Do you have imaging software like Photoshop or GIMP? Banners help more than just writing out the titles of each section.

My own thing I do is I reserve the entire front page and delete the posts I don't need. That compacts the front page.

Go through the FC forum like Lady LaurelIe suggested, and make a list of things you like and figure out why and how you can adapt that into your own thread.

I'm not gross! You just don't have a taste for the refined!

Hmm, sounds a little harsh for a nurse (unless she was having a bad day or something, I dunno); but even if she was, that's no excuse to take it out on a patient.
I'm glad you had some nice nurses during your stay though as well. :]

As for the knife situation: Something must've have triggered them to take those precautions. In the mental health area, safety is a big priority (Maslow's Hierarchy).
If you decide to continue with a nursing degree, you'll learn about it. :]

That's a good mindset to have. :] One good thing about nursing, you're never stuck ... tired of an area, venture out & learn about another.

Sorry, but your taste is out of this world.

Jayden: Ahh yes, that makes sense ... and what Lucky said, only a few more hours! You can do it! ... then enjoy a nice relaxing weekend? :]

Oooh, what are you writing about?

The stories at the moment are fanfiction for an anime called Log Horizon. I don't usually write fanfic so I'm not sure how good/bad it's going.

& sorry I missed the question before, I was distracted. sweatdrop

Yeah. I bought some scones to feed them. I have leftover crackers and some cheese if they want that. They changed the time to 6:30 so I could have supper first.

I got my words in...then I had to shut down my computer, turn off lights, brush teeth, etc...

Yes you do. I'm not sure. Would it be better to start over? I have to parts I need to just start over for my fanfic...

Back to work now...

yay scones! And they'll probably bring junk food to share or at least for themselves so life's good. It sounds like you're going to have a good night with them.

yeah it takes me about half an hour or more to get ready for bed once I turn off the computer.

I'll need to work on an outline first I think and try to remember all the details as I go. My writer friend said that she's in the past has lost all her work before and had to start over. The second writing often times turns out better than the first. So I kinda hope that works for me too.

Well I know there will be gummy bears... I was told so.
We'll see...I've just been feeling a little... alone lately so we'll see. I keep hearing about them getting together and doing things & I'm not invited. They only pretty much talk to me every second thurs. I thought they were my friends but I'm starting to think I was wrong and I'm just an acquaintance and not important at all. I'll just sit quietly and speak when spoken to.

Yeah... between "goodnight" and bed there's quite a few things to do...it takes time.

Good luck!

Yeah I try to focus on the positive experiences instead. One of the staff - not a nurse, just a psych tech or whatever they're called that was assigned to me my very first hospitalizations, gave me a hug. Well I asked him if I could have a hug. I had just found out they were sending me to the state hospital for longer term care and I was scared. We talked a long time about my PTSD and what to expect there, I was still scared and asked him if it would be alright to have a hug. He agreed but we had to go where the other staff didn't see because there's supposed to be no contact. It made that night a whole lot easier to deal with. He's like my third favorite staff member there. My absolute favorite I'm nearly never assigned to, but in the mornings he takes everyone for an activity that's really lighthearted. His favorite to do is a game where we hit a balloon around the room. When you hit it you have to make an animal noise. He always picks a turkey and he's amazing at it. The second favorite is just cause I'm most familiar with him and know what to expect. The third favorite is just a nice guy who seems to be there to make a difference. I see him at a local coffee shop sometimes when I go in. He goes there on his break and he's pleasant, I've invited him to sit with my friends a couple times but he refuses because he's on break and needs to not have to socialize for a while. I dunno seeing staff outside of that place is kinda nice for me, then when I see them in there they're more human.

I still no matter how many times I see her have never been able to bring myself to like my least favorite person there. She yelled at me when I was really dizzy and couldn't stand, she wasn't my staff and took my arm and basically threw me into my staff and told them to take me and that I ruined her group session. Some girl patients like her a lot, I just don't see why though. She's only nice on her own terms. I always call her "Miss" with her first name because I really don't like her and feel a compulsion that if I keep showing her respect maybe I'll actually develop respect for her. She says she won't retire until she's dead or they force her to. {shudders}

Yeah I understand they have to keep everyone safe, including me. But there's a difference between self-harm and suicidal gestures. I've attempted before in the past, trust me if I wanted to die I wouldn't have even said anything to the staff. It would have been completely different. I told the psychiatrist the next day when he brought it up that a staff member had reported that I threatened to kill myself. I had a very logical reason for why I wanted to hurt myself, it really isn't logical, but at the time I thought it was. I forget the response from the psychiatrist though. I think it was something pacifying though, but not condescending. It just bugs me when people get it wrong in their reports. I used to work at a nursing home in dietary. My job was to report how much people ate and I had gotten in trouble because a CNA thought I was making up numbers since at the end of the week I always sat at the window to add up all the numbers. The charge nurse that talked to me explained how important it is to not make up figures since it's a legal medical document that doctors use to monitor their patients. So, if food intake is that important, how important do you think it is to get a life and death matter right? That's my reasoning anyways. I'm really passive and a bit passive-aggressive. Would be nice if I could make my point to the people that it matters to. Working on it though.

hmm maybe they just don't want to give you a ride and it has nothing to do with being a friend or not. I have friends that do a lot of things without me, I don't get invited to do very much. I just enjoy the times I am invited. Sounds like you're not feeling good today and a bit passive-aggressive. Sometimes you got to be the one to initiate the conversation. If you just sit there saying nothing, even if it's cause you're shy or reserved, people start forming opinions that just don't fit the situation. They might think you don't enjoy their company so are afraid to invite you elsewhere. It's just a thought though, take it with a grain of salt. You know your situation better than I do.

Certainly, if you maintain it. If I find a sick llama stare you lose your llama privileges. Understood?

Positive experiences are much better than the negative ones, of course. ❤︎

I’ll say, your stories are interesting & kinda help to shine some light from a patient’s perspective. :3
