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.

Please make yourself be in a safe place, don’t let this bitch get to you
You matter more than your thoughts are telling you

There just thoughts!! There not you thinking them it’s the illness
The thoughts you have, there not real, don’t pay attention to them
Acknowledge them and carry on with your day

I can but if I'm bad it's not fair on her she has her own issues and doesn't need mine on top

Why not let your friend decide that?

She has that is what she has said because when I get back it's to much for her to deal with

Are u still in chocolate?
What have they said/come up with for u, any outside help available to you in the area? You live
As it different for each area and down to funding!!!!
Are u under primary or secondary mh care

I was under secondary when I was really poorly but know all I can get is
Cbt or counselling and then it was a massive wait and don’t think it helped me much to be honest

Hi there Chocolate! Posted a few days ago and haven’t had a chance to check Mumsnet since then, but I kept thinking about you and what you are going through and how brave you are being.
Really hope you are ok! Stay strong, and look after yourself, my lovely. X

Figroll16 · 16/09/2019 18:51

Them not being able to do anything and me feeling worse, struggling to keep myself safe and also feel stupid to be struggling so quickly after getting out of hospital

OP posts:
Wolfiefan · 18/09/2019 20:54

It’s not stupid. No more stupid than my asthma getting worse just after seeing a doctor. What made them think you would be ok? Any plan in place?

Polkadotdelight · 18/09/2019 20:55

You are not stupid at all my lovely. It's a big jump to be discharged home, it's easy to feel unsupported and alone. If you need the crisis team please do ring them. They are there to help you and would prefer to help you through blips than see you struggle with no help x

HappyHedgehog247 · 18/09/2019 20:56

Handhold here. It’s not stupid to struggle. It’s just one of those things. That’s what they give you a crisis team number for. X

I spoke to them got told to not worry about things as I cant change them, didn't realise it was that easy I mean it's not like my whole diagnosis is that I cant emotionally regulate myself or anything. I dont know what I'm suppose to do

Phycadelicsilhouette · 18/09/2019 21:09

Hello @Chocolatethief, how are you doing? Have you managed to call the crisis team?
I’m so sorry you’ve been feeling so rubbish. Here to talk if you need to.

HeartStrings · 18/09/2019 21:10

@Chocolatethief never feel stupid! You're going through a lot. I really hope you get the help you need and recover soon.
Giving you a handhold and sending you love and a virtual hug. That's the best I can do over the internet Thanks

I tried to ring my friend then realized in this state she doesn't want me to and I dont know what to do I dont know how to be safe right now I cant ring anyone cant go anywhere I'm all alone and have no one to turn to

OP posts:
Phycadelicsilhouette · 18/09/2019 21:27

Sorry i’d not seen your previous reply about having spoken to them. I know I’m only a stranger online but I will listen to anything you want to say. Is there anything you could plan for the rest of the week? Something nice for tomorrow’s tea? A walk somewhere you like to go? Favourite music? Sorry if that’s not very helpful. You can be safe by staying online and talking through how you feel right now. There doesn’t need to be any solutions immediately. Sometimes it’s just a relief to talk.

Wolfiefan · 18/09/2019 21:35

Of course it’s not that easy. What about tonight? Is there one good thing you could do? I’m going to try and read in a bit. Right now I’m browsing on Amazon. Blush

Got even worse wasnt safe then managed to make myself safe again and rang for for an ambulance because I cant be safe and spoke to a mental health practitioner that said they cant do anything I give up

OP posts:
Wolfiefan · 18/09/2019 22:23

Is an ambulance coming?

granadagirl · 18/09/2019 22:31

They can’t do anything!!! Wtf
Doesn’t know what they talking about

Ring an ambulance, you gave only just be released from hospital for suicidal can’t keep yourself safe

cakeandchampagne · 18/09/2019 22:31

What is meant by “....they cant do anything....”?
They can’t help you over the phone & you need to go to the hospital?
Try very hard to stay safe as you wait for the ambulance.

Wolfiefan · 18/09/2019 22:49

Is it on the way OP?
