Do you have any favorite quotes? They could be sourced from anywhere: books, history, movies, shit you heard a lady say after she did a long line of coke & took a double shot in a single breath. Something off a bumper sticker you saw on the back of a school shooter's car. Idk?

Hahaha well I have a lot of fave quotes from Albert Camus, Sylvia Plath, etc but you can find those in my quotes tag.

I'll give you some personal ones. Hm...lets see what I remember off the top of my head...

"Dogs are like these failed human beings with all these complex emotions and big teeth." -fellow inpatient when I asked him why he was afraid of dogs

I recently saw a "Dead pedophiles dont reoffend" decal on the back of someones truck, so love that.

Well shit thats all I remember from my personal life. People around me have got to start saying more quotable shit.

Are you still inpatient or moving to adults? Hope all goes well for you x

👋 hey! I’m still in a Camus unit but should be starting a discharge plan as I am 18 in August and am desperate to avoid being in an adults unit. Thank you😊💕

Inpatient truths

List of what to expect when going into a hospital unit for a mental illness -having you phone taken off you and having to use either the landline phone for the unit or a 'brick phone' which has no camera or Internet access - set routines of your day. What times your meals are. What your doing in the sessions. - showers which take forever to use. Having to stand around in the cold waving your hand infront of the sensor trying to get it to work. - minutely and hourly checks. Every 10mins, half an hour or hourly observations where the nurse comes around and writes what you're doing in a book. -night time checks, them shining torches through into your room to check your breathing and safe - everything baby proof. In other words no sharpe objects or things you could break to harm yourself with. - ban on knifes when that one patient starts running off with the knifes(which aren't even sharpe) - Bag checks. To make sure you'd not snuck in a blade or pills on your leave. -weekly blood test at the least - weigh ins, and obviously taken everywhere. -disgusting NHS food, like mashed carrot - one-to-ones therapy sessions with you key worker - WES (within eye sight observations) if your being a pain and causing grief such as trying to selfharm or run away. Meaning having a member of staff sitting with you 24/7 and watching you. Even going to the toilet with you. -alarms going off everyday because of patients trying to escape or staff members in need of assistance. - awkward family therapy sessions -only being able to watch TV at certain times in the day. And not being able to watch things over the 12A limit or music channels. -Annoying members of staff which think they are gods -annoying patients that steal your illness - family visits which are boring and pointless which you wish you didn't have to have but your parents insisted they visited you. -losing contact with friends because they forget or ignore the cut your stuck in a fucking hospital. -making friends with the other crazy patients and messing shit up just to stop being bored. These are the realities of an inpatient unit. Not the cute nice facts people only think of but the harsh truths. Trust me you never want to end up in a unit!
