Bob was sectioned for 28 days on Wednesday. He is getting worse each day. Crying all the time asking to go home. We cant understand much of what he says, he just rambles all the time, but every so often a tiny bit of lucidity comes through. Today we arrived my daughter and I to visit him, to find him sobbing on a chair being comforted by a fellow patient. Hehad been very aggressive even throwing furniture arround. He knew us, but blames me for being in hospital. He said in a moment of clear speach " i HAVE ALWAYS LOVED YOU, AND DID EVERYTHING FOR YOU, AND NOW YOU HAVE LEFT ME HERE" He accused me of having a boyfriend, and said I am a f----- bad cow. He never swares in front of me. My heart is breaking, he is in such torment and I cant help him. Friends came to see him and he was pleased to see them and knew them, but just repeats over and over that he is terrified and wants to go home.He was at one time punching himself in the head. Will this awful torment pass? I know he was a danger to himself at home, but did I do the right thing sending him to hospital? would he be better at home everyone says no but I am so guilty and so desperate to give him some peace.
