    1. See your GP and perhaps bring along a piece of paper to prompt you as you talk to them, which outlines your difficulties

    2. I've been sectioned once, for six days, so I speak from experience here. It's VERY, VERY, VERY hard to get sectioned. People, i.e., attempt suicide multiple times and don't even even get sectioned. It's unlikely you'll get sectioned - the NHS is underfunded and there's a scarcity of beds.
