Just to let you know I'll take a little break from the forums. I've had an extremely hard week (yes I know it's only hump day) and I need a mental break. I am safe, but won't come online for a few days.
Take care of yourself @Former-Member. We'll still be here!

@Appleblossom
Hospital will be different this time because I am different. Last time I was overwhelmed and not knowing why I even ended up there. This time it's a choice. I need help now and I'm not letting it get out of hand. Last time I was a frightened little child, this time I have a plan. I remember they ask on the admission form what are your goals for the admission. I had none back then as I did not even know there was a goal. I have goals now. I will come out stronger and get the support I need for my current mental state (mess) and I want to be rid of some meds.
I am determined to channel all this anger and negative energy into something positive for me. F* the past!

So good to hear of your determination to get something positive out of your admission @Former-Member. Fighting words! Let us know how it's gone.

Re: Flower is taking a break
Hi @Former-Member,
Yeah fighting words... don't feel like there's much action happening though. As usual I am way too impatient... I haven't even unpacked my bag 🙂
To be honest I think I have learnt a lot as I am in a different place with very different patients and like I said, I started out with a better frame of mind. But I'm still searching for that magic wand to make it all go away - and when I've finished my temper tantrum I know again that the magic wand doesn't exist, so I'm starting to see my flare ups with a bit of humour - I think that can't be so wrong! A cry and a temper tantrum, a laugh and a joke...

Hi @Former-Member Trust your hospital stay goes well for you. My wife has just arrived home after 2 weeks away and it has made the world of difference for her 😀 Unfortunately no magic wand but a stress free enviornment to focus on you and make some positive gains. All the best.
