Hey @Birdofparadise8
Sounds like you're going through a tough time right now, I want you to know that you're not alone.
Keep your head up and remember that brighter days are ahead.
You mentioned yesterday you went to Kmart and brought paint to do some artwork, how did you go? did you get to create any masterpieces?
I look forward to speaking soon (and seeing your fantastic artwork),
Much love from MelbCoffeeSnob

Yep, I'm not feeling good today. I'm really struggling. It's getting closer and closer to Friday. I'm petrified. I'm so sad and alone.
I did get some stuff for painting, but it's not worth showing it's not very good. Maybe my next one if that is better.
What are you up to?

Is there something about Friday or the weekend that is worrying you?
I'm all ears and here to help, so please feel free to share more about your situation, and I'll do my best to provide assistance.
Please share your art work when you feel ready to, I am looking forward to seeing it.

I'm currently in a psych hospital. I'm not sure if you knew that or not. Sorry, I probably should have said that.
I'm just scared about going home. I don't want to have a bad day @Melbcoffeesnob

@Birdofparadise8 are you getting support from the hospital staff?
They could be able to equip you with tools and strategies for when you go home.

I told them how I feel and they didn't say much @Blackbird11

That's no good @Birdofparadise8
Do you have a good safety plan yet?

I told my Pdoc on Monday, and she said the risk would always be there.
I do have one, but how much it will help, I don't know @Blackbird11.
