Should call the hospital?

[FlorencePetal]

My exp has been sectioned (I think) presented at a&e as suicidal and admitted last night at about 11pm

Since then they've stuck their head round the door of the MH hospital they've been taken to for checks but not spoken to her at all.

It's almost 12 and she's not been offered any food or drink and is petrified.

She doesn't know what she's supposed to be doing.

She went to reception a few hours ago and was told a nurse would come talk to her.

Aibu to think this is awful.

She's obviously in a vulnerable state and just been left in a room with no explanation food or water :(

That must be really scary for her. Does she have anyone with her who can ask for her? Are you with her?

Sorry just realised you're obviously not with her right now. Does she have no family/friends to stay with her and enquire for her?

No she has no one. I'm here with my kids and it's visiting hours only anyway.

I'm just annoyed that no one has been to talk to her to explain what will happen or explain where she can get food or a cup of tea.

I am a mental health professional and I would say yes definately ring and explains what you have said here. They won’t disclose anything to you unless your ex specifically consents however.

Thanks. I just didn't want to cause any trouble for her.

That's terrible, please say something.

Even on a very basic level, no food or drink for 12 hours?

It won’t cause any trouble I promise.
If she has been detained due to risk of self harm/ suicide she will be under observation so it may be there is an element of confusion or the need for more reassurance from so its good for them to be made aware if she is expressing feelings if distress.
