I suffer badly with depression, gad, and ocd. I'm currently in hospital for the 4th time this year, I struggle being confined due to a previous domestic violence relationship, I've been keeping myself sane by going for some fresh air every few hours which the dr is aware of and told me was a good thing. Until today I've never had a problem, they put me on a 8hr saline drip, when they put it on I was fine, after 2.5hrs I asked if it could be paused for 5 minutes so I could get some air, they put it on a stand and told me I could only go to the toilet (I've never needed the loo for 4 days), I asked if i could get some air and they said no! I started to panic! I was crying, couldn't breathe, tight chest, etc. My father came in and asked if it could be removed for 5 minutes as I was panicking, they said only if I was chaperoned due to the meds I'm on! Why is it suddenly a problem with the nurses when the dr okayed it and they've been fine with it all the other times? I finally got some air and it took me an hour to calm down and be able to breathe again. I've gotta go back on it and just the thought of them doing this again has me anxious!

I just don't get why it's suddenly a problem when they've been fine with it and they've done it for other patients! The nurses seem to have favourites and just don't wanna do their jobs, they'd rather stand and talk!!
