I was admitted to hospital for assessment and they werent interested in why i felt so down and sad they just wanted to know if i felt like harming myself or other people. When they had agreed i wasnt and just needed a friend or someone to talk to they released me at 5am no money or way to get home.
I was admitted with blue lights and 2 policemen came in the house and frog marched me out to the ambulance, (neighbours all hanging out windows at the loony tune down the road thats weird so they dont talk to them, loving every entertaining min of it)My hubby phoned the crisis team and said i hadnt stopped crying all day and that i felt strange that was the reaction i got.
5hrs in A n E, blood tests, asking about my kids and social services alerted, medical history, blood pressure and temperature taken, then finaly a psychiatrist, chat for about 10 mins and the question asked about harming and kicked out, no meds, no support, no follow up, no nothing, a follow up at the outpatients of my shrink at local place had no record of my admission, nor do they to this day, nor my doctors, what is the point???
Feel real down, come on here, more input than the mental health services. I havent reached the point of harm to others or myself yet, a few more experiences of above andi certainly will.
