I went into hospital thinking I would have liver surgery, I had sleep deprivation, constipation and hemorrhoids, a bleeding liver for several days. They sent me to the mental ward. I was seeing things and hearing things not there temporarily and is common with sleep deprivation. They gave me medication without my knowledge I thought it would help then they gave me an injection which gave me a back blood clot for a while and some blurry vision but worst of all it gave me akathisia causing more sleep deprivation after I had it solved, still don't know about my liver but the blood stopped for now. When I went home finally my akathisia made me call 000 and for a bad back. After a gruelling trip they gave me medication then sent me back to the ward. I complained I couldn't sleep but they angrily told me to go back to bed right next to a troublemaker. In the ward the psychotic are tougher, they bully the quiet and even the traumatised there's no segregation. The Psychiatrist this time told he would give anti anxiety medication to help with my akathisia, when I went home and checked there was none. Another Doctor also said I had more white blood cells which could mean infection. First I rang up about the medication asking for it the second time about my white blood cell count. Shortly after a nurse from the Ward rings up saying I have to go back or she'll ring the police because I've been ringing up with too many problems. At tribunal they gave me the option to leave for good but with said demands or stay. I left because they always told me I could negotiate with the CTO that I could change the injection or even that I'm not Schizophrenic because I don't actually see things or hear voices. They didn't even look into it and on the 26th they will inject me with medication when my Akathisia hasn't healed fully. The withdrawal and even the injection itself has given me so many problems. I'm mostly house bound and bedridden at a time I was just fixing my agoraphobia and my life with actually ocd was getting good and with my family too now it's all reversed.

Hi Apersonalan,
Sounds like you've been through alot and are struggling alot with the medical system at the moment over some disputes and disagreements. This can be frustrating. It is the 29th now, were you able to get out of the CTO or did you receive said medication? How are you feeling at the moment? Akathisia can be irritating and I hope the medication is helping.
