Even though the staff at the unit were really friendly - making a point of personally welcoming Stephen through the doors - I still got a small sense of his apprehension (made worse by his being brought miles off patch). <br /><br />BTW - your mum sounds quite a character!<br /><br />Jacks - I was way, WAY too freaked out for popcorn. (But I probably could've managed a little ice-cream).Spence Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11183848895584919812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27691111.post-76250864961768478932013-05-25T06:56:33.555+00:002013-05-25T06:56:33.555+00:00They could have had the decency to offer you and R...They could have had the decency to offer you and Rae some popcorn Spence.jacksofbuxtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05420847156401984373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27691111.post-87305761428857593452013-05-25T01:17:24.503+00:002013-05-25T01:17:24.503+00:00My mother was a Cat A ward sister when i was young...My mother was a Cat A ward sister when i was younger (in the 90s) in a big old psych hospital (padded rooms - asylum style). She always told me that if some people take drugs they go mad cos it rots their brains. 1 day she caught me & my friends with a rolly that wasnt pure tobacco. Next thing i know i'm sat on the sofa in a day room 1 flew over the cuckoo's nest style with the psychopatic-druggie-murderers. Absolutely terrified me & I never went near the stuff again. It wasnt until I was older and working on a psychiatric unit myself that I realised most of the people were there because of depression related diseases and what a daunting experience it must be for patients being admitted there. Thats why a positive staff attitude is crucial to put people at ease :) Gone are the days of the Asylums!
