I've done so so well (for me) for over 6 months no admissions or drinking or much self harm voices under control etc but just recently I've been struggling more with the voice and thoughts and shit and I've been admitted which is a bit of a shock as I didn't realise I could be perceived as that ill (I think my problems are mostly spiritual atm not mental health but that's irrelevant l). This ward is especially difficult for reasons I can't say here out of paranoia but I'm just feeling desperate I don't even know if I'm sectioned or not I just feel so bloody confused and threatened and scared. So yeah any hugs reasons not to do myself in would be appreciated <3

Hey, I know we haven't talked in ages but i'm sorry to hear that you're struggling.
This may be silly, but it always helped me when I was inpatient... Do they have a schedule somewhere? perhaps posted on the wall? There typically wasn't much "stuff" going on where I was at, but just knowing what time different parts of the day happened was helpful. I would count down from one event to the next.
You mentioned that you're feeling paranoid. Is there any staff there that seem approachable? Or do you have a point staff assigned to you? (like the one staff who is supposed to be your go-to for information and such).
this is my magical medicine cabinet. Left to right they contain: courage, hope, calmness, and strength.
The magical part: They NEVER run out, so borrow some any time you want.
Oh gosh, it's the worst not knowing what's going on. Could you find a nurse or someone in charge and ask? I know it's probably late there so if not tonight, maybe first thing tomorrow?
Sending you loads of love, Katy. I know it's hard but it's encouraging to hear that (at least from the sound of it) that you didn't actually harm yourself.
Please do not give me virtual hugs unless you are only using the hug function on threads. Thanks.
You can't always keep it separate.
This is happening, this is part of you.
Thanks everybody. Still not seen a doctor so am unclear what's going on but have calmed down a little. Just keeping myself to myself and listening to tunes atm
