Not Coping

Was that sarcasm? @Birdofparadise8

Yes, very much so. I thought you could tell @tyme.

No I couldn't lol @Birdofparadise8 .

I understand it can be frustrating that you can only leave for 1 hour, but I guess they are saying that there's no point having an admission if people are out all the time.

It does take a little while to get used to it. Also, connection with others helps (if they feel up to it).

It is also a time that means you HAVE to stop what you are doing to focus on recovery.

Oh, okay, sorry, it's a bit hard over chat. It was very sarcastic when I was saying it in my head as I was typing.

I know, but I wouldn't say I like being locked away like a caged animal. I don't know if it's better here or at home. I know I am safe here, but it's annoying having people keep checking on me.

The Pdoc has taken me off my antidepressant and has given me a sleeping med, but I'm not too sure yet what we are doing about the antidepressant and antipsychotic medication part. I might start TMS but as I'm only here for a week and a bit I don't see how that will be beneficial when you're supposed to do it over a month.

What have you been up to @tyme?

Welcome to the world of inpatient 🙂

Just do what you can @Birdofparadise8 . It's not a quick fix.

For me, I think recovery is a lifelong process.

Make the most of it.

Mmm, well I won't be here for that long so I guess I will @tyme.

How are you doing? You haven't answered my question, lol.

Sending lots of love @Birdofparadise8 I hope you can get what you need out of your admission.

Being an inpatient is restrictive which is why I sometimes think a week in a Fijian resort is what I need and the only decision I need to make is what side of the pool to lay my towel.

Try and discuss with your pdoc.

💜💜

I've been okay. @Birdofparadise8 . Sorry, I didn't get to answer your question earlier.

I'm a bit cranky that I've got three kids messing up my house right now. They are doing 'craft'. erghhhh...

Maybe I'm also cranky because I haven't made time to eat today yet!

Anyway, I'm looking at courses to study. I haven't studied in 1.5 years now, and I'm getting a bit 'edgy'? LOL...

Otherwise, things are pretty good.

Have you attended any groups?

Fiji would be so much nicer lol @Eve7.

Oh I hope they clean up @tyme.

Maybe you need some food.

What are you wanting to study?

No between the pdoc, study blood test, seeing my uncle, a peer worker they were finished for the day.
