Hospital

Place is a bit scary though, as when I went to leave (they were understaffed) all doors were locked and could not find anyone to let me out then someone came and let me into reception and I got trapped as front door locked too but eventually someone let me out

Just popped on to say goodnight and thank you for the encouragement.

The tension here is rising for everyone as we've had 3 new admissions since yesterday and the unit is now full with 15 patients. It all feels rather overwhelming. There is another patient coming in on Monday.

From tonight I am allowed to eat downstairs but I am still not with the other patients. I have to sit on a small table with a member of staff - on one to one.

I have to hand over my data card now so don’t know when I’ll be able to get online again. I was told today that it would only be twice a week at most, if at all. I have to ask at ward round on Monday apparently.

I’m panicking about not being able to cope without the internet and contact with people. This is dreadful.

Hi Karen

I'm sure no one thinks you are wasting your chance at recovery. I know it must be so hard for you in there Just remember that sometimes things have to be really tough and difficult in order for things to change and get better so although it feels like hell right now, remember the end result (a happy and healthy you) is worth fighting for. You are tough, brave and very strong and you can do this. We all know this is not easy for you but just do your best, that's all anyone can ask of you - most of all do it for yourself though as you are worth it

You have so many of us wishing you well

I hope you can get back online soon, thinking of you lots

Take care,

I can't understand them taking the data card away, but I guess they must have their reasons.

Take care of yourself Karen - we're all here right behind you!

Karen still has her data card as she sent me a lengthy email this evening so she continues to be able to read all your messages at present.

She was able to keep all the puzzle books and lovely toiletries that have been sent to her.

She is now on full portions and has supervised eating downstairs.
