Feeling alone, confused and frightened
Feeling alone, confused and frightened
I don't know why I was prescribed the tablets I am on as I was very very anxious when I was admitted and didn't look at, let alone talk to anyone and stayed hidden in my bed in theclosed room for the first three weeks I was there. I don't remember anyone talking to me about medication- it was just given to me and the nurse didn't leave my room until I took it. I was too frightened to ask why or what. I'm still too frightened to ask. I don't want to be told I have some other problem. The care coordinator that I once had only ever mentioned "the autism diagnoses" which shocked me then coz I didn't know what it was- i always thought i was just weird and stupid. Since then I went online to read stuff and was surprised to relate to it.
