@toffuna101 I know it's scary for you, but remember, there is no guarantee they will resort to sectioning my friend. I'm so sorry your going through this all right now

yeah. its okay, you dont have to apologise. i hope they just give me therapy instead because i dont want to spend my summer in a psychiatric hospital. plus theyll be other patients there and theyll need treatment too. @DonnerKebab

@toffuna101 as i say, i don't think they will because A - it's cheaper and easier to provide therapy than to section you, B - the police would have taken you in for a psychiatric evaluation if they thought you were a danger to yourself and others during there visit which is a requirement for sectioning, C - sectioning is an absolute last emergency resort, and D - there is far more capacity for therapy than there is for sectioning. All the factors all seem to be pointing in the direction of therapy rather than sectioning. I'm just sorry your suffering through this all. You're an amazing person, and you don't deserve to go through this struggle my friend.

yeah im kinda annoyed that i didnt ask them to send me to A&E and i cant get my dad to phone the police either because he just flat out refuses and tells me to calm down. he cant take me to A&E either because hes working today. my mum cant take me to A&E because she doesnt like going out. i feel like im just stuck honestly. the only option is to call 999, but if they send an ambulance out my dad would have to go with me because im under 18. and plus theyd send me somewhere outside of the county i live in since im in the border between london and essex. i live in hertfordshire. id have to call 999 through google mini since my mum confiscated my phone. i just want more than therapy. i have plans to do something to myself or others. @DonnerKebab

@toffuna101 if you have plans to do something to yourself, and your mum and dad have refused to help outright, then call emergency services and get yourself help. You are an amazing person. They will send an ambulance, they will take you to hospital, and they will get you a psychiatrist to assess you. Only ring if you can't keep yourself safe okay. If it's because you want more than therapy, more support, then you can try and get a referral to a psychiatrist through different avenues. Ring only if you can't keep yourself safe or others.

I'm so sorry you're at this stage my friend. Remember, you are an amazing person, truly one of the few gems in this world, and you deserve a world of kindness and care.

thank you. ill try talking to my dad now about this because ive gotten worse. ill give you an update. @DonnerKebab

111 is a good option if your unsure, they can direct you based on everything you tell them. They can send an ambulance out to you, or they can help you figure out how to get a psychiatrist assessment, but the base rule still exists. 999 if you have plans to harm yourself or others. Otherwise, 111 or your GP who can refer you to a psychiatrist if not.

I'm wishing you the best of luck my friend. Don't worry about updating me, just make sure you get the help you deserve, and get better. You are an amazing person.

@toffuna101 Amazing stuff. That's much better than nothing. I'm so proud of you for getting help despite how scary it is. I just want to check, you are safe until morning right?

@toffuna101 , thank you so much for your messages here. From what you've shared, it sounds like you've had an extreamly hard day yesterday and night. You're doing so well to talk about this.

You said that you do have plans to hurt yourself and others, and we take your feelings seriously. Can I ask, how are you keeping yourself safe from acting on these plans right now? What is supporting you in doing so?

You mentioned that your Dad said he could take you to A&E this morning. Can we check whether you've been able to do this yet or to speak with a medical professional?
