Has anybody ever actually gone to A&E because they were suicidal or just not coping?

[ABitWrong]

What do they do? Do they let you go? Do they involve SS?

I have done lots of first steps. I went to gp, I went back to gp, I was assessed twice. When does it start getting easier? I would like it to be easier now please.

there is the rub,need to be patient doesnt happen as quickly as you'd like it too

positives are you are communicating,able to have the dialogue

no quick answers - so dont beat yourself up expecting quick quick chop chop resolution

takes as long as it takes

do you have a good cmht and/or psychiatrist? what about recovery centre activities?

sometimes you just have to take it moment by moment, seeing what you can do to improve each moment as it comes - you won't always feel this bad, you will feel better again

ABW, you are not alone. I know exactly what you mean about being 2 people and using 'the right one'. The squeezing of the head. I felt like i had nothing left, that i was watching someone elses life. Felt completly detached from everything and everyone. I am now a few months down the line and am hoping to be discharged by the mental health team today. When i was at my lowest i was told by the crisis team to walk into any A&E in the country and i would be seen. The number of times i phoned the crisis line and just cried down the phone at them. If you want to talk please email on sebity @ hotmail . co .uk. I am on MSN most of the day and will happily give you my number if you need to talk.

Take care

Meant to say there was never any mention of the children being taken away, it was me i wanted to harm not them

ABW - can you talk me through what has happened so far?
ie: you went to gp and talked to her, she referred you to Community mental health team who assessed you but discharged you? Or what?

It might help us suggest other ways you can access help and support.

they assessed me then i had to wait then they reassessed me, this time it was a psychologist

i wasn't so bad then

felt i was in control of eating probs then, but in fact i am not, it has got worse

they felt it could be dangerous to change my behaviour without preparation so i was offered art therapy

which i have had only 1 session of, then summer holidays so i don't get my opportunities

starting again in sept

art therapist says i can phone her any time but is hard to find time when she is free andi can talk

in person i think i give the impression of being more okay than i am

it is ok to ask for more help. It is ok to let people know that you might have been 'more' ok then, but you are not now.

Are able to print out this thread, or write out how you were feeling last night and take it with you when you next speak to GP/art therapist/CMHT person?

mental health - good and bad - is rarely static, IYKWIM.

Earlier on my brain was shaking now it is too hot. My heart is beating too fast. My head is squeezing again. I hate evenings

ABW, you there?

ABW - what do you need?

am here

How are you feeling?

Good to see you

I have just sent you a friend request on facebook

really crap

Are you on your own or is other half there?
Are you able to go somewhere so i can call you?

here, open till 11pm.
Please ring them now. i don't care if the kids need feeding or if your partner is sitting on the phone.

ABW, I have 'known' you on here for several years and I am seriously worried for you because of the changes in your mental health recently.

Mollyroger is right, please call them, they are a fantastic organisation. No one will judge you or make any assumptions, they are just there to help I know what it feels like to not want/need help from people you know, but these people are strangers and trained to help

puddy, is she talking to you?

ah sorry love, x-post.

ok, they were engaged. try again.
