I’m an inpatient on a psychiatric ward, AMA

As above, ask anything from food to daily routine. I will attempt to answer all questions but I am sorry if I miss your post. Please post it again if this does happen.

Things have slowly gone downhill. I stopped my meds and things have spiralled on from there. Ended up on an intensive care unit for a while which wasn’t nice. I was getting better but it got to the point where I thought I no longer needed to take the tablets. I’m also scared of the long term risks to my physical health.

I’m on section 3.

Thanks for your reply :h:

What does AMA stand for? Are you supposed to be online where you are?

Why do they restrict how much TP you can use? What if you need more?

Normally only if you find it tasty.
Depends on if the supervising staff member is half decent.

Or you get bowel disturbance? Only because they're worried people are going to eat it- that's the only reason?
