Hi all
Thanks everyone for the support for quite awhile now since I have been unwell. Every message has given me hope. I will try and stay up to date but of course I probably won't be around as much as I normally am.
Sending lots of love, squishy hugs and hope to all.

Hi to everyone reading this.
Came in for ECT this morning and then got admitted. Was quite a smooth process which was good.
The plan is for 3 weeks in here but that will of course depend on how I am going.
Have the same pdoc in here from last time so at least he knows my history and I don't have to explain everything again.
Going to try and make it to a few groups tomorrow instead of just sitting around in my room all day. Hopefully I can work up the courage to go. One is an art therapy group so I think that might be ok without being too full on.
Sending lots of love out to all and hoping things are going ok 💕💕

YOU MADE IT @Snowie !!!!
What a relief!
I'm sorry you had to wait so so long. I wonder if this is something that you can discuss with them for the future?

Not that I like being in here @tyme but I do recognise that it was something that really was needed.
I think it was a combination of things that made the process drawn out.
I had to get a referral from my pdoc, approval from work cover and then approval tfrom the pdoc that was admitting me. Then the hospital had to check if their were any beds free for my stay. Unfortunately my regular pdoc isn't associated with the hospital so it had to go through quite a few channels.
But at least it is done now.
Hopefully in the next few days I can get approved for some leave, depending on my mental state. I guess that will just depend on how I go.
