How are you feeling since yesterday?
It's brave of you to post your own thread about this - so often posts can get lost in the 'hugs' thread, but it's clear you're really struggling and could do with somewhere to offload that will definitely be seen.
You haven't given us much here, but the fact you've been in hospital is a big deal. But by the sounds of it relatively quickly discharged? Do you have a crisis team at the moment or anyone in mental health services you feel able to get some support from?
The fact you think you might end up repeating the overdose suggests you don't feel as if you're getting what you need at the moment, so it would be good to hear a bit more about how you're feeling about what happened.
Do you feel this is something you'd like to discuss here on TheSite?
If you feel more comfortable with 1-2-1 support, how do you feel like services like Samaritans or Supportline?
There's also TESS - a service for girls and young women specifically. You can text them monday-Friday on 0780 047 2908.
We also have an article on self-poisoning and overdose on TS which is pretty informative.
Take care,
*hug*

It sounds like you've had a really rough time recently *hug* Have you been given any indication of when the section may be lifted? Inpatient stays can be incredibly daunting, if you haven't already, it might be worth considering putting together a comfort box or similar to provide some relief from the surroundings. Having something you can smell, touch, see and taste is often recommended, although within reason to the rules on the ward.
I'm sorry to hear that you might not be allowed to go home for Christmas, has this been definitely confirmed? As hard as it is, I guess the hospital and your care team will have your best interests at heart. Will you be able to have family visits on the day?
What would you like to achieve from this admission? It might sound like a strange question, but it was something I was asked when I was a voluntary inpatient and I found the chance to reflect on things in a safe place helpful. Linking that to a care plan can give a sense of direction when you're in hospital.
As much as possible, be kind to yourself x

" So I say thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing, thanks for all the joy they're bringing, who can live without it, I ask in all honestly what would life be? Without a song or a dance, what are we? So I say thank you for the music, for giving it to me "

I'm sorry to hear about your friend Bubbles *hug*'s - Have you been able to talk to anyone about your friend, or how you're feeling at the moment? - It might help having someone to let it out to, and explore how you are! - It sounds like the ward are doing what they can to keep you safe however, and it's about taking it one step at a time, were here for you Bubbles *hug* - and keep reaching out to us

That's good news that you've been allowed to go now. I'm sorry Christmas has been so hard.
What are you planning to do next? I hope today is a bit easier for you.

They can if they think you're at risk. However, if you discharge yourself properly they shouldn't really be calling the police on you. You can always explain your reasons as to leaving, but you don't really want to be sectioned again, how long have they recommended you stay?
