I'm being discharged tomorrow. So happy I get to see Bertie.

I've lost my job.

Are you being discharged with any help for when you get back home?.

Crisis team

Can you get documentation that you were in hospital to give to your job? Typically if you provide documentation that your absence was due to illness they cannot fire you for not coming in.

I'm so scared now.

It's understandable. What exactly scares you?
*leaves a safe hug if needed*

I'm not sure I can rebuild my life again. And I haven't had to fend for myself or been on my own for like 3 weeks now.

Of course it's scary but I think you can do this. Hopefully crisis will be able to offer you some decent support and with that other support can be brought in. Be honest with the crisis team and try and focus on small things and on being with Bertie.

I'm trying not to think of the big picture but it's very overwhelming. Crisis are coming tomorrow at 4.15. I've been snuggling with bertie on the sofa since I got home which has been lovely. I'm scared.

Are there some little things you can think of instead?

It's your first night home and that is always huge. Think about your immediate needs and Bertie's immediate needs. Other things can wait for now.

I'm going to put jarmies on and maybe have tea or hot chocolate now. And tomorrow morning I will go and buy bread and fruit. Then probably nap until crisis comes.

Oh and it's dressing change and shower day tomorrow and I may treat myself and blow dry my hair.

Ooo fancy! I'm glad you are looking after yourself. I hope the crisis people are helpful.

I really can't do real life again. I'm panicking

Try not to panic! (Because that's easy!) You can take things slowly and it's fine to need lots of support. You will need time to stand up.

I can't. I have no job or money and no way to pay the bills and owe my parents a lot of money.

Can you apply for benefits, just until you're ready to work and find a job?

It's ok to just think about the immediate here and now at the moment Lillie. So PJs, tea, etc. You can discuss all the big things with crisis.

Yep. Tonight. Just focus on tonight and right now.
