Hi @Angels333 ,
Thanks so much for the tag - so sorry to hear you are grappling with thoughts and urges around SH at the moment. I echo Hams and hope you are finding your current hospital admission helpful and that you are receiving some top support and care there where you are. Myself and the whole community are behind you and here to support you during and after your stay so please reach out as you need!
Here is our article on Functional Neurological Disorder as requested - https://www.sane.org/information-stories/the-sane-blog/mental-illness/functional-neurological-disorder-the-silent-illness
It is important you are able to stay safe, if you're finding it particularly tough to manage the urges around SH at the moment, I'm wondering whether it would be worth getting in touch with SCBS or Lifeline for a chat? Or reaching out to hospital staff if this is an option for you as well.
Much care and here to support you,
Otter

Thanks for your post, I tried lifeline and was misunderstood
The loneliness is awful
I buzzed the nurse but I don't think she's trained in mental health and patience with depression. She just said you're fine and walked off

That is all so very hard @Angels333 but also something you can work towards. Right now though it is just about recovery and doing what you need to do. Take eerything else when it coes. You are a fighter and strong Hon so you can get through this but for now just one day at a time ![]()
