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
yeah of course
i am on a 1:1 supervision
when u go out, say swimming, is there someone with you ?
yeah
ah now i see
well I have no choice '
it needs to be done
it's not being done voluntarily
so u are doing this strategy work just to look good
what does that supposed to mean?
i didnt hear that ( hummming loudly )
lmao, i am not changing trust me
i am happy for u
that u recognise u are changing
its a big step and u have reached it
what does that mean ???
well done u ! <<<<<<-- sent to a wee celebrator emoji i know how u love them
yeah that's what i am trying to do
so u are changing
which is stressing
feel and acknowledge the fear but do it anyway
no my therapist isn't pushing me he is helping me
just generally i am making myself to be more independent so i get a taste of adult life a bit more
so arranging meetings, writing up the meetings, putting in strategies all of that stuff
what are u stressed about ?
arent u being cared for
or is the shrinks pushing u hard mentally ?
no it is not a taboo
i just have been so stressed out that i am barely eating
but since you asked, i do love cooking
i am going to bake soon for the children and needs day
no i am not on lunch break
thats ok, u're on a lunch break right ? u never mention food ? is that taboo ?
nice
sounds cool
i haven't read it your whole message though
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 !
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
u mean not literally, but metaphorically yes
but i love unliteral as a new word
not litrelly but unlitrelly yeah
are u hand chuffed to them ?
