Just my two cents. When I have been hospitalized, the best thing people could was just be there.

That's what I did tonight. This hospital gives a generous hour - one whole hour - visiting time per day.

We had a good talk, until her roommate butted in.

But as you say, just being there is what she needs. If she doesn't get discharged tomorrow, I'll go back.

Thank you, Permanut.

listen , and tell her you love her.

My Mother had issues, too, and was hospitalized twice so I understand how difficult this is for you.

Also, be sure to care for yourself after your visit. Big ole Texas hug to you 🤗

in your first paragraph.

My mom had severe problems; I was just a kid, but I think she went in three times before she died, aged 33.

Sometimes hospitalization works, and sometimes it doesn't, obviously.

I'm sorry your mom had to experience it.

Thanks for the hug. Back atcha.

Take care of you.💕

Research has shown that there are four things that are best avoided if one has mental health issues, especially anxiety and depression.

NO alcohol,
NO processed foods,
NO refined sugar, and especially...
NO caffeine.

I would suggest taking her caffeine and sugar may not be the wise idea here. But, I am no one so, take that as you will...

I appreciate your advice. I learned at that first visit but it's forbidden to bring in food, drink, cell phone, and a lot of other stuff.

All I can take to her is me. That's enough for her, she says.

Any room with you must be a great room!
