The best thing to do when I am in an episode is to go to a safe solitary confinement room, do not leave this room, stay inside room four to six.hours people can talk to me.thru the door, do.not let.anyone enter your room. Try to lay down for a while.and.get thru the episode in this time i may yell, talk to.myself stand up on things stretch and breath, smoke, cry, try not to have and accident where i do not hurt myself by tripping from moving arpund frantically, watch tv, music, read, no sharp objects, be careful not to threaten anyone or you can get pepper sprayed. No baths during this time. No pens, use memo pad computer to log what triggered this.episode talking it out with someone you.trust is.okay limit it to 15 minutes. I can out of it everyday time. Do not forget if someone tries to harm you orfight you during an episode you can.file apolice.report online. They are always here to helpas pur friends.
Blankets help.with feeling of being.comfortable hiding.under them is fun. Wen it became a.suicide.attempt they had.me.remove all clothes and put me in solitary confinement with a.blanket only, checked on.me.every fifteen minutes,
Cool. I learnt how to make a lighter from a battery while locked up in psyche ward:+1: they dont allow lighters or smoking.
Sound a bit like me when im episoding . Have lots of energy and anger. I start talking to myself and move around frantically.
I been in solitary room at psyche ward. They dont strip. But check you have nothing in your pockets to harm yourself. Really sucks though there was no toilet or water. And they didnt check often at all. There was no nurse for hours . You couldnt ask for drink or toilet.
Not very good if your paranoid and distrusting of nurses .
I think I’ll get a lot better if I can get a job too
at least that’s my track record.
Can you switch your drug of choice to healthy meds?
I know my propranolol helps a lot with drinking too much.
If I ever go to jail I want to go to the one where you can smoke.
Mm youre reffering to other thread?
Im not doing any drugs right now except olanzapine. Last time i was off the rails on drugs n alcohol was in 2015 ive been clean a year except for small relapse on new years this year. Im really hopeful to get this job i have applied for and stay on the right track.
