Fed up and lonely
 

Hi been feeling very lonely and fed up the last few weeks I really want to hurt myself I'm using all I can not to hurt myself I had enough being sectioned want to be discharge. I don't need to be in hospital anymore but pysc won't let me go had enough

Hi Carla,

What's making you want to harm yourself at the moment?

It's important to keep reminding yourself you're less likely to be discharged if you hurt yourself. Well done for fighting it so far.

We are here to support you. Are you able to talk to anyone where you are at the moment?

Thanks I struggled over Xmas wanted to be with family but was not allowed leave then none of family come to see me I feel. Like self harming will be a release that I really need

It's understandable to have wanted to be with your family. I'm sorry they didn't came to see you.

I think harming yourself, while perhaps providing a small amount of relief, would make you feel worse because of being kept in longer/being under observation in hospital etc.

I dont want to spend any longer In unit then I need to be I keep my head down and stay quiet see if that helps me

hey Carla,

have you spoken to anyone about your feelings of wanting to self harm?
Do you get on with any of the other patients there that you might be able to talk to, to feel a bit less lonely?

Self harming isn't going to get you anywhere, like Katie said, it may provide short term relief but you know they will find out and it won't do you any good in the long term.

Are you doing more groups now?

You know you can text me anytime xx

Manage not to self harm not got groups over Xmas and new year maybe I need them to distract me

Do you have any leave coming up?

Went on leave. Tonghit was nice to do something normal went for an Indian thoughts are Still racing need To get out!

That sounds good Carla :)

Could one of the staff take you for a walk around the garden? I know it's not the same as being out out, but I found it really helpful when G took me around the garden, it was easier to talk about stuff too. Is he around?
