Made me worse, had to lie and discharge myself

Story from nhs.uk

"Made me worse, had to lie and discharge myself"

I like to listen to music, watch films and tv shows, use my computer it helps with my distress and mental health problems. When they allowed me to do it before I was open and happy to stay on the ward but now they have rules and policies that prevent me from doing things I love so I told the doctors I was well when in fact I was suicidal and discharged myself. I wouldn't have discharged myself if they let do those things.
