Well, I haven't been too flash to be honest.

I again nearly committed suicide Monday week ago and landed myself in hospital (again).

This time though I wasn't able to leave so was placed in the level 1 Psych Ward where you can't leave unless with approval - in other words, you are locked up.

The staff were mostly great, the patients were very supportive as equally struggling, but I have to say it was a very distressing experience.

I was there for 4 days and didn't see sunlight but was very well fed, nice room etc so i'm certainly not complaining.

Need to get on top of this as apparently if it happens again i'll go to level 2 and it won't be 4 days, more like 4 months.........i'm no danger to anyone else, but that is the policy of health to save people from themselves.

So i'm all good and back to work asap who are aware and have been very supportive.

So as always stay safe all and yes, keep out of the psych wards if at all possible as it's very long, lonely, sad days.......

Cheers, Merc
So sorry to hear mate. That's is sad news. I had no idea you were there and I wish I was in the same state to even visit.

Please keep in touch mate even by email. If I can help in a small way even by being a listening ear I will.
