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
I hope things feel better today - being with the oldies can't be that bad - they are just like me on the outside and also like a bit of fun as well - here's me with the oldies
Maybe oldies in hospital are a harder ask to enjoy but a private room - I am so used to being on my own a private room would be the best -
I really hope this trip into hospital will be better for you and they the people who are helping you can set you up with after-care as well - you sorta need a half-way place where you can get out into the world and yet still have some protection when you need it
Thinking of you Utopia and hope you can get outside for a smoke today

Sounds like it's a case of musical beds there @utopia.
If I could, I'd send you this one -
Walking with the oldies sounds fun. Did any of them beat you?
