@toffuna101 i mean like when the ambulance showed up to your house. Were they aware and okay with it, or did they have some other reaction?
@toffuna101 I'm glad to hear it.
So now it's just a waiting game. I think given this is the third time in a short period, the hospital will recognise the severity of your mental state. Or at the very least, will be so inconvenienced they'll have to give more support and psychiatric care sooner, if only to reduce the numbers in A&E. It's sad, but they will have to help either way with more.
i got seen by the camhs crisis team and they said that they will keep me in hospital for now until they get more information
I feel safer now that I'm in A&E
I’m glad to hear that <3 what have they said so far? <3
they will keep me in here indefinitely until they find out more information. I need to speak to a doctor first.
oh ok that’s gd @toffuna101 im glad you’re safe! <3
yeah, I hope camhs actually do something this time
I’m rly hoping they do something for you bc you don’t deserve to suffer like you are. <3
yeah. apparently the ambulance services sent me to the wrong part of the A&E. I was meant to go to paediatrics (children's) A&E since the NHS Trust's hospital that I'm in has different policies to the one I went to the other two times recently. Its up to 18 in the hospital that I'm in right now whereas the hospital I usually go into its only up to 16.
Nevermind there was a mistake, im in the right section of the A&E. they're gonna discharge me today. I'm so done. I told them that I'm not safe at home but they still think its within my best interests to stay at home in the community
my psychiatrist says the same thing that inpatient treatment is not within my best interests because they spoke to him too. So there's no point in getting an early appointment because he simply won't refer me to a psychiatric hospital voluntarily. I give up. I'm going to start refusing going to camhs appointments unless if they send me to a psychiatric hospital or at least refer me to the home treatment team again.
they just say the same things anyways
It sounds like the last 24 hours have been extremely distressing. And now being discharged is the very last thing that you wanted to happen. Have they mentioned anything about the home treatment team being able to support you?
You're being so brave to share about this, and I can hear just how badly you're wanting to get support and keep safe. Can I ask, what is this evening looking like for you and how do you plan to keep safe when you're home around 4pm?
We're all here for you as a Community and while I appreciate we can't offer practical solutions, we're here to listen and give emotional support. You're doing so well to talk about this.
im home now and my dad's going to supervise me to keep me safe. they mentioned the home treatment team. the crisis team will talk to my main camhs team about it I guess. I don't know I just felt like going to A&E was pointless.
im just so tired. yes I think I'll be able to for now at least.
I just need to find a way to talk to him...
i do, I'll give them a ring tomorrow
