Sectioned in Hospital - Day 40

Written by Fox.

DAY 40 - 16th September, Monday

All the days are just rolling into one. Keri hasn't stopped hallucinating all day and she's getting quite freaked out. She went to the supermarket with the intention of running off but found out that Jay was taking her. He left her for a few minutes to go down another aisle and Keri dissociated. I don't know who came out but it wasn't for long and I have no idea what they did. All I remember is Keri realising what happened, running back to where she thought her basket was, grabbing it and then shooting off to the chocolate aisle. Luckily enough it was only seconds before there was the sound of frantic jangling keys as Jay found her. She got safely back at the hospital anyway.

Keri's idea was to start a starvation diet today. Clarissa had other ideas and decided to fill Keri's basket with chocolate and sugar. So Keri spent the evening puking in the toilet. Not so fun as I've had to look after poor Jimmy and his sore throat.

Keri filled out the screening tools from the Pottergate Centre that Remy Aquarone sent, who's actually in telephone contact with Keri's psychotherapist. Keri wants to print off a copy once the answers have been assessed and give it to her psychiatrist. Even though it's plainly obvious Keri has DID and everyone knows this, Keri still bugs her psychiatrist about it because she's ignorant to dissociative disorders by the sounds of it, to the point many of us want to hit her. Yes, we're getting treatment but Keri wants her psychiatrist on board considering she's going to remain Keri's official psychiatrist when she's not in hospital. There's not much option for Keri to change psychiatrists as her care co-ordinator wants her under the care of a consultant because of the complexity, rather than one of the junior psychiatrists. It's bloody complicated!

Keri's ward round is tomorrow and I can already tell that tensions are high. Well, technically it's today as its 2am and I've only just been able to get round to writing this blog post! If Keri isn't going to be given any unescorted leave she's going to go mental. The problem is, they won't give her any until she's no longer in denial! I think tomorrow will be mainly to discuss changes in medication.

If I don't post tomorrow it means Keri's gone mental...
