was really interesting to hear so many varied experiences. I hope you find the book interesting JunkDNA.

THIS place is horrible I got put under suicide watch again because the nurses saw some of the old scars on my arms/wrists from when I used to cut myself frequently So they freaking said they were new I told them NO they were old scars but they searched through my room to make sure I didn't have any sharp objects hidden they said if they find any other scars they'll put me under another suicide watch. Whatever they won't find jack on me..I thought they are supposed to be trained to know when a scar is fresh or not anyway? They don't seem to know what they are doing.This is all wrong. Only 4 more days though! Maybe I won't flip out and try to strangle anybody lol...these people are driving me over the edge putting me in a situation that I really don't want to be in almost making me have thoughts or harming others but I do have some self control left in me. I got to see my Fiance' thankfully seeing him put some stability in the atmosphere for me it made me very happy he agreed with me that this place sucks he'll be glad when I'm back home too. I have 4 more days of this hell! hopefully I can hold out. I think that one bossy nurse is the one that got my scars searched and set up the whole thing I don't think she likes me and I think she's plotting against me for some reason. I guess no one can dare challenge her authority... How is everyone? Newtus are you doing better today?

thats how it is man. even KUREHA is in hospital and said she got dragged to her room twice and restrained one time. thats partly why i dont like hospital. they were strapping people down to beds when i was last friday. they called a "code purple" on two people that day.
ive been restrained many times. in many ways. in all ways possible.

im doing better today. but my paranoia is still high. its flaring up. no voices tho. well very very little voices. im still having trouble but doing better than a few days ago.

Glad to hear you're feeling better I'm sorry To hear she's still in the hospital hope she gets out soon too. I will be so glad to be home from this place. It's making me feel terrible. I am so afraid they are gonna try to restrain me or put me under suicide watch again so it's making me very paranoid and sick to my stomach too.
