I've been recommended to join this forum from the ReachOut Forums because some of the stuff I'm going through isn't really relevant and they don't know how to help.
I'm 24 and apparently I'm psychotic.
I hate that term because it makes me feel like I'm just making everything up and that it's not real.
So hi, I'd love to see if anyone else has something similar.

Can you work on some art while you're in hospital @redheaded? Or maybe find someone to play cards with?

I hope it happens today for you too @redheaded. Sometimes red cross or other volunteers come around with a cart you can get activities from. Maybe ask one of the nurses if they have this where you are. One time I made a stuffed dolphin for my child and it gave them many years of pleasure.
