Going Short Term inpatient

Going to a unit for assessment for 24 hours.

They will then hopefully refer me back to the crisis home treatment team

I was rejected by them as they thought I was too acute and needed to be in hospital

This could end up with me being sectioned, but I will watch my mouth and try not to say anything too bad

Not sure what to expect from this ‘experience’ but I have to give it a try I guess

Fingers crossed I can stay in the community

Do you get to keep your phone when you go inpatient?

Yea. My case worker said they have a garden I can smoke in as well.

I have a four hour window to get there so I’d better start packing the dogs stuff, as he’s staying with my parents

I will.

Just hope I don’t get sectioned, but they’re going to ask me all sorts of questions.

Need to be honest, but I have to convince them not to admit me to the proper ward as I hate those places

Just waiting to be assessed

Should I be honest with them?

I feel if I try to hide things long term it will make things worse

I’d go with your feeling. It’s best to tell things how they are. At least if you feel some good might come of it.

You’re lucky, last time I was inpatient I was stuck on the floor. I was only allowed to leave, for 30 minutes while my parents came to visit, and they only allowed that after about a week of me showing good behaviour.

Good luck with it, hope you find the help you want.

I don’t see the point of this

They want me to stay for 24 hours

If I decide to leave now they might not let me

The walls are bleeding faces

I have music on now but only because the TV is on

Smoked so many cigarettes I feel sick

Keeps chilling, hopefully they will put on the right meds
