Unemployed again!

G60-LEG
over 3 years ago

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.

    well it is a long story 

    i lived in london from when i was born which is 2004

    my mum moved us to manchester 2014

    my my and dad separated 2012 / 2013 

    so when we moved to manchester my mum had 5 kids to look after in a 2 and a half bedroom house which is tiny for 6 people 

    we would constantly get abused and neglected by her 

    she would take her shoes off and hit us and being really horrible

    i would look after the kids and cook and take them to the park whilst my brother would clean the house 

    my dad would come over every 2 weeks for the weekend which because i am Jewish is called Shabbat and should be celebrated every week 

    there was a rule and a formal agreement from the divorce jewish lawyers that my dad would take us on holiday every year 

    so the first year went great and for me was a nightmare but as long as no-one knows that's great

    my mum would always go to israel to see her family 

    fast forward to the year of 2016 

    again my mum would stay up all night packing and i would be there to help her and then she would hand us over to my dad 

    that year it was totally different, i packed all 5 suitcases and i helped to pack hers 

    at that time i was 12 and 3 and a half months

    and she told me don't tell anyone but i am never returning and yeah she didn't 

    the whole holiday i was terrified thinking how the rest of the family will find out 

    so my dad found out from his solicitor and the family were just told not sure by whom

    fast forward a bit, i went to a foster carer that my dad new from the community 

    i loved it there 

    and then we lived at dads at 2017 and i had a lot of change and responsibility 

    and then i mentally crashed 

    had too much useless proffesionals with the wrong help at the very wrong time 

    so i went to A&E and said that i want to go into care 

    and 11 days of being in there 

    i met the perfect foster carer and my mental health kept on escalating and then that placement didn't work 

    so i went to a few others 

    add a dozen of hospital admissions and yeah 

    they found a residential home which i have been nearly a year which ois the longest placement i have had 

    so yeah that is how
