im coping and im safe so thats good
its not rude at all dont worry, i understand why you would say that. the thing is A&E will just discharge me instantly, and by that i mean the camhs crisis team will discharge me. i could phone 111, however like i said yesterday im not allowed to have my phone at night so id have to ask my dad to phone 111 on his phone for me. i doubt he will though as hes just as fed up with the mental health services as i am. so im kind of stuck here. i mean, what will 111 even do anyways? theyll just say to go to A&E too. @eylah
true, but should i really go to A&E just for that? i feel like its not an emergency since i can still function and breathe normally. physically im fine. @eylah
ok.
i understand. im sorry, maybe i shouldnt have made this post in the first place.
@toffuna101 eylah is 100% correct. Go to A&E right now. The fact is, you can have internal damage below the surface, you could have all sorts and your in a mental health emergency. You need to get to A&E immediately, and every single person on here and in the medical profession 100% would agree.
i cant take myself to A&E since im too young to drive. plus my dad has work tomorrow so he cant take me too. he needs to rest. in fact because of me (he has psychosis too) hes started taking double the dose of antipsychotics. i dont want to make him worse because of me. my mum cant take me because she needs to rest too. and i dont have my phone with me so i cant call the police to take me. i cant call an ambulance also because of this. so im stuck. i dont know what to do. the camhs crisis team will just discharge me too. but to be fair id only want to go to A&E this time to get medically cleared. thats it. i dont really mind if camhs discharge me. the only option i have is to contact childline again and explain the situation. then they can break confidentiality and send out an ambulance for me.
@toffuna101 you 100% need to go. I have a cousin, he bumped his head and was fine for 3 days, then died out of nowhere after a headache. He had a brain bleed, despite only having a small bump on his head. Damage beneath the surface might not present as severe on the outside, but can be severe on the inside. That's why they need to check you out, even if it's just a bruise. And the fact is, you're in a mental health crisis, so you 100% need to get to A&E where they can keep you safe and help you. They will 100% catch on to the fact it's happened this many times in this many days, and you will accelerate and increase what support there is. ARC by the sounds of it sounds like a social care scheme, not mental health professionals for dealing with emergencies. I'm afraid it's not an ask toffunna to go to A&E, i'm gonna have to demand you either ask your dad to take you or ring them.
@toffuna101 yes 100% contact childline. And your dad's psychosis is not your fault. Don't ever say that it is. Either wake your mom or dad, it's an emergency and it's there duty, or ring childline to get them to send emergency services to help.
ok ill just contact childline right now for them to send an ambulance out to me. thats the only way i can go to A&E right now. its fine, you dont have to apologise.
ok ill do something to sort this all out dont worry.
this sucks
@toffuna101 i'm here to talk to you all through it with them, if you have any questions about it, or just don't want to be alone, just make sure you contact them and ask them to send someone out to you right now, and i'm here with you all the way.
thank you so much
@toffuna101 I'm gonna look to see what other services you can contact online so you can ask them to contact help for you. Hold tight mate.
ok
i can yeah, could you send me a link to their webchat please? when i tried to find their webchat earlier i was confused because i couldnt find it at all. @eylah
yeah ill stay in the queue as long as i can
i don't know how long they take but there open for another 10 minutes.
sry i got spam blocked
i dont think ill be able to get to them honestly. if the queue for childline is red then i can probably guess that theres a long queue for this too.
