Yes and I think I replied to that one too my brain is still a little fuzzy from the od . I'm just hoping that my appeal works I can't take been stuck in here for months on end its just making everything seem so much worse too many peoplen

Hello BOB here

When I attempted, they give me a chat contacted the crisis team and said there is a four hour wait for a ambulance, I had no money so I had to walk home, some 4 miles. Ironically it was Christmas and it was snowing,

Did not want to wait for the NHS

All the best

BOB

Hey u OK how's the head x

emms profile image
emms in reply to sheffield1978

head is still very sore, but its not a nice pain like when you cut yourself, it makes me feel sick constantly and everything much harder. I am going to try and contact GP tomorrow, but dont know if I will be able again. How are you

sheffield1978 in reply to emms

If your not feeling good maybe you should go to a+e u could have done some damage I know what you mean about the drs I have done that many a time its too hard would it help if you passed me the number and I called them for you I'm not having a very good note still on 12 1

I am very glad you are still with us sheffield. I bless the policeman who kept waking you up. I, and I am very sure, everyone else here would be devastated to lose you. You are so young with all your life ahead of you. It really hurts that you want to die so much. Lots of hugs ((((((((((sheffield))))))))

emms in reply to sheffield1978

yes I used to be on constant obs, hated it, even in the toilet - I could hardly ever go....Ive been cutting my arms and legs a lot but nothing serious, i have not cut them deep

Hi Sarah,sorry to hear you're still feeling so bad.. I thought you were home!!

I must not have read your post right last night sorry.

That's just madness how you're able to selfharm so badly in the place you're in and then they're telling you you're hallucinating!!

What about your cuts,are you imagining them as well!

I'm really sorry you're having such a hard time, I hope they'll be able to help

you in some way and put you on the right medication..

Sometimes antidepressants aren't the best solution anyway, I've been on them for years, and they're doing nothing for me, I still self-harm, and I've still attempted suicide a couple of times since I've been on them.

And i'm still not dancing with joy either ;)

I hope they decide what the best thing to do for you is tomorrow so you'll be a step closer to getting out of there..

At the moment they've probably got to keep you in for your own safety, in case you try to hurt yourself again.. And I mean kill yourself, coz it seems hurting yourself is quite easy in there anyway!

Good luck Sarah,thinking of you,

Love and big hug,

Holly xxx

Well, I for one am glad that you are still with us. A close friend of mine lost her son to suicide and it devastated her and her family. Please don't do that to yours. I hope that you can get the help that you need . Life is worth living.... it's just very hard to see that at times.I hope that you can get better and make a life for yourself.{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}. xx

I know what suicide does to families my cousin committed suicide 3 years ago my family couldn't care less about me so I don't have to consider their feelings by having me here all they are doing is delaying th e inevitable

sheffield1978 in reply to emms
