And as i mentioned a lot of the adolescents have very different issues to those that I have. I try to pick out little helpful bits here and there where applicable but I mostly sit there (trying to stay "with it") and listen. At the very very least it gets me out of my room.

Lol. Walking helps me calm down when it's not too busy. When there are too many people/Mindreaders about, I freak out and go home.

I am sorry to hear that it is so horrible for you, but keep trying. Do you talk to the voices? Because a friend advised me that when I see the Spies or hear voices, I should be as harsh as possible to Them and tell Them to f off and that They are worthless sh*t.

I'm glad the group program is ok. Keep up with it. Picking out the helpful bits is wise. I agree that getting out of your room is good (I stayed in my room for most of the day on the ward and it made me worse).

How are your mood and your energy levels?

	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.
