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.
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 !
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
