not quite sure what just happened.....
I woke this morning in a pretty low mood, its been quite persistent over the past couple of weeks, with intermittent moments of paranoia and maybe mania. I ended up harming myself. Then for some unknown reason I walked into the staff office at the supported hostel i live in and asked for a first aid kit!!!. I never really ask them for help and always tell them that I am fine, no matter how I am feeling or what is going on. I have no idea what possessed me to walk into their office.
They told me to go and be assessed at hospital. I said no and walked out in tears. They then came to my room and threatened to call the police if I did not let them in. I let them in and then told them no again, I was fine. And i felt fine.
Five minutes later the police and paramedics were outside my door, threatening to drag me out if I did not let them in. I had no choice but to go with them to a&e.
I sat there for three hours, and talked my way out of there when a member of the psych team eventually showed up. They kept my meds but let me go.
I guess the reason I am posting is because now I am worried that the fact the police were present might show up on my CRB. The police didn't stay at the hospital with me, but I had a hospital security guard and a healthcare assistant outside my room the whole time I was there so it didnt feel like i could leave.
Also, I dont think I have processed what happened today. It all seems so unreal. I have anxiety issues and I wasn't the least bit anxious because it was like it wasn't really happening to me. I was just flitting in and out of the moment.
Any info on the repercussions of my CRB would be appreciated.
Also, I do not know very much about the mental health act, are they actually allowed to detain you?
