Sounds like you're having an awful time at the moment and I'm sorry that you ended up ligaturing the other night. How was yesterday and how is today going?
Thanks. I want to bash my head but my cover up method isn’t covering up the noise. I went homr fir a day pass yesterday and it was way too much. I need to take smaller steps. I have a blade that doesn’t do much but i can’t admit i have it. The men are so powerful. I need a kind person.

Thanks everyone. I don't think I have been discharged at the right time but will try to get on with it. They messed up my meds so I had none yesterday or this morning. Things are overwhelming. People are expecting me to get straight back into doing normal stuff after 6 weeks in hospital. I don't have any support because my CPN is on holiday and I missed an appointment with my support worker. My key worker wants to meet me before the gym group but it's so hard to even do peopling right now, in person, on the phone, text, PM, whatever. The only way I can access support until my CPN comes back is the usual phone call. I'd like a person to hang around my house not getting in my way but being there when I need them, a bit like hospital I guess.
I should be in physical pieces. I don't want to be saved.
I will try hard to get back into supporting here.

I'm sorry you don't have much support at the moment lindsay
Remember we are always here if you need us, though I know it's not the same as real life support.
I'm fine! Totally fine. I don't know why it's coming out all loud and squeaky, 'cause really, I'm fine!
This may turn into a ramble. I'm sure I have definitely been discharged at the wrong time. My first 4 weeks or so in hospital were spent doing nothing much than going to the shop with staff or spending five minutes at the front door on my own to hope I wouldn't run away to the train station again. Then all my passes were crammed into less than a week and I usually need them spaced out with breaks to feel properly confident at home. Everyone just wanted me to go home. I briefly got to see OT and we made plans but then the doctor cancelled OT so he could send me on pass. I was also supposed to see the IP psychologist and that never happened because they gave me no time to access all the support.
People said I wouldn't be discharged if I wasn't ready but I knew that was bollocks so I just agreed with them that it was time for me to go home. I couldn't explain what was wrong anyway, at that point I didn't have the words to explain that I need more passes and input from OT and psychology.
I was just about getting to the coping stage when I was in hospital but the things that weren't right have continued into the community and a lot is worse at home. Really stupid things like my balance is terrible, I'm slapping my head loads more, I'm avoiding people, I'm hearing messages in all sorts of sounds, crossing the road is a task and this is one of the things that happens when I'm unwell. Anyway. I just think I was rushed through hospital and that wasn't helpful. I can't phone anyone. I'm just doing my best to avoid train stations.
I was thinking about how much I struggle and how some people think mental illness isn't a disability. I can't imagine this struggle plus trying to be a 'normal' person and have a job etc. I'm cracking up. I need someone.

I am so sorry you've been treated that way, that was wrong and they should have stuck to what they said in respect to all the input you'd be getting but then you were rushed out. Are you still in regular contact with your CPN? I wonder if they are able to put you in touch with an OT in the community?
My CPN is on holiday at the moment and I only wanted to work with the inpatient OTs to help me through my admission, I don't need OTs in the community plus I don't feel comfortable with the one who would be allocated to me.
It's wild here. Something is on fire in the other world and I don't know how to put it out and the followers are screaming but that will only make them inhale more smoke.
I'm constantly getting overwhelmed by every big thing and every little thing. My skin says no to self harm and that's not good. I can only do minor stuff which is not enough.
I'm being plagued by things that aren't helped by self soothing. I miss the good nurses on the ward who could help to reassure me.
I wish I was more tolerant of the cold so I could please the men at least.

I'm sticking to my housework routine anyway, and I still have to collect my meds daily.
I'm finding I can't really do journeys well because of the other world stuff and my balance and my difficulties with crossing roads and fear of bumping into people. I just don't know what to do. I really need to see my CPN but she won't have answers either.
There is CCTV specifically watching me. There are beeps and all sorts of scary noises and cracks where the smoke from the other world is coming through.
The cats are even feeling too much for me.
I actually do think if I had been kept in hospital to work through things more slowly I'd be doing better than now.
Nothing really helps to ground me because my head is full and unbalanced and I feel lightheaded.
I've had to many just on time to 'save' mes, I want out.
