I’m in a psychiatric hospital and it’s shit

I’ve been here nearly five months and seen so many people come and go. But I’m still here, because I still feel shit and acting on it. I really want to go home, so I need to stop acting on my thoughts.
There’s a woman who sings at the top of her voice up and down the corridors which I absolutely can’t stand, there’s another who has been transferred from a care home with what sounds like an awful chest infection and I can’t be in the same room as her, so when she comes in the lounge I have to leave, even when I’ve managed to find something on tv to watch.
The PRN medication does nothing. But the nurses are nice, after I put a complaint in about two horrible ones around Christmas time and they disappeared.
I really really really want to go home.

Just having a moan to pass the time and make myself feel better, please be kind.

Hi FFSOMG,

We're really glad to hear that you'll be going home for a few hours this weekend - that's such good news.

We can see you're getting some really good support from other Mumsnetters, but we thought we'd also add a link to our Mental Health resources, as we always do when threads like this are flagged to us. There are lots of organisations listed which may be helpful for you or anyone reading your thread. Here too is a link to the Samaritans website; their email address is [email protected].

We also like to remind everyone that, although we're awed daily by the astonishing support our members give each other through life's trickier twists and turns, we'd always caution anyone never to give more of themselves to another poster, emotionally or financially, than they can afford to spare.

Finally, we hope you don't mind but we're going to move this thread to our Mental Health section shortly.

Sending good wishes. Flowers
