    NB ....ON TONIGHT

    Horizon: Why Did I Go Mad?
    BBC TWO 21:00 TONIGHT

    In a rare first-hand insight, Horizon follows three people living with voices, hallucinations and paranoia. What causes this kind of phenomena and what is it like to live with them day to day?




    ON TOMORROW:
    The Truth About Stress
    BBC ONE 21:00 THU 4 MAY

    The World Health Organisation has described stress as 'the health epidemic of the 21st century'. In this programme Fiona Phillips wants to understand why we are experiencing increased amounts of stress in our lives and what actions we can take in order to reduce it and the risks associated.

    Is the horizon one repeated, because it was on last night?
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    Can't give you your dad, mellymoo, but I have had a visit today from someone who I hadn't seen for over 25 years. It is mindblowing. What a lovely person. (He has psychosis so this thread has really helped the visit because I could have been scared of the unknown otherwise). Here's to being a family again.

    melly,

    Love to you all.

    He will be well looked after in hospital.

    Please look after yourself as well as you can so that you can be better with your furry family and the whole situation.

    Thanks white wing
    Part of the problem is they aren't taking his mental heath into account
    Last night they moved him from ICU to hdu in the middle of the night, he obviously had a panic attack leading to breathing difficulties so they moved him back and reventilated him.

    Have got a referral to RAID so hopefully following that assessment they should start listening
