Morning Gail, well done for making it through the night. You're doing so well making calls etc to get the right support. Upping the anti psychotic meds will hopefully give you such a good sleep and rest.

I'm glad you made it through the night. It doesn't sound like it was easy but you did it.
I hope these next few days are the respite you need them to be.

Take it easy Gail Take this time to (as they say) detox from everything, focus and 'come back' to yourself.

Thanks all am back i needed those3 days feel a lot better They have upped my A......... Its made me feel dopey and a bit out of it. Staff on ward were so kind and spent a lot of time talking to me Special thanks go to DR O###### the pdoc who saw me. CMHT are visiting me every other day for a week, the days they dont vist they are calling me on phone. DR O###### did offer me another two weeks but it would have been in another hospital in Sussex and I didt want to go that far. I was very lucky in getting the bed as they have a long waiting list, guess they must have thought I was bad. It was not as bad as I thought the MHA was not mentioned at all which as I told DR O###### I was scared of, however he was very kind about it and told me I wasnt sectionable just in distress that could tip me over the edge into pycosos as I was hearing voices and seeing things
Thanks all
xxxx

just as a afterthought can stress affect BG levels?
CMHT means crisis mental health team
pdoc means psychiatrist

Definitely: stress can and does affect every aspect of our physical functioning!

thanks my levels have been up last few days

thanks my levels have been up last few days

I don't know though if stress always raises BG levels - perhaps a change of diet and/or change of routine could also have been contributing.

Good to hear that you are feeling better @gail2 and your meeting has positive outcomes for you.

Had my first visit from CMHT today had a call yesterday. M### and J###, both very nice. They were with me for about an hour which surprised me as I thought it would be a case of are you ok and then we can go. Talked about lots of things. They told me to ring them at any time if I needed to and if I felt bad especially . They also reminded me of my crisis plan with its 3 day informal admittance saying that a bed was not always available but if needed they would try their best to find me one but it may be out of the area.
