Oh whoops. I didn't know. Sorry control freak.
I was in a PICU and I was on 2:1 for two weeks, then 1:1 for the rest of the time.
I came to the PICU on a section 136 and had to stay there because I was attacking staff left right and centre and self-harming the minute someone turned their back.
Restraints suck a lot. Had five nurses on top of me and had no choice over what they injected into me. Fifteen minutes and I was out.
I kicked off several times a day myself, so I feel somewhat guilty now for putting the other patients through that.
There was quite a lot of screaming and crying on the ward, especially when a section 136 person came in.
I wasn't even allowed my belt or my shoes on the PICU and anything electric was taken away. I did manage to get my phone a few times when I was in my better stage.
Probably one of the worst things was that I was over-medicated and could barely walk at one point.
Staff were really nice though - some of them were amazing and got me out of sh*t. The staff there were extremely well trained. I delivered a present to them recently because of their help.
Psychiatrist was completely subliminal though.
