Mixed feelings-might be getting another diagnosis (ED)

I made barriers too @creative_writer. I had every excuse under the sun. It got to the point that I either chose to go or they would put me in public involuntarily. I chose the voluntary option!

I remember reading an news article and it was saying how emergency and inpatient services are not equipped for ND - it can be so overwhelming for them @creative_writer @Captain24

I wonder how this will change in the future?

It was overwhelming, very overwhelming but I needed to and wanted to get well. You have your own room so you can go and hide in there. With the nurses just checking in every 2 hours, they just popped their head in the door and asked if I was ok, just a simple yes and then they left. It’s very overstimulating but I guess it’s what you make of it. I wanted to get the most out of it after putting so much pressure fighting it for so long.

@tyme @creative_writer

Totally agree @Captain24 @creative_writer . The lights, the noise, the activities... a lot is over bearing.

But yes, having your own room is good @Captain24 @creative_writer

@Captain@tyme having your own room would help with the overwhelming feeling. It would give me a place to recharge my social battery. They might be able to accommodate by dimming lights. I remember shadowing a clinician on placement, they had to dim lights for one of the clients.

I admire the staff for being able to support distressed clients, I don’t think I could ever do what they do.

100%. I think that's the beauty of learning more about yourself, you start to realise what matters, what aligns, and what you truly need to feel fulfilled. I know you can have all of this. @creative_writer 💛

I hear you - I think putting hope into this medication working makes so much sense - of course you want it to work! It sounds like you're also wanting to manage expectations, is that right?

How was your walk? 🫶
