"Given space to recover"

I was sectioned and taken to Michael Carlisle hospital, it is hard to remember the early days as I was very unwell, but I believe I was very disruptive and kept trying to escape. I felt a sense of relief being back on the ward as it was so familiar and felt safe. On the ward you are given space to recover, which is so important. Although I noticed a distinct lack of nursing staff, which hindered my recovery as certain things were unavailable ie. a walk in the grounds, music nights etc. The staff tried their best but shortages really made the nurse managers job difficult. The support and housekeepers are amazing. The food is fab on Stanage.
