you're none of those things, you are a loving, sweet, gentle human bean who is clever and deserves to be happy

*sits in corner sipping tea* can't sit still, can't stop seeing him GO AWAY GO AWAY *hides*

Thank you, I wish I could be happy!

Tea is a wondrous drink. Do you think doing something physically active might help, like going for a run, putting on loud music and dancing like crazy, that sort of thing?

I'm waiting for the washing to be done so that I can put it on the line, I'm currently really scared that I'll end up hurting myself but Im fighting against the urge

I don't have problems sleeping it is just that because of obs I couldn't have the light off or door closed and was woken every 15-30 minutes from radios, doors banging, shouting etc.

Problem is I haven't had a ward round since I've been here. Have only seen doctors for mental health act assessments. All I want now is to be discharged, this whole thing has been a horrible mistake. Am going to have a tribunal but don't know how long it will take. Probably at least a couple of weeks. I hope they will at least hold off on meds until then.

Good thing is I finally saw a doctor (one off another team apparently - mine are ****ing useless) and he has agreed to take me off obs. Massive relief.

Just noticed my reflection for the first time in a while and nearly keeled over. Haven't shaved in two weeks and I look like a caveman, thick full beard. That together with the bleary eyes makes me look like I belong in an insane asylum. I wonder how much stuff like that works against you.

I normally shave my head every few days too so I currently look almost unrecognisable to myself. Its really bizarre.

*offers comfort teddy*

and...I'm not sure, I've a lot of jobs to do before I go to university and it's freaking me out causing panic attacks and lots of anxiety xxx

It's scary, but I hope your surgery goes as well as mines did - I actually felt fantastic after, was back to my knitting in half an hour!

I'll be getting a general anaesthetic so I'm in for a while after its done, but thankfully it's a day case so I won't be overnight! Glad to hear yours went so well

I've never had a GA before, I don't like needles so ill be asking for the gas I think

Make a list of them and put deadlines next to them then tick them off - if you haven't already I feel the same, I woke up last night and panicked cause I haven't registered for uni yet!

Tbh they'll probably put a cannula in your arm or foot because then they can administer pain medication and stuff as well. It's not as bad as it seems. I had an emergency operation and they literally just had to shove it in, no messing about, and I didn't even notice. It can be really scary when it's something you've never experienced before but honestly, the whole thing was fine. I don't mind needles, but I ended up having to have two cannulas in each of my feet cos my arms/hands weren't suitable, but even that was fine! Although I do think the actual anaesthetic was gas now I think about it! It doesn't seem like you're asleep for even five minutes before you wake up!

LAURA!!!!!! *runs over too and hugs* missed you xxx

Oh yeah, I forgot about the cannula - it was really professionally done though, and absolutely not something to worry about.
