firstly i need to appologise to you that have contacted me. i've bee away from thesite because i could have died.
I had emergency surgery for a perforated appendictus. I didnt go to hospital when i should as i thought they'd think i was making it up because of my self-harm. in the end i went with my support worker and they thought it was minor. The A&E dr said that she could take bloods but it would be pointless. the results came back abnormal and i was refeerd to the surgeons. they did the op the next morning. i asked the surgeon what my appendix looked like (weird i know!) and he said it was in peices and one of the worst he'd ever seen.
Then came the implications. Half of my left lung collapsed so i was costantly on oxygen and also nebulisers. i developed Peritonitis. After that i had several infections and had to be take to a higher dependacy ward. After 9 days there i went back to the general surgery ward. From this i then delevoped sepiciemia and needed a blood transfusion.
All my medication was stoped as i had an NG tube down my nose and throat so i didnt get my psychiatric drugs.
After several weeks only on smaller injections of anti-pyschotics i lost it. one morning i pulled at my IV's and drips. i had enough of the same shit day in- day- out. i could barely walk and still with drains in my stomach and a catheter i decided to leave.
To cut a long story short i ended up being detained under section 2 of the mental health act ad now im on a section 3 in a psychiatric hospital. The only reason i can be online is ive found a spot in the communial tv room to use someone elses wifi. I was i the general for 8 1/2 weeks and ive been in this hospital ever since.
I'm getting sick of it.

You've been through a lot, oh my, but warm hugs *hug* I really don't know what to say just really wanted to offer you warm hugs *hug*
Were here for you
I was in hospital myself for quite a while (general then mental) until a few weeks ago, I kind of thought you might be in hospital. I am really glad you made this thread, I was wondering what had happened to you. Are you back on your full dose of APs now? I changed mine recently and find the new ones really good, much better than the old ones I was on.
Ah, i hope you're okay.
I'm back on the APs at a higher dose than before. It's making me drowsy but i'm sure that'll wear off. What ones are you taking now? They've also put me back on my other medication ad i think it's helping...
Abilify (aripiprizol) 15mg now. I was on risperidone. When I was in hospital I was on tonnes of things but I don't remember that much about it, I was off my head for the most part. What are you on now?
I miss Aripiprizol Risperidone made me lactate and was awful. I'm on Quetiapine now, making me put on weight
