Hey guys

[Kats88]

Hey everyone, I hope you're all doing as well as can be expected.

A little update from me, I'm no longer psychotic, I spent 11 weeks on an acute ward then a week in intensive care, now I'm back on the acute ward and hoping to be discharged by Christmas.

I've tried so hard to kill myself whilst I've been here, I came so close once but they managed to get me to hospital in time. I haven't seen my kids for 7 weeks and it's breaking my heart. All I want is a cuddle from my big boy.

I celebrated my birthday in here and didn't get any cards or anything, so it didn't feel like my birthday at all which crushed me a bit.

My ex has blocked all contact with me and has taken everything so I'm not sure what I'm going home to. I've got no where to go on Christmas Day so it's going to be a very lonely Christmas for me 😔

Love to you all, I hope those of you in hospital are finding it better than I am, I've complained to the CQC about my treatment. Hope to hear from you all soon,

Kat xxx

Hi kats88

It is good to hear your update. It’s good to hear you’re no longer suffering with the psychosis but I’m sad to hear things are still so difficult.

I really hope you can get the support you need, and that you can talk and get support from the hospital staff. Are there any friends and family you can reach out to?

You can and will get better, and rebuild your life... thinking of you

Hi Kat

It's good to hear from you and know you're safe and no longer psychotic, but I'm really sorry things have been so bad and that you continue to have such a hard time.

I'm sorry you spent your birthday in hospital, a happy belated birthday from me.

You will get through this. Focus on getting yourself better and as Ellie says, you can then start rebuilding your life.

Wishing you well, take good care.

One thing I learnt is that although it was hard kids are waiting fir you and life is long things change quicker than you think. Now is your time to get better so that is your current focus. For yourself but also for your kids.

Ive been through similar times. It will be ok. Your kids need you do not doubt that.

Hi Kat . You've been through hell and have survived thank God . I'm so pleased to read you are no longer psychotic and able to write such a clear account of what you've been through . Of course there will be a period of rehabilitation and with help I'm sure things will continue to improve and you will be able to rebuild family relationships . It might take time Kat but it's worth it ! .if I Knew your address I'd send you a belated birthday card 🎂💐 but here's some flowers and a cake ! Keep well and take each day at a time . Denise
