I was mistreated at a psychiatric facility in early Nov and then was discharged too early. Now I'm heading backwards fast despite my therapy. Feeling tired but not much sleep. Yeah I'm safe etc. just fed up and mistrustful. It sucks so much 😔

I'm sorry to hear you were mistreated. Have you provided feedback to the service?
What do you think will be helpful for you at this moment?

@tyme Pretty flat still but at least some supports are trying to help. Looking after a young magpie currently so that's a good distraction.

Awwww @ButterflyWings
Reminds me of the book/movie, Penguin Bloom. A paraplegic who, through a magpie, found recovery.
Look after yourself.

They won't forget you. Have you read into how intelligent maggies are??? They are creepily intelligent.
