To feel sad that this has happened again

[Gardentime76]

My dd 24 has texted me and informed me she’s been detained on a section 136 again. Although I know she’s responsible for herself she’s been let down by the crisis team. She’s currently in a&e. I thought she was with friends.

NBU at all. It sucks. Sorry

Thank you. I don’t really know what to do anymore to be honest.

I'm sorry this has happened.

There is a serious lack of mental health support

It’s exhausting OP. You must be so worried. Hand hold, hope she gets some good care.

I hope she is getting the help she needs.

Unfortunately it’s likely they will just offer her the crisis team who have discharged her despite her still being in crisis

MH services seem to be going from bad to worse. Decades of cuts has stripped them to the bone and it's getting harder and harder for people to get the help they need.

So sorry your DD is going through this OP.

I’m sorry OP I think the lack of mental health services and support in this country is shocking. Ds1’s gf has reached out so many times for support and has received nothing but antidepressants. Ds2 is only getting the therapy he needs because I’m paying privately. It’s a rotten shame.

I’m very sorry to hear this OP. My own father washed his hands off me when I was sectioned once and it’s very hard to forgive. I’m sure you’re doing everything you can to be supportive, but don’t give up and keep trying. It’s such a horrific situation to be in, and around.

Bit harsh love. Have a heart

@FeedMeLotsOfCake unless you have a lot of background information not included here it sounds like you're doing a lot of projecting.

@Gardentime76 so sorry this has happened. Mental health support is absolute shite at the moment. Hope your dd is ok

Sorry this has happened. What is a section 136?

As a parent with a child with mental health issues I can tell you we are bending over backwards to look after and nurture our child to keep them safe, but we are not professionals, this is not our expertise. So we need the mental health team. And I would use mumsnet as an outlet to moan, because moaning at the mental health team isn't fair, moaning to friends isn't always the best, they may have issues or problems of their own, dc might kit want their personal details shared with people who know them, ditto extended family, no point moaning to dh as he is as exhausted about it as I am.

So yes, people can be doing things and stepping up, but the sheer fucking relentless Ness of being on edge can leave you despairing and exhausted and you need an outlet that is safe and usually has a little bit of support.

Typos all over there but that's how fucked off I am!!!!!

Of course I’ve been there for her. I’ve taken time off work to support when I don’t get sick pay. I’ve bent over backwards for her over the years.

I'm so sorry OP, it's a horrible situation for you and your daughter. I truly hope she gets the help she needs, and that you have some real life support as well as any you can get here? Last time my son was sectioned I was referred to rethink as I was really struggling, and it's hard to support someone when you feel so drained and frustrated.

I searched previous posts for any extra information, but you appear to either be new or a name changer. I did notice that you said your DD was offered two options of appointment with the crisis team and declined both.

What help does your DD think she needs?

What help do you think she needs?

What does the mh team think she needs?
