The program (from the timetable-type thing) has all sorts of groups, mindfulness, art therapy, distress tolerance, people skills, stuff that looks helpful really. It is helpful as it means I'm not so isolated but it is a little difficult to go and be in a room with quite a few people for an extended period. The staff seem quite nice too.

I'm glad its a relief. I hope that you will be able to speak to the staff, although it is hard if you don't know them.
I'm glad the program looks helpful. I tend to avoid all groups because I'm somewhat socially problematic and the noise of the day area makes me want to scream (I have had several meltdowns in the day area). BUT don't let me discourage you! By all means keep up as much as you can with the program, I hope it helps.
Are you on any meds now?

	PM me if you want a PDF copy of the ICD-10 or the Mental Health Act 1983/2007. I ALSO HAVE THE DSM-V BOOK and am a pharmacology student. I have a visual impairment / neurological problems so I need people to type in clear text and no funny fonts. Also excuse any typos, my vision blocks things out. I have autism and have problems communicating, PMs included. Just becasue I type well doesn't mean I speak well. I am only part time verbal.
