I purposely and accidentally hovered my arm over steam, I looked n it made a mark I ran it under cold water, I left it for carers to notice, i no they r shite, The one I get on with did. They took me to the main building to another person, they got a meds meds kit out. They wiped it and squirted with stuff n sent me on my way. I asked them about going to urgent care n they refused.
Wat should they hav done? I've gd now. I went to the pharmacy instead. I'm away frm where I live atm 😀
Crazy mad insane

Hi @ellie2000 , thank you for making this post and for letting us know what happened with the steam. How is your arm feeling now? What was happening for you emotionally when you held your arm over the steam?
It sounds like you might have been going through a hard time, and it was important to you that your carers would notice and take care. That is so valid, Ellie, and you deserve support to keep safe. It sounds really positive that your carer did notice that your arm was hurt and that they helped you get some medical attention.
You said that you're away from where you live right now - would you feel comfortable sharing some more about this?
@Sian321 I didn't think they handled it well
