Title says it all, waiting to see if I will be sectioned.

Tried to kill myself this morning and DH had to 'save' me.

Cut twice this week needing stitches.

Everything is a huge mess.

Hate self.

No I don't think so Sad
I know you don't want to go but you need to rest and be safe.

MrsMinton · 21/02/2015 18:53

I really fancy a mash sandwhich now Blush

PenguinTuxedo · 21/02/2015 18:54

Mmm mash is yummy, please try and eat some.

I agree with everything MrsMinton is saying. Please get your DH to phone again after dinner if no news. I agree too that you need to be somewhere safe, somewhere where they will look after you Flowers

MrsMinton - your wedding sounds fab!

My stitches on my stomach hurt.

I don't want to go to hospital. I want to be left alone. Hopefully there are no beds so I can stay at home.

If you stay at home what support would you get?

Crisis team but they say I am too risky to stay at home.

MrsMinton · 21/02/2015 19:15

Ok.

MrsMinton · 21/02/2015 19:16

They just want the best for you long term. Like your DH and we do too.

Sijeunessesavait · 21/02/2015 19:23

Mrs Minton is right, you know Flowers

That's great.

This waiting is very hard for you. I know it's the weekend but it's a long time.

Lemondrizzletwunt · 21/02/2015 19:47

Well done for having something to eat. Has your DH called them again yet? It really does seem unfair to leave you in limbo for so long.

ourglass · 21/02/2015 19:48

I'm thinking of you.

lemisscared · 21/02/2015 19:49

oh mate! :( no advice just a hand hold. bugger.

Carbonel · 21/02/2015 19:54

Hope you hear something soon. You do need to be somewhere to keep you safe so they can help you get better. I tried a couple of weeks ago but let them keep me in as I felt rubbish. I was never left alone and was not allowed out onto the ward but only for a couple of nights before I was released home with crisis team support.
I wonder if they are waiting to let things calm down to see if you can stay at home with dhs help as they really dislike people in hospital if poss.

DH rang them, they are trying to find a Dr and they have a bad waiting for me on fucking PICU.

MrsMinton · 21/02/2015 20:09

I know it's not what you want. But please stay here with us and talk. Rant and vent if you want.

lemisscared · 21/02/2015 20:21

MrsMinton · 21/02/2015 20:23

Yes. No phones. No laptops. No contact with the outside world really.

OP posts:
MrsMinton · 21/02/2015 20:28

Oh cream. We will all be here though thinking of you and when you are allowed we will be about to talk.

You can rest there. They'll help your head stop whirling.
