Jus' in case you guys were wondering...

Where I've been, well I guess I'll tell you seeing as it is relevant to this board.

After spending a weekend on a psychiatric unit I was referred to a place called Cedar Court in Colwyn Bay. This is a kind of adolescent unit, where people aged 12 to 18 go to get more intensive therapy for their issues. When I told a few friends they were like "Oh my god", but it's not such a big deal.

The first week pissed me off a bit, I wasn't allowed to swear, the only music there was KoRn and Placebo or Blue (ugh). We had to eat full meals and attend a school (Im not too good at keeping my cool in the classroom)and we had a set bedtime at half ten!

Anyway, I'm gonna be there for a while now, I'm making new friends and feeling better already, but missing my old lifestyle of smoking pot & drinking & bumming around. I guess that's a good thing, coming clean, but I'm also missing my mates. I got at lest 8 weeks <IMG alt="image" alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/eek.gif"&gt; until my next review and with that DBT, anxiety management, anti-bulling groups and individual anger management...man!

Back on weekends,
Take care,

    Hi. I think its great that you are on the right track, even if you don't quite see it that way yet. It's good that you know where you stand and can start getting better. And its cool that you are home at weekends as well <IMG alt="image" alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif"&gt;

    But you have been missed, both on here and on MSN / Yahoo.

    Anyway, keep in touch and take care, even if it takes me a while to text you back (sorry!! <IMG alt="image" alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/frown.gif">)
