sooooo uhmm yeah one of my very best friends is on a 14-day psychiatric hold

they went in and I had assumed it would only be for a few days while they got their medication figured out and got some more specialised care but. somehow they managed to hurt themselves in there

i don't know how but i saw marks on their arm last time i went to visit and all they said was smth about how it was too much effort for too little result

but anyway yeah, 14-day hold as a result of that, moved to a different room on the ward with a roommate, closer observation etcetc

I've been absent lately bc a lot of my spare time has been spent visiting them and then I'm just. too drained out to type most of the time

I'm going to visit again in a few hours but I'm gonna try to do some tags before that because I need distractions

idk i'm just... worried and there's not really that much I can do other than visit when I can and wait and hope the doctors can figure out what's best

they're not allowed to have anything that connects to the internet in there, i think because of a lawsuit in the past where someone had photographed and uploaded stuff about a celebrity being there

so that also means i can't like. text them during the day and check in, it's kind of shitty

i wish they could just go home and sleep in their own bed and have the comforts of communication and internet distractions but like honestly uh. if they went home i wouldn't feel that they were safe at all

it's sort of a choice between "miserable" or "possibly dead" right now so obviously the hospital is the only option, it just. sucks. there's no good solution right now

anyway sorry this is disorganised and stuff, i'm gonna. go distract myself with RP stuff

Thinking you and your friend good thoughts.
