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.

Your welcome @utopia. I didn't sleep too well last night. Even though I am not very motivated, I am going to go to the gym for a little bit. Am glad to hear hospital is a safe place for you, and that you are seeing changes within yourself, and keep doing what you are doing. All that sounds wonderful, I take my hat off to you. I better start to move because I have few things to do after the gym. Look forward to seeing how your day was.

Hi @utopia
So glad to read that you are leaving hopsital next wee 🙂
And that you have things in place and have a permanent psych to help you. Getting the right support is very important especially when out of hospital. Wishing you all the best for when you leave hospital.

Hi @utopia
I have been a bit off colour with a virus of some kind and so I have not been in touch for a few days so I have a bit of catching up to do
I believe you are going home next week and you have after-care set up for you - this is a good thing and I really hope everything works out for you
Is it okay for me to ask how long it is since you have been sober now - I promised to get you a bigger medal when the time felt right - whatever the length of time is I know it is hard for you - some I don't really know anything about but still - I wish you all the best Utopia
And here's another cocky - maybe the game is all over now but I missed you and the acrobatic cockies
