Sectioned

[Ballerina123]

Even though I said I was ok.
All because I wanted to go for a walk with a friend.

I've literally been good as gold on this ward. I don't get it?

Apparently I have psychotic depression. Which is not true I'm just a bit low.

Anyone else felt like this?

[sherlock holmes]

Can you ask the nurses to clarify why you have been sectioned?

[EyelinerAndCigarettes]

I'm sorry to hear you've been sectioned lovely.
I find when I'm most ill, I never think I'm ill, perhaps that's where you're at right now?
Can you ask staff why you've been sectioned, or at the next ward round?

[Ballerina123]

I asked staff and they said I'm too high risk to go home. I don't think I am as I would be looked after by a friend.

This is not me.
Someone else is in my body doing these things.
I'm not the one who's ill it the devil inside me.

[Fire Fly]

Kate, you haven't been sectioned yet. You're on a 5(2). I'm sorry things are tough but you can do it. Do uou know why they think you're psychotic? Xxx

[Sketchy]

I'm so sorry you are going through this and I hope you get the help you need. Keep talking and asking staff why they are concerned and also how you feel.

[tiptoes]

How are you doing Kate?

Do you think you could talk to the staff about how you are feeling at the moment?

[Ballerina123]

I had a really bad night last night and got restrained. I think my MHA is today which scares me.

[EyelinerAndCigarettes]

I'm glad you're safe, & glad that the staff were able to keep you safe, even if that meant you being restrained.

Have you got anyone coming with you for support? Perhaps you can use the meeting to discuss why you're being sectioned & what treatment plan they might offer you?

Wishing you all the best for the MHA, I'm sorry things are so difficult at the moment for you that you had to be restrained, that sounds terribly frightening. Thinking of you x

[sherlock holmes]

I hope it went okay today and you've got some support put in place.

Did you have your MHA assessment? If so, how did it go?
How are you feeling? I know lilacs can be a tough ward to be on, I hope you're coping okay.

Let us know how you're doing x

[Ballerina123]

My MHA was moved till today at 4.
It's been madness on the ward today.
I feel quite triggered and my mood is very low but I'm trying really hard to stay clam.

[[Luna]]

Could you talk to the staff and ask for some prn.
How did the MHA go?
I hope the ward has calmed down a bit x

[EyelinerAndCigarettes]

Hope you're okay lovely. Thinking of you.

I got put on a s2 but I'm gonna appeal it because I don't agree.


Anyone appealed a s2 before?

[mikey]

I've appealed loads of sections (2's and 3's) and lost them all.
Honestly? You've just been sectioned. Not a lot will have changed and they won't have sectioned you for no reason. Often fighting and saying you don't agree will be taken as 'lack of insight'. Appeal if you want to, by all means! It is your right. But I honestly wouldn't get your hopes up, and I'm not saying that to be nasty because I don't mean it to be, but to be realistic.

[Arienette]

^^ why I'm not appealing bc I don't want it to be used against me or keep me here longer.

[sherlock holmes]

I agree with Mikey and Arienette. A section 2 is for 28 days and really it will take about that long to get a tribunal. It's better to just wait and comply with everything asked of you and then the psychiatrist is more likely to rescind your section sooner.

[Fire Fly]

That's not entirely true. I appealed my s3 and the day before my tribunal they took me off section. So there's a chance. It's Kate right to appeal if she wants to. I don't necessarily agree to appealing it as I know her personally but if she wants to she can.

Why don't you agree to it Kate?

Leaving hugs. X
