Hi Carla,

What's making you want to harm yourself at the moment?

It's important to keep reminding yourself you're less likely to be discharged if you hurt yourself. Well done for fighting it so far.

We are here to support you. Are you able to talk to anyone where you are at the moment?

Thanks I struggled over Xmas wanted to be with family but was not allowed leave then none of family come to see me I feel. Like self harming will be a release that I really need

It's understandable to have wanted to be with your family. I'm sorry they didn't came to see you.

I think harming yourself, while perhaps providing a small amount of relief, would make you feel worse because of being kept in longer/being under observation in hospital etc.

hey Carla,

have you spoken to anyone about your feelings of wanting to self harm?
Do you get on with any of the other patients there that you might be able to talk to, to feel a bit less lonely?

Self harming isn't going to get you anywhere, like Katie said, it may provide short term relief but you know they will find out and it won't do you any good in the long term.

Are you doing more groups now?

You know you can text me anytime xx

That sounds good Carla :)

Could one of the staff take you for a walk around the garden? I know it's not the same as being out out, but I found it really helpful when G took me around the garden, it was easier to talk about stuff too. Is he around?
