I spoke to the crisis home treatment team last night as they’re looking after me until a bed comes available
We had a long conversation, and it looks like as long as I can be agreeable, seeing them instead of hospital is on the table.
Don’t know if they will accept me, as we have a history that doesn’t work in my favour.
At least if anything it helped me get some sleep last night
Best of Luck mate. Didnt realise you was unwell.
Hope you feel better soon.
I went to that new service called the Haven
They forced me to do a mental health act assessment and I had to agree or be sectioned
Lucky I had the sense to agree, otherwise I’d be in Norfolk right now
Thanks man. I need to get my ■■■■ sorted out, but hospital seems to me trading one hell for an even worse one
Never heard of the Haven, ill look it up. Lets hope you can stay out the hospital.
Hang in there buddy 
Hey mate. I think it’s good your in the mood to accept some help. It’s hard but sometimes you need to play the game to get some decent care. I wish you well as always. Just allow yourself some room to accept others ideas. Your a good egg. You deserve to have some better care.
The thing is I don’t want them to help.
I actually very calmly told them to leave me alone, and they do the complete opposite and force me
If I can pay lip service to the crisis team I can get out of this
I’m soon to be 52. I’m very good socially. Sometimes I do things I don’t want to do because even though I may not see it at the time it’s best for my health…For example. A doctor gives me pills I take them even if the world is against me and I’m mega paranoid. I trust some people and the is beneficial to my health.
I get it. The health services are problematic but I think you are doing yourself a disservice by not playing that game. Be nice. Listen to advice and trust some folks outside your circle. You may find you do ok and your better off…
All’s I’m saying to you is don’t write off everything and be confrontational about it. Play the game and do what others may suggest for a while. Just seeing some patterns of behavior there that are affecting you negatively.
They won’t let me stay in the community
Well hopefully you get the help you need and it doesn’t take long. Best of luck to you
As @bobbilly says you get no help when you need it and all of it when you don’t want it
Hang in there. In a couple of days/weeks you’ll be free again. You’re not a danger so they can’t keep you.
@Joker so you’ve been staying overnight at this Haven place?
Might not have to go into hospital
Thats good mate
Tell us when your back home
That was Thursday night
Since they sent the mental health act assessment people
Waiting for a local bed and staying with family
Not Meadowfield is it? Normally when they have had no beds ive been carted off to Eastbourne Clinic.
They said next bed in Sussex so could be anywhere in the County
