So glad you are here again @outlander and thankyou for being brave enough to share details of your time away. It's wonderful that you can now look on your 5 days as an overall positive in your life. Hoping the changes continue to progress for you. Hugs ❤️

Hi @outlander
Oh boy - your mother's bf had to argue with your GP - what a bully that guy is - and while the whole thing was horrible and boring it was good that you were taken to hospital and monitored and medicated for a few days to get yourself back on track
And - a huge AND - while you have been away they realise how much you do around your place and are going to give you some privacy and time to yourself and someone else can care for your little sisters. That is fantastic
It's up to you now to insist on this and I really hope you get the support they promised - also I am glad they realised you need support - you are not just an inconvenient slave around the place
You are worth so much more than the way they have been treating you Outlander - and you have been missed
Lots of virtual hugs - and I am glad you are back - but take the time you need for yourself - you are a worthwhile person - just because it has been hard for you to see doesn't make it untrue
You are loved here - and hospitals are boring

I'm really pleased to hear that hospital was a positive experience for you @outlander. It sounds like the most positive part is that your family have now "heard" how much you have been struggling. I really hope they continue to be supportive and that this is the beginning of a brand new and much brighter chapter in your life.

Hi @outlander I hope now you get stronger and have a lot more peace in your life
My mum just arrived a few hours ago to stay for a week so I'm not sure when I'll be able to spend time on the forums. I'm looking forward to a good chat with you when the time is right. Take good care my friend 🙂

Im very glad it went the better way as well too @Former-Member
I was in the better ward and the more short stay patients so im happy about that.
Haha I hear ya about sitting down for so long! I could get up though I wasnt trapped in bed. They had a dining place and tv area too.
@eth im glad to be back! I was comfortable enough to share with you guys with what I wa allowed that wouldnt totally give away anything. Yes it was a psitive outlook I just dont want to end up back there again would be great. Oh yes id be up for a good chat when you arent too busy too. Ive missed everyone on here.
@Former-Member your love I could certainly feel even away from here
@Owlunaroh yes firday was so very distressing. I didnt expect to go smoothly as soon as she said 'your going to hospital” but I guess I cant change that now hey. It is what it is and continue the journey onwards from here. I just hope that it doesnt change yet. The last time they had a scare I was going to hospital was a few weeks ago and it lasted only 2 days before it went back to normal.
Ive missed you heaps too.
@Phoenix_Rising its a relief to finally know they dont think im just an attention seeker. Thats all they kept telling me everytime we spoke. Even while I was in hospital for the first 2 days before things started to change.
@Former-Memberthank you for taking care of things for me on friday as well. It was just that little bit of extra peace that I needed as well before I lost all forms of communication so thank you for that. Yes its abit more peaceful at home too now. Its not as tense either as before.
