My Hospital Stay

My Hospital Stay

So I arrived here at midday today.
Feeling a bit lost. Everything is so ... strange.
Not sure what to do now.
Starting to get a bit anxious. A bit teary. Trying hard not to think, or to feel.
Wishing I had a bourbon or some chips or junk food. Something to keep me busy and not feeling.

Hi @utopia - glad to read that you are getting on with things. Big co incidence! I am going to watch my son play football too tomorrow afternoon. I love the sport. Have watched him play a zillion games since he was five. Just have to be a bit subdued now at the sidelines.

How do you feel about your son coming to live with you? Mine lives with his father but I would love for him to live with me. His current address is more convenient for work and he doesn't really have much to do with his father - never has.

Hope both our sons win ⚽️⚽️⚽️

Re: My Hospital Stay

@soul. I'm glad my son may be coming home. But I'll wait to hear it from him. I've had 4 psychhhospital stays since May 5th - so he might want to check me out to make sure I'm ok. I'm nervous too as it means I have to pull my weight at home. Not judt be a proper mother, but cook and clean too. Hope that motivation comes back as my meds start working better.
went to the gp today - was missing a script - so missed one of my meds last night. BP was good. Pulse back at 47. So off I went for my second ECG this week. All showed up fine. Probably anxiety. But we'll keep an eye on it.
I hope your son wins his football game tomorrow.
@Former-Member. Thank you for the good wishes. Amd I love your new avstar picture.
Over the mect few weeks - assuming my mental health gets stronger, I'll slowly get back omto the forum as a member agsin and a CG - trying to help / listen to others again. But I've really needed this time to be selfish and purely focus on me and my needs.
I hope you are all going well. ♥♡

Hi @utopia - just checking in on you to see how you're going. This thread is now 100 pages long. Perhaps you should start another one - not being in hospital anymore.

Hope you enjoy your weekend. Got any plans?

@Sahara. Thank you for caring. I've opened a new thread called HOME - as I hope I don't have to go back to hospital again.

Re: My Hospital Stay

I want to go back to hospital. Been home 1 & 1/2 weeks. Nothings changed. Nothing.
You go from being in hospital surrounded by staff looking after you, activities to go to, and other clients to talk and cry with.
Then you come home to this .... nothingness.
No people. No motivation. No happiness. So you lie on your bed - all day - all night. Sometimes you sleep. Sometimes you don't.
You try tv, reading a book, colouring in. Nothing works. So you self sabotage again. You drink again. Poor pitiful me mode.
Hospital is easy.
Living is hard and painful and slow.
