Just like my #weeklyupdates on my main blog, I'm going to start doing weekly recovery updates here on my recovery blog.
The past few weeks have been tough. There's been a lot of sleeping and just staying in bed for the past few days because I just haven't been feeling too positive about anything.
I now have a massive pile of washing to be done and my room to be tidied and cleaned up because it just hasn't been done.
I took a step back from life and just looked after myself. I have been sleeping loads as this helps me cope with the voices and I know it's not a great way to deal with them but it works for now.
I visited my doctor on Friday 12th because a few weeks back I completely crashed and took an overdose of my prescription medication. It was planned, I planned the whole thing. I was going to tell my Nan everything, which I did. Take the overdose and then go to sleep and hopefully not wake up. But I freaked out and told her what I had done so a trip to the hospital in the back of an ambulance was needed.
14hrs later, I was assessed by the mental health team who thought I was okay to go home and sent me home in a taxi.
When I saw the doctor, he was very disappointed in me, for what I had done. I felt like I couldn't justify myself even though I did want to.
He's phoning me because the main reason why I went to see him was to ask if I could go back to driving as my step-dad wasn't too confident with me going behind the wheel after what i'd done so he's gonna let my step-dad know that medically I can go back to driving.
I've had a word with DVLA about it and they said that it's up to the doctor so... that's what I've done.
Hopefully the next update will be me going back behind the wheel which I absolutely love.
