My care plan was good. I was depressed when I came in and didn't speak at all, felt terrible being around people. But being offered inclusion I started to opt in rather than out and became a little more confident. :) Its sad but my admission was the first time in a very long time when I felt safe from people, like people were not trying to harm me, that good experience was the start of a growing faith in humanity; that there are at least some nice people out there.

Ear plugs sound really useful. Partner would have thrown hers around at the time but they did try and introduce some simple things when she got a bit better like colouring books and she could have the radio on quietly. I'm glad you met someone helpful for you. It makes a huge difference to have someone caring and kind when your so vulnerable and unwell.

Oh ok. Your partner sounds like she was very unwell, how is she doing nowadays? I'm glad that they found ways to help her.

Yes, having someone caring and kind is very, very helpful.

I had one nurse yell at me "you have the power to speak, so do so!" at me when I went non-verbal and I ended up running to my room. They followed me but luckily the good nurse found me and gave me pen and paper.

I'm glad your care plan helped. Do you have an advance directive? I hope that you don't end up in hospital again, but if you do I hope they help you like last tume.

	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.
