Hello @Krishna 

Sorry to hear about your daughter hun 💔

[greenpea]

@Anastasia  Hey Myboy am feeling your pain hunny. Stay strong and be kind to yourself. You too @Krishna  love to you. peaxx

[Anastasia]

Thank you @greenpea 

They will ring me back. Always hard to know if the behaviour isais a result of mi or meds or just being 19. I'm still in bed, will wait for call and then force myself to get up and face the day. I hope things have settled down for you hun. You have a lion's serving of what you have on your plate. I cannot begin to imagine. My older son also has said he'll not be having kids as a result of living with his brother, yes that is sad. In truth lm happy if neither do. We've been through so much and it's still a long road. I don't know that they could cope if history repeats with one of their children.  Sending you a huge hug.❤️

The next generation and the "circle of life" can be nice in theory and in books.  Real life  is not very neat.  Had a better phone conversation today.

@AnastasiaHearing you about not knowing whether things are deliberate or not.  With the heavy duty meds they throw about they ought to cut them some slack.  However putting some effort in, does help.

Take Care, Self Care and Stay Safe

Glad you had a better call today @Appleblossom that is good news.

Sadly last weekend he was lazy, today was legit, mania, no sleep feels like crap but no slack cut due to last weekend. He was a different person yesterday, one I am not looking forward to coming home. My question to them, is it the new meds. How can they send someone home having changed meds potentially that can be disastrous! I'm at my wit's end.

Hi @Shaz51 

Hugs@greenpea 

@Anastasia 

They make dumb decisions all the time.  Not only the patients I mean.  My son was sent home earlier this month. I was reluctant but felt forced to agree. It lasted 14 days before he was back in with an escalation, which is "expensive" all round. For him, family and services.

Sadly I have seen a lot of mistakes leading to suicide, so I am into straight talking. 

They, MH system and protocols, need to up their game, to gain credibility and respect.  Its not just about throwing money at a system and everyone sitting in offices with nice shoes.

@Appleblossom @Shaz51 @Anastasia @Emelia8 @Krishna  and everyone. I totally agree with you Apple. I wish they could live in my shoes for a week and really gather what it is like. It is sould destroying.

I believe my husband mr shaz was sent home too soon 

one specialist wanted hime to stay in another hospital for another 2 weeks 

but the next day he was allowed home 

and then a specialist was going to put hime on a sickness allowance -- but that never happend
