I was in hospital due to being injured on my mobility scooter in march. I had a water tablet taken from me and with me being diabetic I told the doctor it wasn’t a good idea because I have water retention and I had to have compression dressings on both legs. During the night I had problems breathing. I felt like I was drowning at 3am I phoned 999 for an ambulance and I was admitted again at the beginning of April and I had to stay until the middle of April. During this time I had all my medication taken and I didn’t realise they hadn’t been giving me paroxetine which you’re supposed to be weaned off, but they didn’t give me any for 6 days. I believe this caused me to go into a depression and when I realised I got it back and it got into my system I was fine.
