I just want to go home :(

been a little over 3 weeks in hospital and for those 3 weeks, no one would tell me when I would be released and finally today, I was told that there is no release date in sight.
I hate being suck in here and feeling like time has stopped but going so fast outside. I wish there was some other girls here even though I hate to wish that upon anyone else. I'm just lonely and mopey and still so very bored.

I pray you are healed by the power of the blood of Christ Jesus. 🙏

..update..

It's now been a bit over a month in here and still no release date in site and no one really telling me anything and instead just treating me like a child.
Had a bit of a meltdown yesterday because they wouldn't let me outside. That probably doesn't help with them treating me like a child with giving them reason to do that I suppose but being locked in this place is making me feel way worse. I have been told that 2 girls will be coming in here tomorrow though, so at least maybe I might have 2 people to talk with when my favorite nurse is not here.
Anywho, I hope everyone is feeling well and having a good weekend :)

Can someone bring you a book or something?
Get well soon.🙏
ZashaKitty · 26-30, F
@Matt85 my sister lives a bit away and cant come here often and my parents dont like coming here anymore. That sounds bad but I get it. Hopefully soon i will be allowed to go outside and i can go to a store or something and pick up a few things.
thank you :)

@ZashaKitty Cool. No probs🫂

I know the feeling.

I was in a hospital for nearly two months. It was two weeks longer than needed, because the next place was a rehab home, which my insurance denied, and I had to appeal and wait for two weeks. I could not go home since I was disabled and needed help, physical therapy, and wound care.

When I got to the rehab home, they said I needed a month. Yet after two weeks my insurance company stopped paying so I had to get my parents to come from out of state to help me at home. They stayed a few weeks and then left. By then I could walk again and my wounds were healed.

I was so helpless and bored in the hospital, and so annoyed by all the interruptions. I swear every hour somebody came in to do something (take vitals, give me pills or injections, give me food, take it away, bathe me, exercise me, talk, etc.) The only down time I had was in the middle of the night.

Yet had I been at home, I would have mostly slept, like in the hospital. Yet fewer interruptions. The rehab home was awful. Most staff were foreigners whose English I could barely understand, and most patients were old and miserable, with TV's on all night and loud.

If I ever get to the point in later life where I need to go to a home, just kill me. It is horrible.

Being home was better, but my parents are so annoying. We argued and eventually they got fed up and left. It was nice to have peace and quiet again.

I am still disabled, yet living. I work from home which is nice. I can get out and about: but no more hikes or travel. I take vacations at home now.

@JoyfulSilence I am really sorry to hear that happened with you and you had to stay in longer.
I hope you're doing okay now, and things only keep getting better and better for you.

@ZashaKitty

Slowly. I do not think I will ever be the same, though. Oh well, it is better than being dead.
I feel for you. I've never had a long stay in a hospital, but I've printed the forms for hospitals that are essentially release forms from a hospital to say your mental health is okay, and no one I have showed could answer the questions without feeling they wouldn't be categorized.

My one friend used to own a cat, and as his aunt was a nurse, with his cat had the perfect affectionate and disposition in temperament his cat became a therapy cat. The hospital paid his cat $25 an hour. You don't have such luck do you? 😥
ZashaKitty · 26-30, F
@thewindupbirdchronicles I have never been given a form before when leaving here. They normally just send everything to my doctor, and I am not really told much. What sort of questions are on the forms you print? If you don't mind me asking that is.
I wish I had a cat like that. I have no pets as of now which is kind of a blessing, otherwise I would be worrying about them when in here. A therapy cat would be nice in here though.

I'm so sorry! I hope you get well soon🙏when i was in the hospital i just binge watched youtube,listened to music and played mobile games. You won't be there forever,just focus on yourself and do something that makes you happy💕
ZashaKitty · 26-30, F
@Girlbehindthecurtain thank you :)
that's good you found things that made your stay a bit easier.
I have been in here several times before and normally they would let me go out for an hour a day to go get some supplies and stuff from a nearby store but this time they haven't allowed it, so that has made it a bit more difficult but after almost 4 weeks they have finally allowed me to go out in the courtyard, so I have enjoyed just sitting outside today while I can.

Hope it’s over soon, my wife was in for ten days and really struggled but she’s home now as I hope you will be soon
Willomk1 · 46-50, M
It’s a big thing for her@ZashaKitty
ZashaKitty · 26-30, F
@Willomk1 for everyone I think :)
Willomk1 · 46-50, M
My girl lives to eat@ZashaKitty
I'm sorry you're still there -__- I hope you'll be released soon or at least be given some more freedom
ZashaKitty · 26-30, F
@MrBlueGuy it's been nice to sit outside. I don't really have many friends anymore which is my fault. I don't really like people seeing me in here anyway. My sister is the only one I enjoy seeing in here, but we are super close, and she never accepts me saying no to her coming here anyway lol.
@ZashaKitty That's totally understandable I would feel the same way. And that's awesome you're close with your sister and she visits you 🥺.

I had a friend who was committed to a hopsital for a few weeks after he made some remark to his doctor and it was rough on him. Especially because he was in the psychiatric unit but he was very normal other than the fact he had some issues with depression and he talked about wanting to hurt himself. I would visit him almost every day but it was still taking a toll on him..But at least he had an end date that he was going to be released. I know it must be hard just not knowing when you'll get out but hang in there :)
ZashaKitty · 26-30, F
@MrBlueGuy I hope your friend is okay now. Being in places like this certainly can take its toll on you. Hopefully he was feeling much better when released.
ZashaKitty · 26-30, F
thank you everyone for the messages.
I am going to go and try and get some sleep now. Have a good night or day depending on where you all are at.

@OldMan70 very much so and I wish but they won't even let me have my phone charger in my room. They keep it and when phone needs to charge, I give it back to them.

@OldMan70 yeah, they are normally very strict when you get admitted for self-harm and will just say not in the right frame of mind. Oh god, that could never happen here, I don't think lol.
MrAverage1965 · 61-69, M

Concentrate on healing
ZashaKitty · 26-30, F
@pdockal I don't know if healing is a option I have with what i have but feeling better is and I'm trying very hard to feel better :)
pdockal · 56-60, M
@ZashaKitty

There are many forms of healing
Not getting worse is one

Wish you luck

Lilymoon · F
Why are you in hospital?
ZashaKitty · 26-30, F
@Lilymoon I was having a long psychotic episode and self-harmed and ended in emergency care and as soon as I was treated and well enough to be moved, I was sent to the closest mental facility where they are trying to say I tried to take my own life.
I never tried to do that though but that's what they're saying.
Lilymoon · F
@ZashaKitty Ohhh I'm sorry... hopefully you'll be out soon. Fingers crossed 🤞
ZashaKitty · 26-30, F
@Lilymoon thank you. Hopefully soon :)
NinaTina · 26-30, F
