Hi !

Hope the weekend is easy or smooth for my family here @tonys @Oaktree @Appleblossom @Oaktree @tyme 

 

I'm doing well, I discharged from hospital after 25 hours....it wasn't nice there so I left.

 

I met a nice girl and I feel bad I didn't say goodbye or exchange numbers....it usually isn't the best idea but lately I feel open to it. I left pretty quickly, made the decision and then in about an hour, packed up my things, and the nurse helped me carry them out.

 

.in private wards, I am sometimes feeling less safe than public.

 

I wander why that is.

 

I tried to explain it to the nurses, who were mostly from the UK and dint understand the system at all

 

Public they can say terrible things to y with a lot of power but u can also fight back, being kts a government organisation, someone is watching 

 

Private being businesses, there's a culture, I think they can work well though if ur I the right space mentally and open. 

They are just places though where u can't always be vulnerable and u night not fit in or get attention from the staff and they don't really have consequences for that. It's a business not a service. If u don't like it...Ur only choice is to leave. But I guess then u vote with ur feet and all u can do is choose elsewhere.

 

I didn't attend any classes or eat the food I just stayed in my room and made it a huge mess of clothes and objects and didn't really get settled.
