My dad has bipolar disorder and he suffers from bouts of psychosis. He phoned me at least 5 times a day if not more sometimes. So I've had to block him as it was getting too much for me. I phone him once a week now. But last night my aunty told me that she had gotten him into a psychiatric hospital last night. He has wanted to get into one since March and wasn't able to as they were too crowded. I phoned him to check on him and he was very upset crying on the phone to me and put me on to his doctor. I was absolutely devestated for him. And now I honestly feel depressed. I've been crying a few times this morning. It just makes me so sad. It bothers me because I can't talk to anyone about it. If that was because he was sick physically or injured it would be ok that's fine people accept it. But no one understands mental illness. It breaks my heart. I just wanted to go somewhere where I was understood xx thanks for reading
