That is really frustrating @Snowie

Any word on your pdoc at all or a psychologist at all?
Do you think you could arrange a phone call to your psychologist like a phone appt? Or get the hosp to ring him to see if talking to him would help at all?

I dont know why they are only saying distractions, surely they would know of something else even just talking to you till some of your distressed has eased....

Do you  know what is causing the urges to pop up.more the last few days?

I really hear your frustrations through your words hun @Snowie. Besides the pdoc, is there a pyschologist or consellour there that you might be able to talk to? I think you might need to say to the nurses that you appreciate them trying to help, however, you are struggling to maintain your safety even in hospital. Do you feel able to give to them whatever you have used?

This resource might help

Go to about 2/3 down the page, and there is a leaflet on sh. I have read it, and while it mentions distraction, there are other things as well.

Thanks @Sans911 @outlander will look at that link. Haven't seen psychologist in here at all. Still on waiting list. By the time I see someone it will be time for me to leave.

I dont know @Sans911 about that. 

I am just going to go, I feel like a rotten spoilt children who has been given this chance and ruining it. Thanks for your help

@Snowie  I have read a little. I think a few of us have gone through similar in hospital. I broke a few of the rules in hospital a few times. Please don’t feel shame about it. It happens all the time. 

I know that frustration over distracting. Please know it does get a bit easier over time. 

I really hope you can find someone there to really talk to that doesn’t minimise how you are feeling. Crossing fingers that happens soon 💜🤗

You can't get the help if they are not helping you when you ask for it @Snowie - that is not your fault Hon. I understand that it may be very busy in there but you have done the right thing by asking for help and they need to do what they can to help you. Sitting right next to you my sweet Snowie.

sitting with you sis @Snowie
i second what everyon said, you cant get help unless they are actually going to help you. your doing the right thing by asking though.
do you think youll be able to arrange a phone appt with your psychologist while your in there or perhaps he might be able to come and see you for a session while your in there?

[Sans911]

I am not going to like this post @Snowie. You ARE NOT a rotten spoilt child. You are a person who is in a dark, scary place who is vulnerable, hurting and overwhelmed. Remember how much you are loved by us here in the forum and in your real life.

@Snowie i hope todays a better day for you and that the nurses have some other suggestions for you. Fingers crossed for a pdoc visit too 💖
