I'm not having a good day today. My ED voice and my PTSD is really loud.
I feel tapped atm. I'm so overwhelmed with life and just want to hide but I've been locked out of my room and the nurses here don't trust me but they're making the situation worse.
Really sorry to hear it's a bad day, and that you can't hide in your room. Also that you said you don't have a home to go to...what do you mean? Is your home no longer available after you come out of hospital?

Hi @The-red-centaur
I am in hospital at the moment having ECT for the third time. It is scary but hopefully you have really nice nurses and doctors that will make sure you are ok. You don't remember anything from it because they give you the anesthetic and you have a short nap.
I had my first session on Friday and have another one tomorrow morning. Because of covid I have to stay in hospital and do them.
Am here with you, you don't have to go through this alone.
