Felt very alone and stayed in my room a lot. Staff weren't exactly helpful. But gave me time away to gather my thoughts and at least felt safe there. Some lovely patients who helped me when distressed. Food wasn't too bad, but baby portions. Wish I'd done more of the daily activities, really enjoyed the pottery class. Wasn't happy about being made made to leave at 11 at night and felt very vulnerable. Luckily I had a home to come back to. And now receiving support. But seeing the Dr is like trying to get blood out of a stone. Home treatment are the ones who can try sort it out for when you leave and I wasn't ready to leave so didn't engage with them, which looking back I wish I had!
