Herd vs lonely
Ok, so what is the difference between A&E observation unit and a proper mental hospital? Mind you those are very likey to be different for different countries or even hospitals. After I got taken to A&E sometimes last week, I got placed into Observation unit (it didn’t actually state observation is due to bad mental…

I’d rather be… in A&E
Anyway… My mobile is being a bit funny after spending the entire week under my fridge and I’m scared to look at my emails. Otherwise I am not too bad, I suppose. I just had 3 course dinner in Sandalwood Court, Swindon and it’s only been a few hours since I realised that Queen Elizabeth…

My recovery story
This is an overdue post, I do apologise. But maybe it will make more sense now, when it looks like I’m actually recovering. So basically, when my psychiatric nurse was leaving, which was around two months ago, she said she’d send a letter to my GP asking them to prescribe my olanzapine. I received the…

The happiness trap, book by Russ Harris
https://mentalhealthathome.org/2022/07/06/book-review-the-happiness-trap/ This is a post by a fellow blogger, Ashley Peterson. I didn’t read the book but the review is really interesting and gives some insights already. What I find particularly interesting is the advice that we shouldn’t be focusing on negative emotions while trying to work out what to do in a difficult situation…

I decided to recover
As I mentioned probably yesterday, the fact that my psychiatrist prescribed only 7 olanzapine tablets, instead of usual 10, made me think that I must be recovering. Quite precisely, I achieved 30 percent recovery. Going further with that thought, I need to have 0 tablets to achieve 100 percent recovery. Which is what I currently…
