i am hospitalized in a mental hospital for the last year.
for the first 4 month i was at the locked ward, and for the last 8 month i am at the open ward.
i have at the open ward i met a wonderful person, lets call her m.
she is the most importent person for me in the world.
she has severe depression, schizoaffective disorder, trichotillomania, and she self harm.
she was relesed in the middle of her treatment two month ago becase of medical error, and her condition started to get much worse.
she call me three days ago at 7AM because she cut herself while sleeping. she was all covered in blood. i spoke with her father (she is 14) and convinced him to get her back to the hospital.
she was admited to the locked ward.
now i can't sleep at all and all i can think about i her.
i don't know what to do, i only want her to feel better.

Welcome to Psych Central! I hope your friend will be better soon. Are there not visiting hours when you can see her?

i have seen so many times how love can carry a message between people who are far apart~ continue to think of her, and of her recovery~

I've also had a relative admitted today. I'm not sure what he has but he's been extremely agitated and delusional lately. I hope you get an update on your friend soon.

I hope you'll be fine. Being locked in a psych ward sounds like the scariest thing to me. Watching One flew over the cuckoo's nest was enough to keep me away from therapists.
