Everything you know is wrong

Today the deputy ward matron told J "That it was never the case" that her room was being held and that her things would not be disturbed (J's OCD can be a big issue for her as described in her care plan). I swear that I had a phone conversation with the same deputy matron last week telling me that J shouldn't worry about these things. Staff who were with Jo throughout the week she was at the LRI said that the room hadn't been given away, but when she returned to the ward at the Bradgate Unit her possessions were in carrier bags in storage and a "more unwell" patient was now in her room. 

Team decisions which go against J always have a "revisionist" spin on reality the day after. 

Is this what psychosis feels like?

She says she is feeling as suicidal as when she was first admitted to the Bradgate Unit, over 5 months ago.
