Hi @cupcake88 - I'm hoping you feel better in yourself despite your surroundings. Are you managing to eat a little more? I also hope you get to see your partner & little dog over the holiday weekend. You're doing marvellously bearing up & getting through this, & I'm very proud of you. My thoughts are with you, & sending my love.

@Cress. Hi I’m glad you saw your son and you had a lovely time . It’s great to hear that he’s on the road to recovery . Does he already have a mental community health  nurse ? If he doesn’t they should find him a community nurse for when he’s discharged . I’m glad he’s comming home soon . 

There’s always doors banging and people being vocal . It is hard being here I just hope I come out and feel better .

Hi Every one 

I’m not having a good day today sorry  for all the negativity because you all know I try to be positive , but this morning a patient screamed at me for apparently putting some thing in her basket then she screamed at some one else clearly I didn’t know what she was speaking bout  but she did shake my hand after wards so guessing she was saying sorry .

this morning there was a patient screaming at 3 am at random all these sounds and noises put me on edge but I have been promised by the nurses that on Tuesday I should have my meds in  injection form then see how I get on and I should be out with in a couple of weeks . 

I want to thank every one for there support xxxxxxxxxxx

Hi @cupcake88 sorry you are having a bad morning and others are screaming I'm sure it isnt intended at you . They are no doubt quite poorly and cant control their outbursts 

I know it must be scary for you , are you allowed some headphones to listen to music 

You can get through this you are strong and you know your partner and dog are waiting for you at home 

Take care my friend x

Have you thought about starting a diary or journal you could write down your thoughts and what you are doing each day so you can look back at it in the future to remind yourself how strong you are

It's lovely to speak to you @cupcake88

I just wanted to say thank you as well for keeping in touch with us all. It's so helpful for everyone on the community to be able to catch up with you and to know how you're getting on. 

You look after yourself. And, as @janer1967 says, keeping a journal is a really good idea. I know that I've done that in the past when I wasn't feeling at my best. Even if you don't start that just yet, it could be good to think about that as an idea for the future, definitely!

You take care and I hope you have a restful evening

@janer1967 hi how are you Yes I have started writing a diary so I can help others . I’m really hopping that I can update every one in a few months saying I’m more stable and that I feel better . 

Yeh I’m not taking it personally as every one here is poorly .
no ones been aggressive to any one just shouty and screaming either at others or to them selves . 

I really appreciate the support xx

cupcake88

@Caz_Scope. I’ll try my best  to update every one when I can xxx

It's great you're keeping in touch @cupcake - letting us know the highs, as well as a few dips down low. I'd be like you, the noise would be so difficult to deal with. I'm sure with your determination you will feel a lot better soon.

I'm pleased you'll get your meds by injection very soon, & hope that's the way forward for you. We all miss you, & hope it's not long before you get back home & get some proper rest again. Sending hugs, xx

I hope I’ll be at home soon back to my self xxxx thanks for your support
