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
self sabotage is common among autistic i have that trait
its like a suicide feeling
i am willing to get myself fired on the way to proving a high up manager wrong
thats the trait that led me going for a diagnosis
now when i get the feeling I say stop get a cup of coffee go for a walk
i think force thoughts like
"get real",
"would other people do this or just me"
"what do u think u will prove",
"leave it",
"do it tomorrow",
"step back and think" ,
"relax , step back, and think"
" will this matter in 5 years"
"there are people dying,starving, what would they think about your big principle"
ZEN >>> if u dont exist >>>why are u getting upset >>> there is no one to be upset !
they think I am doing well
but I self-sabotage
and when i am feeling low that means that it will be for over a month
what do ur shrinks say about your progress ?
i think i am going to far
i need to concentrate for rest of today.
it's been fun today talking with you.
i think u are improving.
one last question then you can put your feet up.
how can i fix my own mind???
i mean i could change the mindest from a fixed to a growth
would that do any good for you?
typo changed fixed to fix
so
fix Leah's mind !
and afterwards you could do their nails
how? what are the rules?
If you could fix these things you’d be a multimillionaire
done what?
can u have it done by tomorrow please
yeah I know
at your age anything is possible --- u could fix yourself ha ha
so do i
i want to be a psychologist for years
maybe. i'll wait till covid is over.
I find the human mind incredible.
why?
and you can always do it
i know that you are old but you can still do it
you sound so nice
thanks Leah -- if i had my life again i would become a psychotherapist.
omg well done you aidie
enjoy 7Cups.com ?
i did, but taking to depressed and suicidal people each day eventually got me depressed so I had to stop. I talked to hundreds of people in a week.
we had 10 people per second looking for help approx and 100s of listeners ( volunteers like me )
u could go on it and chat away.
Downside: one girl i talked to for months i couldn't get her negative thinking stopped
Upside: i managed to persuade one suicide in the act, to stop killing himself, and restart his career
this , what does this mean ?
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
so did u get your work done ?
do u need help with your work ?
no i am talking to a friend but we love each other again
i test software. The websites I test are pretty much like this one.
are u watching TV?
that's good
probably a good think then
what do you work as??
NO WORK i can sit on my ass and drink tea and play chess and wander around the internet
i used to go out boozing but i have stopped that now.
i hate the weekend
why do you like it?
its the weekend ! hooray !
lmao, bye
ok be bad
bye
no i will be bad !!
ok i'll let u go for now
its been a nice chat
wishing u well
have a good day
be good
see u later
yeah
u mean not literally, but metaphorically yes
but i love unliteral as a new word
not litrelly but unlitrelly yeah

i am on a 1:1 supervision
when u go out, say swimming, is there someone with you ?
