They are sectioning me

Chocolatethief · 11/09/2019 23:33

Basically the title I got admitted last night by the police was assessed and I agreed to go into hospital so waiting for a bed but I dont want to. Today i asked to go home as I feel fine but they wont let me they have all agreed I have to go in and are waiting for a hed to be available to place me on the section so I'm stuck in a room with 2 members off staff and cant go anywhere I hate it. The staff are nice but I'm taking up space I dont need to be here.

Not allowed to smoke keep asking but they wont change there mind, they have found a bed so waiting for transport and the section paper work has been completed, they said the same as you lot that the fact I am so calm is even more worrying. Hopefully I can get my friend to come tomorrow once I'm closer to home she can being me a lighter and I can smoke out the window like last time. I sont likendoing but they wont care where I'm going as long as I dont set the fire alarm off. Have been talking to the staff and they are nice slept loads since I got here and they have said it's because I'm safe and feel calmer.

Sleep is good. I like sleep.
Glad the staff are nice too. Will you move tonight or tomorrow do you think?

Wolfiefan · 12/09/2019 22:59

I’m glad you feel safe and calmer too. Hope you can sneak a cigarette soon!

CuriousMama · 12/09/2019 23:06

That's good you're feeling safe.

I hope your friend can come.

Chocolatethief I have seen more than the one person in your state and its sometimes remarkable what can be done these days, you are not wasting their time you just aren't that well.

Can understand the fags tho, my first wife was in your situation all she wanted was a few bottles of Guinness offically they said no but a few of the staff said if you go out in the gardens just look behind that bush and sure enough was her "stash" bloody crate full!, she didnt sup it all at once but she said it made her feel better, so some medicinal properties it was a bit of a pain getting rid of the empties but she impoved over time.

In those days the whole hospital was a cloud of smoke, i doubt it'd ran the way it did if smoking wasn't allowed!

I wish you well and keep posting if it makes you feel any better:)

On the ward now and its hell, it's been kicking off since I got here and I want to leave but obviously I cant how is this going to do anything. I've been here a few hours and feel like nothing but a problem the staff clearly dont want me here.

Just read your thread - try and remember if you can that it’s your illness making you feel like they don’t want you there - it’s not real.

Can you go to bed for a bit? You could ask if they can give you something to help you sleep - depending on your other meds this may be possible.

You are doing really well. Be proud of yourself. Xxx

And to make things worse I have just come on and have no tampons this just gets better and better

chocolatethief two months ago I went out with the intention of killing myself. I have now been discharged back to my GP after home care and community care. This was because I am no longer suicidal, don't like to make a fuss, clearly wasn't the most ill person by a long way, am finding it difficult to put into words how bad I feel. I still want help but am.now unsure how I can get it.

Take the help OP. Sleeping is a good sign. Now you have had a rest and are calmer, talk with the staff about what care is available for you. Think gently about how you've been feeling, how you are feeling now. See this as your path to feeling better.

GreatBigNoise · 13/09/2019 07:23

I've no words of wisdom but wanted to wish you well. Saying I hope you feel better soon sounds ridiculous and silly but I really, really do hope you feel better soon.

Mamasaurus82 · 13/09/2019 07:39

Our brains are so much more complicated than we realise. I have struggled with anxiety and depression since childhood and a few years ago, found the help I needed. I thought it was all pointless and that nothing could help me, but it turns out, sometimes we're wrong about ourselves and fortunately I'm in a good place now. You can be too. I really believe that. I hope things get easier on the ward and you accept the help that's coming your way.

GlasshouseStoneThrower · 13/09/2019 08:00

I'm so sorry OP - it sounds like you're in a very difficult place.

It also sounds like your illness is telling you things which aren't true - that it's hopeless, that you will never feel better, that nothing can be done. These thoughts feel true, but they aren't.

I hope your pain eases soon

CuriousMama · 13/09/2019 08:01

Did you get any tampons?

joblotbubble · 13/09/2019 08:07

I hope you manage to get a fag, not being able to smoke just makes everything feel much worse. I do think staff really need to turn a blind eye in these circumstances

barryfromclareisfit · 13/09/2019 08:07

Currently, there’s a little known benefit of having been sectioned - later in life, you don’t have to pay care home fees.

I hope you get what you need to be well again, OP.

joblotbubble · 13/09/2019 08:15

Hmm, don't really want to derail the thread because it's totally unfair to OP but it's not as clear cut as if you have ever been sectioned you don't have to pay.

Like I said though, it's not important right now.

Chocolatethief · 13/09/2019 08:50

No to not pay it's a section 3 and I'm on a 2, managed to get some pads but my glasses have now broke so they have to speak to the consultant when he is in to see if there is any chance of being able to go and get that sorted but knowing my look it will be a no. But if I can get them sorted it should mean I'm allowed outside to smoke

OP posts:

CuriousMama · 13/09/2019 10:30

I hope you get to have a smoke today.

Chocolatethief · 13/09/2019 20:29

Been no consultant so no leave to smoke or anything I just want to go home I hate this so much I have been here before but never felt so hated by staff I get bad lucks tildni should have just lied and she right but I tried and they saw through it. I have to get away from here and I cant.

OP posts:

incognitomum · 13/09/2019 23:29

That's awful you feel like that about the staff.

Have they said how long you'll be there? Is anyone going to be able to help support you out of hospital?

joblotbubble · 14/09/2019 09:14

I hope you have a better day today

It's sounds horrendous and I don't think it's helps to be prevented from smoking. You are in the right place though, you need to be there because you need to get some help. Not help like before, lo that works. A PP mentioned it took numerous tries to get their meds right, maybe that's what you need too and you are there so they can assess what to try next. Stay strong OP.

Got some leave so can go out to smoke now and managed to get my glasses fixed, managed to speak to a nurse last night who I know and that has helped and I am doing better with feeling emotions again which I actually hate. I know it's not right to feel the way I do but at the same time I still dont get it and wish I still didn't feel anything. I should be out monday it will be the same as my past admissions so still feels pointless even though I do acknowledge that it has helped to keep me safe I still wish they hadn't done but I need to see through the thing that brought me in. If anyone wants to know what that is there I have done a thread about it called I rang the police. Thank you for supporting me through this even though I dont know you it has made me feel less alone as most people dont get it.

OP posts:

incognitomum · 14/09/2019 18:21

I'm glad you managed to have a smoke.

Monday isn't far away. Do you have someone to support you at home?

Original poster

Chocolatethief · 14/09/2019 18:38

I have support workers 3 days a week and normally see my care co every week so I do but it's hard I'm worse at night but I just have to keep trying my best. It feels ridiculous how different I feel from when they admitted me I feel right now that I dont need to be here which I suppose hadn't changed and when I think about it the reasons haven't changed but at the same time I feel different and that I'm not currently an immediate risk to myself.

OP posts:

incognitomum · 14/09/2019 18:51

I'm a support worker but for people who not only have mh issues but have learning difficulties. A few say night times are worse.

You can always talk to us. I've found mn very helpful in the past with allsorts of worries. Or even just to chat.
