Me & my teddy called BlU got separated by my local police in duty of care. As they see him as a toy.

NAS84046

Yesterday I went with my mum to my local police hq to sort out bodycam footage & my official complaint towards the police officer who thought it was such a great idea to separate me & BlU in a suicidal situation they were reported 3x to my Flat & 2x on the road on inbetween attempting suicide theyve always think it's a good idea to separate BlU from me as they just see him as a toy. I live independently in June 2025 over the welfare of my health the police where called to arrest me covered in blood from self harm the police took BlU aeay from me & said you can't even look after your self let alone your teddy. I said can I have him back where you found him ass I was placed in cuffs with another officer holding me from escape & they said he can go in a evidence bag & in your backpack for now then gave him back to me after I attempted suicide. Then wasn't happy that the minute I got to hospital the 1st time I run away as hospital isn't a place for suicidal people as hospital is a place filled with weapons & kids & sick ill patients. Not an asylum or mental health ward. As our is off hospital ground.

[post edited by moderators to remove a single line that included detail about past suicide attempts. This was done to ensure the content remains safe and supportive for all readers.]

I don't pose any risk to anyone else apart from myself as I can't ignore bullying like many people can do. For me things seem to get bottled up & when the bottle is full with anxiety & depression & low self esteem. It's time to start where I tried to end it. By any way possible. BlU helps alot but he's not a medical professional he just a teddy who gets all the love & I try to protect him as he does for me. & if the public take BlU from me it's classed as common assault. But it's acceptable for a police officer to take him away from me.without apologising.

I'm 40 diagnosed with high functioning autism & level 3 autism & EUPD.

  • Hi  , thank you for posting and sharing with the community what you’re going through. I’m sorry to hear you got separated from your teddy called BIU. It’s good that you’ve let us know what’s happening and how you feel. Because you mentioned attempting suicide before, and other people in a similar situation may read your post, I’m posting below some information which may help you and others coping with difficult situations and having suicidal thoughts.

    If you are unable to cope with the distress or despair, it’s very important to tell someone about your feelings or thoughts of suicide. Call your GP and make an urgent appointment. Your GP can make sure you get appropriate help and support.

    Hiya Anna Mod. I have been in touch with all recommend helplines & getting help. I had support from mental health on the Isle of man but not seen them now for all most 17 weeks. My CMHT has handed me to crisis team but they can only offer me to get sectioned no other help available. As for 999 I don't believe in that number as of the last time I used it was because my electricity went off & I rang 999 & asked for fire because I seen a spark from a trip switch which looked dangerous in pitch black. The fire men helped me & called the correct man for the job to come out which was an electrician he sorted it within 45mins. The next morning I woke up & was told off by 2 landlords my landlord who owns flat & also the landlord who owns the building & both told me off for ringing 999 & asking fire service to help on electricity.

    I explained it was an emergency but after this happened & in future when this happeneds I won't phone 999 I will just give up. Everyone who knows me knows have autism & I carry enough awareness with me. But many still assume that they can tell us off instead saying you did right thing.
