Abuse from NHS nurses.

Miss.Omnivore99

I would like to ask others if they, too, have been abused verbally, mentally etc by nurses that work in General hospitals prior to being diagnosed with autism?

I've suffered horribly in both my local hospitals - Poole General and Royal Bournemouth - and now flatly refuse to go anywhere near any hospital, anywhere in Britain. 
I have been verbally abused and had the p!ss taken out of me by nurses and due to being physically disabled, have had to crawl on my hands and knees out of A&E whilst nurses have walked alongside me laughing. 

I’ve been ‘different’ all my life and have only recently been diagnosed with autism. Suddenly everything makes sense. It’s heartbreaking that I’ve had to wait my whole life for somebody to realise that all the ‘reports’ about me were wrong. I’m not mad and I’m not bad but after decades of mental health diagnoses - EUPD amongst others - I was told my troubles were “behavioural” and MH washed their hands of me. Everybody then assumed my meltdowns were delinquent behaviour and I ended up in prison. 
It was my saving grace. 

whilst in prison they had eyes on me 24/7 and realised that I had been wrongly convicted and wrongly labelled. After many assessments I was diagnosed with autism with Complex Post traumatic stress disorder. 

I left prison just under 2 years ago and have the support that I’d been denied all my life. 
People now know that I’m not a horrible person, I’m not violent or aggressive and I’m not attention seeking. 
Im 60 years old in a couple of months time and my life has finally started to be one that I would like to keep. I’ve been on life support twice when things have gotten really unbearable and now that I’ve left prison I have a great team of people supporting me. 

The one thing that causes me any upset now is wondering how many other women are out there going through the horrors that I have?

I hope they find somebody that sees them for who they truly are and not treated harshly because MH services and the NHS are still living in the dark ages and reject anyone that doesn’t fit the mould that they’re trying to squeeze them into.

  • I’ve tried to respond to some comments and give further details of the treatment I’ve received but the moderators’ have taken my comments down due to their belief that it’s wrong to vilify a whole group of people. Ordinarily I would agree but the problem with the NHS is it’s like the Care system I was in as a child. They were horribly abusive but nobody wanted to listen. They all thought we were lying. 
    It’s due to such attitudes that abuse of certain groups continues. 
    I just fail to understand why others don’t want to listen when you try to say how abusive a system is. There may have been some very nice care staff but they either left due to their belief pressure put on them or they simply stayed quiet and basically allowed the abuse to continue. 
    So although I’m not saying every nurse is abusive, I am saying that the abuse dished out by some is not stopped because the system won’t allow it. They refused to admit that the establishment has become septic because they’ve no way of stopping it. 
    So until such time as voices don’t get shut down, the abuse of certain communities will go on being abused by establishments such as the NHS. 
    Being autistic makes it impossible for me to understand why people are horrible to others but having seen and heard of it from so many so called ‘caring’ groups it seems to me at least that those that are natural bullies work in places where their abuse is overlooked, ignored or simply dismissed as lies. 
    We are seeing so much more of such issues because the world is connected in ways it’s never been and even the tiniest voices can be heard. 
    Boarding schools, children’s homes, the church, police services and other establishments, along with places like the BBC etc., are now having to answer some very awkward questions and one day others will stop deleting those tiny voices and something may be done about it. 
    Whilst others keep blocking the truth because some find the truth to be upsetting, nothing will change and certain communities will continue to be targeted. 

    And I expect the moderators will delete this too. For a site that’s supposed to be a safe place to share, it’s very picky on what you’re actually allowed to share. 

    If you’re not part of the solution, you are part of the problem.
