    I'm sorry to hear this @IainJammyboy - it sounds like you feel safer if you remain in hospital right now. That sounds really difficult that the hospital team are wanting to send you home. It's good to hear your GP is advocating for you - keep us updated about where you're at.

    Can you call a family member or a friend who could help advocate for you too? <3

    @amy02 thank you. @Gemma so the nurses understand now they just want to help keep me safe which they are happy supporting me with and are going to advocate to my mental health team on my behalf too which Is good. Be spending the rest of today and tonight here but I'm really unsure what's happening tomorrow but I'll be really really surprised if they send me home

    I spoke to one of the nurses on the ward who is extremely insistent on helping me so I told her about the clear suicide plan and intent if I was discharged from hospital and she completely believes me. I had another evaluation with the same mental health nurse - she was a complete fucking joke, I told her about the plan and intent and how I wouldn't be safe, but she was quick to finish the meeting and apparently what was written in my notes was "no sense of distress, no further suicidal thoughts or intent anymore" she just straight up fucking lied. The nice nurse basically said shes not going to send me home in the state I'm in which I appreciate so I'm staying in hospital again for at least another day while I speak to a different mental health worker and doctor - being put in a room that's designed for simply the safety of patients - I mean apparently the equivalent of a psychiatric ward but there is no ward in this hospital lol - she wants the best for me and I really appreciate that

    Hey @Rose113 can I just check in to see if these were self-harm urges you're referring to? How are you doing this afternoon - do you feel safe? <3

    Glad to hear you're feeling like you can keep yourself safe @Rose113. <3

    Is there anything you've found that usually helps you when you're experiencing these self-harm urges? I'm wondering if there's anything you could do to look after yourself today?

    I know I've shared this before, but the organisation Mind has a great article with some tips on coping with urges to SH. There are also apps like Calm Harm and distrACT with tips and techniques on coping with SH - we'd always recommend trying these things out. <3
