It's so violating. I don't understand why they did it. It isn't jail

the hospital i go to won't even allow visitors to bring their phones on the ward
its absolutely no electronics at all

they say this because they dont want vulnerable people in the ward to contact abusive or toxic family or friends
Thanks for this!

Yup. My husband couldn't bring his in either. I never asked why.
You would think they could contact toxic people by using the phone in the ward. We were allowed free range of the ward phones.

yeah thats what i thought too

i mean, i understand them not wanting toxic people to affect treatment, but i still think that maybe they should just monitor phone calls or something if they want to prevent that... but thats really invasive so they may as well just allow for people to bring their phones, or at least their laptops or something

Found out my sister is prob not coming for my birthday after all. First she said she was coming last week. Then this week. Then last week of august. Now first week of sept.

She always does this. Has been doing this all year. Since last year. I havent seen my nephew since he was 6 months old. Hes over a year old now.

Oh well. She has other priorities. Because shes been going to see her husbands family 3/4 times already since this year started.

lol... I managed to sneak in a razor in a psych unit so I can shave my ever growing chin hairs. I've had different rules with razors though... one place lets you have one when you shower and then have to give it back to them when you're done with it... one place makes you have someone with you and watch you shave... and well... another one didn't give out razor and only allowed them when the doctor say you can.

So I talked to my mom and dad, and it looks like my dad only experiences seeing occasional shadows, and when he was younger hearing voices trying to tell him what to do. Most of my conversation with my mom she was trying to come up with all sorts of reasons why I may be experiencing these hallucinations and delusions. She went all the way from talking about my father's and siblings niacin deficiencies (I may have them as well), to medication side effects, to things like the fact I had my first bowel movement before being born. Last but not least she said I needed to tell these things to **** off like my dad and anyone else struggling with mental health issues needs to do she said. It's not that simple...

Oh that stinks. You may end up liking it though. I am NOT a morning person. I barely stumble to the coffee pot. But when I went to the gym I went right after the kids got on the bus and I felt energized after. It was a great feeling.

Oh Kori, for 6 years I suffered with that man's voice and I finally got rid of him. I'll pray that you get rid of yours too.

I can't live like this it's absolutely horrible.

I haven't smoked in about a week because of the new vape though.

I just hate this I'm horribly stuck and unmotivated.

I feel so alone and scared.
I'm sorry you feel so awful. Sending you all the virtual hugs I carry in my pockets. Can you flush the drugs away?

Just hanging around. My husband is working on his mechanical things and the kids are off doing their own things.
I wish there were something to do.
What are you up to?

I'm thinking of taking a nap. I hate days like this.
I used to own a very active forum. I always had something to read/do. Then Facebook evolved and it became a ghost town. Maybe 12 dedicated posters. We decided to close after a couple years. Anyway that kept me busy. Then I played Facebook games which kept me busy. I left Facebook and the internet for 2 years or so. Now I post here.

Completely disregarding having a job, the problem with my time is, is that i have a whole bunch of stuff to do during the week. Groups, one on ones, spending time with friends, spending time with my dad. But nothing to do on the weekends. Both my pss's offered something to do Tuesday through Thursday, but my time then is already taken up. Ive got all this stuff to do during the week, especially during those three days. But nothing on the weekend.

Like? Maybe this is how weekends go. But i kinda like one thing to do a day. Most times anyway.

I cant keep packing stuff in during the week.

Bu i do realize i spend a great amount of time at my clinic during the week.

I would be happy to buy comics if you were close enough not to waste money on postal service. I especially love those large hardcover comics.
