Zahlia here, one of the mods on tonight. Reading your post I'm a little worried about you. You've taken some meds but aren't exactly sure what to do. You just feel so hopeless and helpless tonight.
Are you worried about your immediate safety? I would recommend reaching out for some medical advice or a crisis service just with the medication you took...
Unfortunately, the Forums aren’t a counselling or crisis service, however you can call any of the following services now for immediate support:
Lifeline: 13 11 14 or Crisis Chat
Suicide call back service: 1300 659 467 or online counselling
If in immediate danger: 000
I will also send you an email to check in privately
Zahlia 💛

@EternalFlower Really good to hear from you, but saddened that you are experiencing the coercive side of the system. Do what you need to do to get through. I hope there is some companionship from others, but it can also be challenging to have to get along with all sorts of people going through different crises in a live in basis. The hope is that the staff set up a better situation for when you are discharged. Fingers crossed. Maybe there will be a good session run by a good therapist of some kind, and not just the cold clinical feel. I know some workers care.
My situation is relatively stable at the moment, but heavy laden. So I am talking about choppy seas and silver lining in the clouds.
