    Hey @spacedog everything is sounding so tough right now. Being sectioned and detained is a really frightening thing to go through. It's so hard when things feel out of our control. How are you feeling at the moment? And how are you finding the support from the hospital staff?

    Knowing your rights when sectioned can give you a sense of strength and empowerment. I'm not sure if you have read this already, but mind has this great resource on their website - here. I hope this might help you regain some control and agency <3

    We're here for you @spacedog . You're being so brave. Keep going and remember how strong you are :star:

    we are all here for you and sending lots of hugs :3

    Hi @spacedog I can really hear how frightened you might be feeling right now. Finding things out about our mental health can feel shocking and scary but often answers lead to options.

    If what you are experiencing really is a psychotic disorder, perhaps this means you’ll get the right treatment now.

    How has today been for you? <3

    Sending hugs and strength to you :)

    So the psychiatrist said basically I won't be forced on medication but he will basically hold me here until I do take it which is a difficult one
    @spacedog what do you think you'll do?

    Also wanted to say, you said 'I want to cry' in your main post. Can't imagine myself not crying in your position to be honest man. Let it out if you need to. Big hugs.
    All behaviour is a need trying to be met.

    I don’t know any of the terminology but a detention? Why does it sound like you’ve done something wrong?
    Is there someone you can talk to about why you don’t want the medication?
    This all sounds so hard, I don’t even know what to say 🫂

    I'm so sorry to hear this @spacedog, no one should ever be threatened like that, and it's heartbreaking that you're not getting the support you need from your dad right now. You’re already dealing with so much right now and you deserve to feel safe and supported from those around you. Do you feel comfy sharing a bit about what happened? We're all here to listen and support you <3

    How are you feeling about going home this weekend and how has today been for you?

    Keep us updated on how you're doing, remember we’re all here for you, and you're not alone in this. Sending lots of hugs your way right now :star:
    Maybe somethings don't get better, but we do. We get stronger. We learn to live with our situations as messy and ugly as they are. We fix what we can and we adapt to what we can't. Maybe some of us will never fully be okay, but at least we're here. We're still trying. We're doing the best we can. That's worth celebrating too ❤

    do you come home this weekend? hru? <3
    ppl dont always need advice. sometimes all they rly need is a hand to hold. an ear to listen. and a heart to understand them. 🧸

    @spacedog It's important that you are safe and supported, so it's good that you are going to discuss alternative accommodation options for you. Do you find the staff supportive and accommodating? Hopefully, they can provide you with some options moving forward which can keep you safe and aid your journey to recovery
