Sounds good @Bunniekins i hope you enjoy


@Snowie 💜 can u read some magazines or something? They wont let you out to groups until youve settled abit more first. I drew 2 art books full of drawings and patterns because of bordem. I wasnt allowed phones where i was either.
Pity your not allowed to do your patchwork!

Re: rough time

@Snowie we only had colouring and tv that was it even in the main area with a few group meetings ... at the private one up here there is a gym and classes apparently it is so much better ... private really pays for itself in mental health.

Re: rough time

Hi @Snowie,

I'm sorry to hear you are struggling with boredom. That has always been my issue when I've been locked up in a psych ward. I have no idea how anyone can think giving people nothing to do is conducive to good mental health! I'm surprised it's like that in the private hospital.

Are you into jigsaw puzzles and do they have any there? It was always a huge relief to me when I found a jigsaw puzzle on the ward.

I'm super glad you have your phone.
