I wonder if I am on too much medications. I sit down to write in a journal and I have no idea what to write. Even now it is tough. I normally can come up with something. There is so much in me that needs to come out. Like my irritating roommate in my inpatient treatment center. She drank my water last night then asked if I wanted back!! I feel violated! Needless to say I didn't drink from it again. I got a new cup. But then my towel for my feet disappeared. I don't know if it was her or the janitor.

It makes me feel not quite safe. Maybe I should bring it up to a lead and ask what to do next. Do I drop it or say something.

Oh and she was up to like 4am and left the door open. I like to sleep with the door closed. I got up like 2 times and saw her bed empty. Then when I got up she was asleep. And slept until after noon.

I don't have any options to trade rooms so I'm stuck. I don't want to make an enemy. She is going through a lot and crying a bit. I know it's hard here but have some common courtesy!!

Anyway, I on the other hand don't want to say too much. I want out of here to keep my job.

But here's what is up. No voices today, still down but it's more an up and day throughout the day. Like some situations help. And others don't. Like the last 24 hours. I need to get sleep and may take a melatonin to help me get sleep. I need it!

Possible trigger:


Any thoughts??

I am so sorry you are dealing with all that. You can try to ask to switch rooms. The worst they can say is no. You can also explain why you do not feel safe.

You can request to speak with your doc about adjusting your meds so you do not feel dull or sui. You can also tell the doc why you feel unsafe. The doc may override the charge nurse and prescribe a room change. Also, you can tell your doc that you do not want to lose your job, and maybe see if they can do an outpatient observation, which will allow you to be discharged but still under their care.

Please no sui. We would miss you. There are some coping skills that can help like telling yourself this is only temporary, that you can focus on relaxing while you are under their care. You can use your assertiveness to ask for what you need. You can find something in the hospital that is a safe object or an activity like occupational therapy that you enjoy, even while feeling dulled. It is hard because bipolar or paychosis is different than what I have with the PTSD, so the coping skills might be different. I do not know, but I am trying. Please be safe and keep us posted.

I talked with the one that did the intake. She suggested to talk to the roommate. I did and I feel a bit better about the situation. She also suggested staying for a week. I'll talk to the pdoc and get his opinion, before calling HR.

I'm scared to call HR!! But I know I'll be backed up by the treatment team if need be. But I still don't want to call.

I am really thinking of taking a term off. It may be in my best interest.
