Don’t want to go to hospital at Christmas.

[Mindgoinground12]

Name changed, don’t know why. I just don’t know what to do. A couple days go I SH, (no DC at home at this point) someone found out and I left the house got found by the police and sectioned under a 136 got taken to A&e in handcuffs and had an awful few hours -not the biggest fan of police or hospital. After seeing DC this morning I just felt so low and made SH wound bigger. I really struggle around Christmas and New Years. I just don’t know what to do know. I don’t want to be seen as that drain on resoursss of hospital or police. I don’t want a repeat of a couple days ago either. But what support is there at Christmas! Sorry I just needed to rant. What are you lot gonna day anyway.

Sorry you're feeling this way, would it help to talk here? You aren't a drain on resources, you're a person that might benefit from help - just like someone who'd broken their leg for example (just more complicated!)

You're not a drain on resources - you are exactly who I pay my taxes to support! I would go to hospital and see what help they can offer. Take a book because it will be busy, and maybe mince pies for the staff. You deserve care and support

Sorry to hear how you’re feeling, particularly at Xmas. You’re not a drain on resources, your ill and that’s what the services are for.
How are you feeling now? Is someone with you or anyone you can call? If you need to call an HP please do so.
As for what we’ve been doing today, well nothing really. Just all indoors watching television.

Oh sweetheart, just like to PP said, if this was a broken leg, you'd go to hospital right? It sounds as though you're having a rough time of it and need more help. Can you find a way to get some help today or tomorrow? Thinking of you xx

You are not a drain, you are thoroughly in need of those services and they would much rather that you asked for help than it spiralled out of control.
Sorry you are finding it tough right now

Are you physically safe @mind, do you need urgent attention for your wound?

If you need help then you can either go to A&E, call the crisis team, or call 999. Your mental and physical health are just as important as anyone else. If you don't want to do those things (and I can understand why you wouldn't want to), are you able to keep yourself safe, and if need be, care for your wounds?

I really hope you're okay, please keep talking on here, there's always someone to lend an ear. My daughter has mental health issues and I'd never see her as a drain on resources and neither are you. Mental health is just as important as physical health and should be treated as such! Please know there's always someone here x

Thank you all. Just feel lower every minute that passes. I have had medical professional and (mainly) police officers have said I’m a drain on resources and they shouldn’t have to come out more than once. I need to accept help (I’m trying!) and stop attention seeking. So it’s put me of emergency services.

The people people that have said that need to go fuck themselves and are quite frankly a disgrace to their uniform.

OP you are NOT and you cannot help it any more than someone who has epilepsy or similar. I’m raging on your behalf that a professional person has said this to you.

Bloody hell, I'm raging too! People who drink so much they pass out in gutters are the ones wasting resources - NOT people like you!

I don't know if you've been to, or are at hospital, but if not, do please make sure your wound is clean and properly dressed. Take care of yourself, because you deserve that

You are absolutely not a waste of resources. Any HCP or police officer who suggests that should count their lucky stars they don’t have enough personal experience of this stuff to actually understand.

I know a senior police officer in the Met and honestly, his opinions shock me. He has no idea about mental illness (amongst many, many things).

Do not take what those people have said to you seriously. To be able to ask for help is an important step and if you feel you need it then you do. Those people can FO!
