Day Three In Hospital.

In a secure lock-up psychiatric facility.
Waiting for a second meeting with staff about being assigned a keyworker from the area I now live in.
Attending in-house groups and these are helping. They always have and I'm grateful for them.
Mental health services are predominantly free in this country, as it's part of the public healthcare system.

I've stuffed up my visit to see my grandson and hopefully my other two grandchildren by drinking.

Relapse research : even intermittent drinking produces inevitably the same negative results, though the NZP were amazing by following a decision to give me a hospital environment.

I need to have a clear idea about a time-frame with a keyworker, otherwise the process drags on.

It's not easy being in hospital and it's not easy being out in the community either. I'm taking each moment of difficulty at a time and enjoying the pleasant parts one at a time as well.

I need to write down my problems as I see them when I get out of here, and take further steps to remedy them as much as I can.

Recovery is not without its difficult times yet I have been blessed and do see that. Continuously.
It's a privilege to be amongst other service users from the community who are in need of care. We have a laugh together and share a common bond of understanding even when unwell.

"It's not the burden so much as the way I carry it."

Will write later.
