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.
omg i am so glad that someone understands it and went through it
i got sectioned twice under the s136 and once under s2 and i know how difficult it is
it is so hard especially when they have no idea about autism
i got injected by anti-psychotic
it is horrible
i am left terrified and totally traumatized
Damn that’s horrible.
yeah it really was
i was rattled today i had a job interview online and started forgetting stuff i should know
i thought you are a person not a fly??
no but you seem to get it
maybe u dont ...... there is only so much i can do
from 200 miles away
this is why your family are so important i am like a fly on the wall compared to them
i clearly don't
it very easy to misunderstand people
i do it all the time.
You learn by making mistakes.
i am not angry
i am just overwhelmed
i generally misunderstand people which then makes me mad that i am that stupid
thanks Leah , have u heard of meditation ?
are u calm again ? or still angry ?
ok cool
i am happy for you
tired and bit stressed from todays work. then i got stuffed twice in 2 chess games. I did my 30m of meditation then all is ok again.
do they teach meditation where u are ?
i can't i need to talk to someone who gets me well kinda
how are you btw??
oh that is a biggee. How about u make ur self a cup of coffee and watch some TV ?
no!
i am always angry
i just need someone to understand it
u need to release --- u appear to be very angry with yourself
walk around the block if u can
punch a pillow many times
scream with all ur energy into a pillow
idk i am so overwhelmed with everything
this world is not made for me
the meeting has re rescheduled right ?
no not really
its ok to be annoyed . do u have issues with your dad ?
yeah just a lot going on
and i haven't be able to get much sleep
then i fell asleep just before a meeting
and i missed it
so i am annoyed even though that person was ok with it
and dad wanted to come but i didn't want hime too idk
i don't have any issues with u being here.
I am pleased you are here.

Leah said:no i am talking to a friend but we love each other again
yeah i did get some work done
well technically i get all of them done
forgiving what???
you did this before.
before leaviing u throw a hand grenade into the room
I am not sure of ur'e intention or aim
but never mind i forgive like u forgave me
it is a fine example of self-sabotage
