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
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
are u hand chuffed to them ?
yeah of course
i am on a 1:1 supervision
when u go out, say swimming, is there someone with you ?
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
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
