I'm in hospital at the moment and I'm on 1-1 obs on while on the ward and 2-1 obs if I want to go In The garden.
Today I ran to my room and locked my door and sat on my bed crying because I was sick of being watched. Of course the staff just opened it again with there key. I have been on this level of obs for 5day (with one day on 15minute obs).
I feel really chlostraphobic. And it is starting to agitate me so much I'm considering running away. Even though I have been told that if I try to run away I will be put on a section.

I have been on obs like this during other admissions but I've never felt this tapped by them.

Does anyone have any advice on how to cope. I'm feeling really agitated.
