Dear Dream team…

You are truly the best I’ve ever met in mental hgealth care. Nightingale Hospital overall is extraordinary. I feel blessed to have got the chance to stay here (thank you insurance company) and get my life saved, look after and nurtured. To be given perspective, a chance to relate, challenged and advised. Tools to meet obstacles. Anxiety to meet stillness. Structure and routine. Comfort and kindness. A hand on my shoulder, a hand, a hug. Humanity. Patients and friends for life.

My stay has come to an end. My journey has not, nor has it come to a beginning – it simply carries on. Maybe I will see you again if I’m feeling wobbly, but knowing you guys exist makes me calm in itself.

Thank you Dream Team and everyone else who’s been there!

Catherine
