And asking for help can be fucking humiliating. Having to ask for help -- with, say, the pain meds it's very clear you take first thing every morning but the nursing staff at psych hospital keep saying 'just a minute' and holy shit but it's two and a half hours of 'just a minute' and then four hours before your next dose and they took your cane away so walking already kind of sucks -- puts your needs at the mercy of someone else's schedule. Policy may well state other than what they do. Policy at hospital said I was supposed to get my fucking meds when I asked for them first thing in the morning but see I have this thing where I do not want to come off looking like someone who is drug-seeking so I don't push. (Also it's hard to push.)

Oh but hey environment | policy design doesn't have to take our needs into consideration. There's always some nice CND person about to help right?
