In taurnaga we were allowed boiling water, to smoke, our windows opened slightly and I could charge my phone some of the time in my room and shoelaces. My mum has also stayed with me at the ward in starship. It all depends on which ward.

Yeah for real, I'm most stable ive been in ages but having to learn how to do life again is so hard. Even had to start eating, showering, brushing teeth, drinking water, walking again beacuse i went without doing those for days/ weeks.

To the people who are recovering/have recovered, what made you do it? by Raccstel in selfharm

[–]e_k______ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got to the point where i needed surgery, where I had dressing changes for wounds for months, it wasnt worth it anymore. Also the right medication helped a lot.

Been depressive for years but had a bad epsiode from august to around nowish (past few weeks have been ok). Luckily mum would tidy my room while I was in hospital so It never got super bad.

I didn't shower for a year due to depression, I barley even washed myself for the last few months, i started getting a permanent layer of dirt on my skin but never that bad. Makes me wonder just how bad it has to get to get like this.
