@Sans911 Sans911 are you in the psych section (can I ask ... if too personal just say so I wont be offended). Sorry to hear you have migraines they are awful ... only had one in my life and it was terrible.

Re: I dont know how much longer i can go on like this
Ahh yes low dose stuff @Sans911
Can they give u stuff for migraines? I had a script for migraines where i took one then 2 hrs later took another one for the best effects and it lasted the entire day. Worked well. I wonder if they can give you something like that?
Im a fast reader too depending on the mood and book. If im in the mood ill read forever if not i struggle to read a paragraph and then forget what i read at the end of it.
Are you back home tomorrow?

@Sans911 I hope you are doing okay. I remember when I went to hospital I read heaps of books and walked alot lol. Good that you are allowed computers. We weren't allowed any. It was so boring I could have died due to the boredom alone. It was the boredom that got me. I am happy that you are coming out tomorrow.

Re: I dont know how much longer i can go on like this
@Bunniekins - I spent a weekend on another pysch unit as an involuntary patient where phones weren't allowed. It was torture as they wouldn't even let me make calls or check messages from the nurses station. I managed to talk my way out after 2days. I wasn't even allowed a toothbrush & toothpaste. Had to ask at nurses station like a 3year old!

@Sans911 sounds like mine no phones although we were allowed brushes and toothpaste ... all we could do was colour in like 3 year olds and read and watch tv. Never again for this lil black duck!!!!!

Re: I dont know how much longer i can go on like this
@Sans911 Although while I was there some of the more seasoned clients spoke of a psych ward where no one wants to go in S*@%y. Where it is heavy duty for really ... how can I put this ... difficult clients ... scared the hell out of me ... I thought at the time ... I will be a good girl or I will go down in flames.

Glad to see you here now @outlander - it seems you have been working hard and even if you are a bit like a zombie walking around your house I am really glad you are still breathing
Take it easy for now - and it has been really hot where ever you are
Hi @Sans911
Hospital - no tooth brush or tooth paste - stuff we don't think about until we haven't got them - I was in a general hospital without them once - yuk - I hope the nurses were able to give or lend you something -
I hope they treat you well and yes I know that public patients can be a sad and varied lot - I am sorry about your getting a migraine though - not a good time but if you have been having a lot of stress then I imagine that could be the cause - I get them sometimes - I had one last week actually and mixed my appointments up - luckily I was able to reschedule but it musta been a rotten headache for me to not check my diary
I hope you are feeling better and get out as soon as you are ready - your weekend sounds pretty ordinary though
All the best
Dec

Re: I dont know how much longer i can go on like this
@Bunniekins - that's a forensic unit, for social psychopaths and the like. I was supposed to do a clinical placement as a nursing student 20years ago in a locked ward similar to where & what you are describing. The ward weren't informed I was arriving. They weren't impressed and basically left me alone, no mh skills, no keys to get back onto nurses station, just told to go go talk to patients. I left after 3 terrifying days. I had to repeat my placement in my own time elsewhere, but it was a much better experience.
I'm fairly high functioning as a mh patient. So I don't fit very well into mh units. So I understand what you are saying. I can behave quite well when I need to get out.

Re: I dont know how much longer i can go on like this
Hi @Owlunar. Good to see you around too. Yes, a very ordinary weekend. Quite dull. But then these are my weekends for the last 6 months or so. I don't cope well with weekends so I go to ground mostly. Or hospitals.
@outlander @Bunniekins battery needs recharge. Might catch u later tonight. Take care all
