Re: rough time
I think that’s what I need to do @outlander with meals etc.

Re: rough time
The long process of waiting... I don't think helps me too much- I have a good feeling that they will offer me an admission. I'm deferring my studies this semester- uni will always be there. I have to put my mental health first. And also I've had a really sick pup and my dad has just been diagnosed with dementia..... @Teej

Re: rough time
@Teej having meals already done makes things easier. If i was living on my own its something i would do too. Do you think setting yourself up some small goals in the day would help you too-just the basics anything else i class as a bonus. Almost like 'check in' points...

Re: rough time
Hi @outlander
I have brainstormed my options and I think it is my best option. I'm just worried if they say they want me to continue with my aftercare plan. Its the waiting that causes me to overthink and worry about what is going to happen...

Re: rough time
@oceangirl waiting games are hard. Do you know when you'll hear back from someone to let you know whats happening in regards to an admission?

Re: rough time
@TeejI'm good with breakfast too but so good with the other meals. I have worked out the problem is not having a proper routine. I do know you struggle with this too re routine. I think you could start by having meal plans and also focusing yourself to making healthy meals for yourself. I know its not easier because I struggle with this too.

Re: rough time
I have a medication reminder app on my phone @Teej
It alarms every 5mins until I take my meds or turn it off.
@oceangirl
I'm not so great. Hospital is not an option any more for me. I think they'd probably refuse me anyway. I got to fight this largely alone

Re: rough time
Oh no @oceangirl. It sounds like you have lots of pressures at the moment. I hope your pup gets better. Are you still volunteering?

Re: rough time
@outlanderThe assessment person who takes the assessment takes my notes to the clinical team and they review for possible admission. I have been talking to them for a little while and they suggested for me go to a day program and to see a therapist. But after seeing my Dr it was discussed that I should be put on a waiting list to go into hospital.
Usually they take my notes to previous psychatrist and they review it the other members of the team etc nursing, therapist, program director. My psychiatrist is in on Monday and I think I will hear back either Monday or Tuesday...
