God, 1:1 obs, I HATED those. Gahh! Total invasion of privacy, especially when you're on the loo or having a bath.
I was in a secure unit for my borderline personality disorder and self harm. The borderline PD made me impulsive and I was nearly psychotic by the time I was sectioned, attempting overdoses too and getting reality confused with old memories. Gah, I never want to get that ill again.
I don't know if it traumatised me or not. But I know I'm ****ing glad I got out after six months, or it WOULD have sent me truly crazy. There were patients that had been in there for eight ****ing years.
