I found a woman lying in the cold by a river yesterday. She'd self-harmed and had nasty cuts (and was covered in scars, so presumably does it often). Stating suicidal intent. No option but to take her to A&E. She didn't want to go - she said it would be useless, and they'd either send her on her way or section and drug her (again), with drugs she hates and can't tolerate the side effects of. She was truly desolate, and I can't stop thinking about her. Why are we failing people so badly?
