At the moment I am finding things quite hard to deal with, this journey has been a long and tough one to do. Being totally honest there are days where I hate this place and would just like to leave but I understand that this is what I need to do to get truly better.
But what I will say is I would like for others to know that if you need to come here just do it as before I didn't want to be brought here but it was the best decision that I have made as the treatment I feel is really helping me and the with the staffs support I feel I am able to open up more about my depression. My family have even said they see a change in me and I feel they are more at ease with me being in here. Although you wont be cured instantly and that it really is hard work trying to get better but I would recommend for them do it as I understand it can be daunting coming here but I don't know what I would have done if I didn't get the treatment.
One thing that has been a down side to being here is that there are certain patients on this ward who I don't get along with and I have told staff about this but its just hard to keep away from people in this small ward as there is not much places to go. But I will try and not let that stop my recovery journey. If I have to gave one improvement it would be to expand the wards as if feel that this is a small ward and at times it can feel confined being in here I just feel we need more of an open area and rooms to be able to have space.
