Need support

Sorry to come back here and ask for support. I'm struggling last Friday l got sent to ED. From there l got sent to the psych ward where l struggled to eat or drink due to wanting to harm myself, anyways my blood sugars dropped really low so on Wednesday night they sent me back to ED.

I was then placed on a treatment order. I had to have an iv infusion. I was told if l didn't start eating soon they would insert a tube. So l have since been eating and drinking but it's hard it makes me want to hurt myself in other ways.

Also am really struggling as have been in the same clothes since Wednesday and l feel so disgusting. I already struggle with feelings of being unclean even when l do have fresh clothes to change into. Anyways sorry for the ramble but all of this is not helping the suicidal thoughts l have.

Is there anyone who can bring you some fresh clothes? Or is there laundry available on the ward that they could wash what you have at least?
Really proud of you for trying to eat and drink. I know how hard it can be when you have so much going on, but your brain will be able to process everything better when it is fed and watered. Really hope things lessen in intensity for you soon and that you can get some support while you are there.



Please do not give me virtual hugs unless you are only using the hug function on threads. Thanks.

I'm glad you were able to get some clothes and it sounds like there's a plan in place for you. Hope it's not too awful on the ward.

How's it going on the ward? I'm glad you got some clothes and I hope the medication is helpful.

I hope you settle in quickly and there are good staff you can talk to. Good luck with the new med.





I put it down on paper and then the ghost does not ache so much.

You didn't come this far just to come this far.

They have now decided to do ECT. I either start tomorrow or Friday. I'm a bit scared about it. Thanks for the support
