It depends on whether or not your guardian is afaid of you when ill. i have a friend who has someone telling her nurse she is ill. Took her kids off her lagally or physically lukilly enough she lives next door. I told her it was her mum who keep saying she is probalby and that she doesn't have to be taken into hopital unless she is a threat to herself or others. It can be a good thing my x used to get taken out every day for hours and allowed to go home for like weekends under section with his family. i had another friend in hospital who use to get treated very well also by his family. They would take him stuff and take him out and generally he was allowed out once with family even when ill. So it depends on how your guardinan is towards you when ill.

Why do you have a guardian? Are you under 18? there should be laws protecting you. Look in mental health office if you have one. There is help and you have rights.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse.

I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
