Unemployed again!

Hello all.

I was given 24 hours notice that my job was redundant (after 2 weeks consultation) 2 days later I had a meltdown/PTSD episode after not sleeping for 5 days and ended up with police detaining me (in handcuffs) under 136, dumbing me at A&E then when I tried to leave the hospital the A&E staff got the police to handcuffs me again so the police could take me to a “place safety” where I was then detained under section 2 and forced to take antipsychotic meds.

Does anyone have any experience with dealing with medical staff and the police before official diagnosis? From what I’ve read the police and medical professionals are supposed to treat as Autistic even if Autism is suspected.

Also does anyone know of local support groups in Gloucester/Cheltenham.

Thanks in advance.

  • if someone calls u names, shouts abuse at you u must be able to stay calm and  not loose your temper/control. If some threatens violence u must not react and remain calm.

    that above  is like a test they carry out in police selection ( and army selection ).  

    what do u think ,,,, could u resist verbal abuse and not react ?

    with practice u can get better at it. I have been trained in it.

    but i would be a terrible policeman lol
