I'm posting from a mental health ward, last week the pain in my abdomen was so bad I could hardly stand I felt so desperate. I'm due to have a resection and hernia repair in a few weeks. Anyway I decided that I had enough I swallowed half a bottle of oramorph and somehow ended up in accident and emergency. I don't remember anything after taking the oramorph, but i'm told I was stabbing myself in the abdomen with a pen and trying to bite my stoma.
Since then I had to talk to a psychiatrist who has sectioned me to a mental ward where I am now. I admitted to them that over the past few months I have struggled badly with my stoma and crohns. I seem to lose days where I don't know what's happened. I donated 250 to the crohns society 2 weeks ago and don't remember it. I was told when I arrived at accident and emergency last week I insisted that the taxi driver take my wallet and all my money.
I get so confused sometimes that I don't know where I am and I panic. They have taken my belt and anything else I might harm myself with away. I'm not even supposed to have my phone where I am posting from.
Please tell me i'm not the only one to lose it with stoma/crohns problems.
