You think coming in here that a bunch of people will keep the closest eye on you and keep you safe and that's just not how it is. A lot of staff just left me alone to pace clearly struggling for ages, I was left frantically rocking in the corridor one night when things were bad. This just made things worse no-one cared. Day staff helped me during one incident which helped a lot! but initially the care is very hands off and if you're someone who struggles to approach people, that makes things worse. Although I didn't tackle my care issues, I do feel better than I did before I came in, and its not all the staff who make you feel let down, my named nurse was nice as well so it has helped me overall.
