I'm sorry the voices have come back, can you think of what might have triggered that? I'm glad you know not to trust them. Have you spoken to someone about what's happening?

I told the nice hca D, I don't know if she has put it in my notes. I've written some stuff for today's meeting, including that my risk score has gone from 3 to 4.5
Thanks. The meeting was odd. She said other people wouldn't be patient, waiting for opportunities to take out the implant, that I was planning. I said I supposed I was different. It almost felt as if she wanted me to be kicking off the whole time! But after all that I still have no leave. She's increasing my sertraline too.
Waiting patiently for leave doesn't seem to be getting me anywhere. Maybe I should be like the 'other people ' the psych was talking about, and try to leave the ward again?
I don't think you should be thinking too much about what the psych thinks about PRN. If you think it would help give it a try. It's better for you to ask for it and take it if it makes you feel better / stops things escalating
we would see it as good that you know you are struggling and trying to do something about it. but we have no idea what a psych would think. the entire point of having prn is for having if you need it.
Please do not give me virtual hugs unless you are only using the hug function on threads. Thanks.
You can't always keep it separate.
This is happening, this is part of you.
I think my psych and the nurses in general were pleased when I was using PRN less but that was only because I was needing it less. It's important that you ask for it if you need to so that things don't get worse.

I'm worried that if I keep telling the truth I won't even get leave for Chtistmas. Do you think an 85% belief in the implant is low enough to be thought safe? I still have plans whirling round my head.
don't think any of us can really decide that. but we do think telling the truth is important and more likely to get you leave than trying to hide things or lie would.

I agree with Camden that you should always tell the truth. It will help people do what is best for you and if they know you are honest they will know that you are being honest when things get much better. You can have thoughts and beliefs and not act on them but it can be complicated and hard to predict. I hope you're ok.

but lying to get out and try something will make them not trust you, and probably mean you have to stay in hospital even longer. more than likely would also mean no leave for christmas.

Why is it too long since you last tried? Why do you have to keep trying when nothing comes of it? I think you should be focusing on more positive ways forward.
