Basically the title I got admitted last night by the police was assessed and I agreed to go into hospital so waiting for a bed but I dont want to. Today i asked to go home as I feel fine but they wont let me they have all agreed I have to go in and are waiting for a hed to be available to place me on the section so I'm stuck in a room with 2 members off staff and cant go anywhere I hate it. The staff are nice but I'm taking up space I dont need to be here.

Hey I just wanted to pop on this thread and say I think you're doing amazingly well @Chocolatethief. I'm so sorry to hear about your leak and I hope it is fixed. Don't let this set you back. You're very strong and I'm amazed at your courage dealing with all of this. Hope you have a good night tonight. Xxxxx

Your roof is leaking? What is next? A skunk in your kitchen? Smile
I hope you are able to move some things to protect them, or put things in plastic bags or containers. Sorry you’re having to deal with an additional problem. Hang in there.

Hi there chocolate, I recognise your name is it from some of the NI threads? Your treatment sounds all too like the service here at the moment. I work between 3 hospitals in the west (not mh) but would be happy to sit with you in a&e if you're ever there alone or just buy you a coffee. Keep going Flowers

I feel like my life is a joke at the moment my friend said what's going to be next. Going to be fixed on monday so they said not to sleep there till then so at my friends. Had to move my bed and some stuff but hopefully everything should be fine got buckets and a sheet down to catch water and the sheet is for if the ceiling comes down which they said is a high possibility not looking forward to going back in, in case it has

Crikey! I’m glad you have somewhere you can stay until it’s all fixed. I’m keeping all my fingers (and toes) crossed for you that the ceiling doesn’t come down! Your life isn’t a joke, you’ve just hit a tough patch but that’s ok, it will pass, keep going.

Oddgirlout · 28/09/2019 20:17

I hope you're ceiling stays where it should. Look after yourself whilst at your friends. Keep up all the self care that you can. Hope you have a good night xxx

Hi @Chocolatethief, I hope you’ve had a nice weekend at your friends Smile Fingers crossed for you that you’ll be back in your own bed tomorrow night!

In crisis house now, everything is to much and it was this or admission again but they do sessions here so water option and more freedom but they have said it's the last time I can go crisis house. Must say though it's the first time in a while I've asked for help and been listened to so that can only be positive I just need to keep fighting and trying my hardest. I want to beat this so badly but I need to not put as much pressure on myself.

You’re doing brilliantly. I’m glad you’ve been listened to.

Phycadelicsilhouette · 29/09/2019 19:39

I’m so pleased they’ve listened to you too @Chocolatethief, how long will you be able to stay? It sounds like a safe place to be and work on doing what you desperately want. To beat this! You have a great attitude to it re not putting too much pressure on yourself. I believe in you! Flowers

Oddgirlout · 29/09/2019 20:44

You can do this @Chocolatethief! You can focus on getting well without extra worries. What is it like there? Can you do some things you like doing, I don't know, it would be reading a book and a hot chocolate for me for e.g.

cakeandchampagne · 29/09/2019 22:47

You kept asking and (finally!) got some help! Well done on your positive attitude!

Chocolatethief · 30/09/2019 00:04

Hi, hope you got some sleep. What can you do today? Xx

Phycadelicsilhouette · 30/09/2019 11:47

That sounds nice, I recommend the OA and Atypical on Netflix! I hope you managed a decent sleep and are eating well. Have you got any sessions today? If so then good luck!

Phycadelicsilhouette · 01/10/2019 10:05

Hello @Chocolatethief I hope today goes well Flowers

Chocolatethief · 04/10/2019 15:29

I am doing better thankfully hope it lasts and will do whatever I can to make sure it does, went to the hairdressers this morning as my hair was all matted and she was lovely and amazing with it so that is one thing sorted. Have crisis team involvement for a few weeks so hopefully that will help keep me stable

Oddgirlout · 04/10/2019 16:10

Ooh did you get your hair cut as well @Chocolatethief?
Glad you're feeling better. What are crisis team doing to help? Hopefully they will be really helpful xx

cakeandchampagne · 04/10/2019 16:13

You sound good! And I bet your hair is lovely now! Thanks for updating. Flowers

Chocolatethief · 04/10/2019 17:05

Yeah cut short so its manageable she took before and after shots will upload them when I get them the change is massive so happy I got it done and they are seeing me twice a week so the only day I wont see anyone is a sunday for a few weeks

OP posts:
Phycadelicsilhouette · 04/10/2019 18:08

So happy to hear that you’re doing better, looking forward to seeing your haircut too, it sounds like she did a good job! Smile I hope things continue to improve for you and things continue to feel better. Just remember that healing is not linear and there will be little dips but you’ve got this!

Chocolatethief · 04/10/2019 19:14

This is before and after cant believe that they managed to help and how good it now looks it has definitely helped me and is one less thing to worry about. Been staying busy and trying to take everything one step at a time just need to keep up with that now just need to tackle my sleep and that is still bad.
