People with nothing to hide, hide nothing.

This blog is a bit unusual for me because I rarely talk about the times I have been hospitalised for my mental health issues.

Something interesting and unusual happened the last time I was in hospital.  Quite literally in hospital with me as patients were my ex husband and an ex boyfriend of many years ago.   What was funny though was they were both in hospital under assumed names, not their real names that I know them by. They both seemed shocked to see me and I think that speaks volumes about them and very little about me. For awhile I have been contemplating the fact they were in hospital as the same time as me, particularly because I don’t believe in coincidences. I think it was a God thing that I was in hospital with them at the same time and it is something that I’ve come to realise that those people with nothing to hide, hide nothing.   I am not ashamed of the fact that I have mental health issues and talk about my issues regularly. The fact that both of these men were using  an alias whilst they were in hospital says a lot more about them than it does about me. They must be hiding some things about themselves they didn’t want people to know and both were really uncomfortable with my presence in the ward,  but honestly I couldn’t care less what they think . I had nothing to hide or be ashamed of,  so I focus on getting well in hospital and ignoring most of what goes on with the other patients.  I am there to get well, not be entertained by others.
