"My self Admission to Bassettlaw Hospital"

About: Bassetlaw Hospital Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust

(as the patient),

I was finding it difficult at home with drink and smoking cannabis, over the last few months leading up to my self admission I felt like a different person.

I had been drink and smoking cannabis each day for the last year and a half, but I felt that in the last few months leading up, to coming to Bassetlaw hospital, I felt like I was being drugged, I made accusations that people at work and my partner was poisoning me.

Since I have been at hospital it has given me time to reflect and re evaluate my life and my work practice, now I have had my blood results back and my sti results back I feel that I can return home to help my partner and support her to beat her addiction to smoking cannabis.

I feel that the time in hospital has helped me look at my life and become a better person. I have neglected my friends and family, I on discharge I will take better care of myself and my girlfriend to be a better person.

I don't think I am a bad person but I let my life slip away from me because of the cannabis consumption I was smoking. I became selfish and ignored my responsibilities at work.
