Colouring in can be a great way to unwind, de-stress, and to be in the present moment.
I find colouring really helps me, so im creating a space where we can share what we do.
Here what I did tonight:

@The-red-centaur not the emergency department, I'm not sure if my local hospital would do that but i can ask.
The triage refuse to help me even with a referral from my psychiatrist and they said if I go there I'll never be allowed to see my psychiatrist again, even he was shocked. I told him and I'm not sure if he can investigate it, so idk. They were so rude and refuse to help, I don't know why, at the triage

@The-red-centaur oh that may be why, I don't know. But I said to them I don't want a Psychiatrist there, I want to keep my current one.
I was just hoping they could assess me, and do a home program or something, since I looked up what triages do around Australia and thats what it said on all the websites I found, although it depends on the person's needs, staff, etc. They said they'd do that over an admission.
Oh well, I guess it doesn't matter. Thank you though
