That out of jurisdiction thing is weird. She lives in Ontario has an Ontario health card should be able to get help anywhere in the province. Let’s just pray they don’t have room at her normal “in and out the next day” hospital so she can stay where she is and continues to get the compassionate help she needs and deserves for a change!

Unfortunately hospital called Heather is still testing those boundaries. She is very high mania If i don't go and take her out there will be actions on her part to make me regret not taking her.
I have decided to try the pass informed nurse hsb will be coming with me to take her out . Also informed her i will be setting boundaries with Heather if things start going bad i will be taking her back Always something always. The staff seem to understand Heathers mind how it works they are seeing a side that many getting upset with and angry with but they are being understanding I hope they dont give up on her.

Thanks for the update FMN. Understanding is the first and most important step so I guess we can say they made more progress in a short period than with all her previous stays at the other place. It’s hard to find that balance between being a loving protective mom and settling boundaries.
Don’t forget it’s not a cake; there’s no exact right recipe for caring and loving. You just need to follow your heart and never lose hope. I’m still hanging on so you have to hang in there’s also

She lives in Bowmanville so has to go to Oshawa Hospital
She is in Peterborough Hospital by me i took her there last Saturday it was all too overwhelming for me anymore.
i have her here now on a pass she is not changing she is still very high mania and this is day 6 she has been there.
She said Doctor may discharge her Monday omg Nothing seems to be touching the mania.
They have now put her back on seriquol xr at night time as well as immediate release at night and um Lithium night and and morning now split it up. and prn med which i gave her at 430 before leaving hospital Olanzapine 2.5 to 5mg i gave her 5mg The mania is not subsiding.
She has a swollen ankle and she is still running on it she does not even feel pain but at least here she is on soft grass hoping she can just run some of this energy off.

She got an hour pass from hospital did not return at 6pm got a call from hospital looking for her called and called and called drove around city for two hours could not find her.
Nurse finally called me said they talked to her and she was on other side of city east side told me where she was.
I went there a found her she said she was walking to Montreal walking to Montreal.
This was one of the reasons i took her to hospital in first place because she kept having thoughts of walking to these far places and she would just disappear for the day no one could find her.
She would not answer her phone i begged her to call me i told her i was losing control to please call me. i dont know if this is the mania or the schizophrenia the nurse could not tell me either. she said she is getting discharged wed no change in her thoughts but her talking has slowed down
she is so irrational at times she really believed she could walk to montreal. when i found her she just did not want me to be mad at her
i returned her to hospital after looking for her for over 2 hours.
I dont know how to keep her safe not with her mind telling her to up and leave all the time.
She walks and walks for hours all day even on a injured ankle that is swollen it wont heal she just walks and walks to these places she thinks she can reach. No change and i dont know how to keep her safe. Sorry i really am sorry i just get so lost i get so anxious i dont want any harm to com to her and i know it will if i dont find her

Does the hospital test for recreational drug use upon returning to the hospital?
(For a short time, we thought my brother had schizophrenia, but it was apparently his drug use causing/triggering episodes of psychosis -- leading to loitering and getting arrested.)

Good Question
I'm just thankful you found her FMN. Sad they are releasing her though without stabilizing her

Yes they test her she was not drinking or using she was still high mania or it may be her adhd or her schizophrenia i dont know i am not a doctor
i think after last night and seeing the way she behaved today they may keep her longer
she is so so so agitated so angry burst so agitated
i dont know what is wrong she is not using not drinking she is just wound up like a spinning top or better yet a tornado
i am so tired now i really do not want this anymore and i am sure she does not want to be this way something is wrong with her i wish they could find out what is causing the anger the built up agitation i dont know
I wont say what is on my mind i will see therapist tomorrow just wish there was a way to end all this once and for all.

This doctor is trying all he can to get my daughter stable he is at least trying. She will be discharged i believe this monday but in one last attempt to help her with this impulsiveness he is going to try an adhd medication as well. His words wouldn't it be great if it did help her. I hope it does take away agitation and built up energy this weekend will be hard as she wants to go to some cabin with a guy she met off the floor i don't and won't allow it but it will be a fight thanks Gary Q for checking up with me.
They should hire you at the hospital as part of their crisis team.

I guess the social worker is saying how my daughter is leading the discussions in group therapy She has NEVER spoken up before never so i think putting her back on seriqual has helped.
They do not see psychosis in her well that being said she is on psychotic med now and she is feeling safe in hospital surroundings.
He is amazed at her responses her ability to help others. I told her she would be a great peer support worker if and when she becomes stable herself.
I did enjoy working i did on all the units in hospital but i will not ever go back again my need is here with family and i am not and i don't think ever will be strong enough to work again. I have told this team at this hospital they are amazing wow if i got to work with such a team i would be so very proud to work with them. They should be a role model for all hospitals to follow. They use kindness and patience and understanding i never once heard anything cruel said to a pt i never once saw aggression toward a pt. omg what a difference. I am actually not afraid to enter into this place like i was at the other hospital. The patients are treated like HUMAN beings they are listened to and given respect they are given choices . As said i don't think i would be afraid to reach out for help here if and when time comes. I know i would not be judged here.

Yes my daughter is with me on the weekend pass and i am letting her run in the rain the wind it is where she wants to be. I will not use the medication unless i need to i only will give it to her if she gets aggressive. I am glad she is with me omg i wish everyone would see this is where she is safe why can they not see this. i want more then anything to have her here with me always. I am grateful she is with me this weekend she belongs here. the social worker is the first one to actually say what i have seen all along. She is stuck as a 14yr old child she is stuck there and i told him why she was i can't say it but that is when the trauma happened. I don't know how to get her unstuck but i hope and pray somehow he does.
