That’s just it really. I really need a cuddle but that’s not possible so can anybody just support me right now? My mental health is on the floor right now I’ve never felt as low it’s making me feel so ill

Or it's a good plan to go to A&E and get your fainting checked. At least it's warm and dry and there should be security.

Imbluedalale · 29/10/2024 17:29

It’s ok ChoccieCornflake,
Please don’t worry about me, you’ve all been amazing and helped me so much. I can’t go to a&e I’ve got a fear of hospitals having been there 8 times this year. I can’t believe they think it’s ok to put me in a hostel full of men . Thank you for all our help . Goodbye xx

I don’t know Doncaster, is there a decent travelodge or something you can get into for one night?

RaspberryBeretxx · 29/10/2024 17:31

Or I know things were hard with your mum but could you just call her?

TealPoet · 29/10/2024 17:32

Could you check in to that hotel if someone stayed on the phone with you? McDonald’s? Tesco?

ChoccieCornflake · 29/10/2024 17:35

I really really hope I am worrying needless here, but you saying "goodbye" has freaked me out. Don't you go and do something daft - you are special and precious, and your kids need you. And we would all be heartbroken too.

If you change your mind regarding the hospital (and I understand if you can't): info on the bus routes to the hospital are here:

Oh no no no not goodbye! We aren’t going anywhere and you need to stay with us!

I feel the same @Imbluedalale . You are really special and kind person and you have to get that spoon into your home. Sending love ❤️

Munchyseeds2 · 29/10/2024 17:45

OK so I get that you don't want to go to the hotel and I understand why, it would be best to check in/ out tho
Now you have to get somewhere safe, A &E would be the best bet while you make some calls to the out of hours numbers?
Please let us know you are ok laura xx

ChoccieCornflake · 29/10/2024 17:49

Laura, I hope you don't think I'm stalking you but there was enough information in your posts for me to find a phone number for Rethink and call them. They too are desperately worried about you and have the police looking for you (trust me, if I was near Doncaster I'd be out there too). HOLD ON MY FRIEND, this is not the end.

TealPoet · 29/10/2024 17:52

We’re all here for you 😭 big hugs! Thank you ChoccieCornflake I hadn’t thought of that. Hopefully someone can find you and help you Laura. I sent you a PM please let me know if I can help!

Ah, well done @ChoccieCornflake . Please check on if you can @Imbluedalale . We are all so worried. Big hug. Xx

Apolloneuro · 29/10/2024 19:24

Well done @ChoccieCornflake.

@Imbluedalale listen to me. Going and sitting in a&e is better than sitting on a park bench, regardless of your fear of hospitals.

Keep an eye on your phone battery xxx

Have just read this thread for the first time got to the end and just want OP to be found.

RaspberryBeretxx · 29/10/2024 20:05

Still here and checking in and praying you’re ok @Imbluedalale . Sending love xx

TealPoet · 29/10/2024 20:11

Same here - we’re watching out for you praying you’re ok and will come back to us soon ❤️

AdmittowearingCrocs · 29/10/2024 20:15

Really worried about you @Imbluedalale. I would suggest this situation constitutes a safeguarding matter as you have care and support needs and are a vulnerable adult. If I knew your personal details I would contact the local authority adult social services to make a safeguarding referral. But you could do this online yourself. Have you contacted your social worker to let them know the situation? Hopefully they can intervene on your behalf.
Keep in touch with is here so we know you are safe 💐

PeggyMitchellsCameo · 29/10/2024 20:20
