    i wasnt with paramedics. basically what happened was that a staff member from the hospital i was at before i got into the psychiatric hospital sat with me in the ambulance whilst there were two people at the front and one of them was driving.
  • eylaheylah Posts: 4,412 Community Veteran
    oh ok that sounds scary. thsnkyou for explaining bc thats helpful for me. what happened when you got there will i have to share room with other ppl? bc i dont want that. :/ sry for all questions just want to know what will happen.

    for me i got my own room and an ensuite bathroom but it depends on the psychiatric hospital. it wasnt really that scary to be honest to be around those people but it was definitely nerve-racking to say the least.

    im hoping i get my own bed bc i cant hang around other ppl its to much for me in my head. thankyou for answering my questions i appreciate you sm ❤️

    no problem. i hope youll be able to get your own bed since its better to be on your own. since youre 18 youll be in an adult ward so be prepared to be with older people. i personally was only in an adolescent ward so i dont know what happens in an adult ward. although, id imagine theyd be pretty similar.
  • eylaheylah Posts: 4,412 Community Veteran
    yeah adult ward thankyou again <3

    youll be questioned by mental health professionals and then youll be guided to your room. at least thats what happened to me.
  • eylaheylah Posts: 4,412 Community Veteran

    It sounds really difficult for you at the moment @eylah. Part of you recognises you are safer with the nurse and doctors but the other part of you being scared of hospitals. In an ideal world, what way do you want to get help right now?

    it depends what you did you get sectioned. if you were feeling unsafe it was probably the right call of action but then again i dont know the full extent of your situation.

    @eylah I can imagine how anxiety-provoking this is for you at the moment. You are being so brave. I am glad to hear that the nurses and doctors are being nice to you and I am sure this environment is the best place to help you recover.

    We are always here for you <3
