While in hospital

While in hospital

Today I wrote to the local hospital to complain about my treatment on the weekend.
When I first arrived in ED I was treated with care and empathy. Due to my physical complaint and my mental illness I was reassured each time a test was being done by the doctor. Then I was transferred to short stay unit. Again I was given great care. But during the night I got worse temp went sky high I was dehydrated snd almost fainted.
The nurse called a dr to come and see me. He was the rudest doctor I have ever had. He was short abrupt and said "oh you only have a cold". Had he checked my notes he would have seen I had to have a ct scan for possible blood clot. And that I had to speak to CAT team. And that the doctor in ED wrote down high heart rate and wheeze in chest. He spoke to me like I was a little kid.

I feel that because of my mental illness I wasn't treated right. I never want this doctor to treat me agsin. And it's the second time I've had him and both times he was terrible. No bedside manner at all. So after thinking about it today I decided to write and put my complain in writing. I don't need to be treated like this.

I'm hoping to hear back from the hospital.

Why am I feeling suicidal? On my own in bed just took sleeping tablet. Hopefully I'll sleep soon. Why do I feel so depressed that it's all changed. I'm not coping anymore and my stupid psych doesn't u derstsnd.

Re: While in hospital

@BlueBay. I think you have a good friend there who is willing to be honest and tell you how she feels. She's one to be cherished.
You may find your emotions go up and down a bit at the moment. That's to be expected.
Are you able to bring your attention back to how you were feeling at the end of your psychologist session? Or another happy moment?
It's hard, but even if you only experienced joy or calm or what ever the good emotion was, for 5 minutes today - try and remember it.
How did your muscles feel? Your face - were you smiling or was your face relaxed? Did your body feel lighter? What did you feel in that 'happy' moment?

@utopia I am not asleep yet. It's hard to think right now. I will try to close my eyes and think of my beach walk today.
I feel so knocked about at the moment.

Re: While in hospital

@BlueBay - thinking about your walk will be a relaxing thought.
If you find you are still struggling - don't forget lifeline is there. They may help you get through the night & help you feel better so you can sleep.
Keep pushing through this moment, this minute. I'd like to make sure you are here tomorrow morning - when we can chat and catch up & my brain is working better.
