They booked me a holiday for an unknown period of time to get right - in a bed they not know where
Maybe it will be local
They hope it will
I am high priority on the list if that even really means anything when people are screaming down the phone for beds

I have a cousin who considers stays in a psych hospital as a holiday. No need to cook, clean,…
I hope you can make the best out of it.

It may take a day or 2 for a bed to be found

You could be moved anywhere in the Country. My friend got moved to Birmingham from Nottingham and the ward was dangerous (according to him) and he said their was a violent jihadi wannabe on the ward until he was moved.
Are they organising all the transport etc?
I hope they take good care of you you deserve a break

This is my concern, but they want to keep me local. My mother is sleeping at my flat whilst they find me a bed

My mum said that she will take me instead of an ambulance
Not sure what to expect, as I have kept off the ward for 4 years

I don’t understand what is going on
Told them, and made clear that they do not have a service that can help me

@Joker So sorry to hear you are not coping very well.
Try not to worry, I know it’s easier said than done.
Really hope you get a bed at a local hospital you are familiar with. It’s very frightening going into hospital and not actually knowing when.
I know you’re still waiting, but that might be because your waiting for a bed locally and that’s a good thing.
Everything will be ok. And I wish you the very best. Hope you get well soon.
Take good care

Thanks I am not sure they can help me
I have told them they cannot help me yet they go and threaten me with being sectioned if I don’t go voluntarily

I understand @Joker I would hate being sectioned again. I would defiantly go in voluntarily if I were you.

I told them though I am beyond fixing and to just leave me alone

The more you say you need help, they won’t help you. When you say you don’t want the help they don’t leave you alone. I’ve been there myself.

What annoys me is I told them without swearing or shouting at them
I was calm and clear yet they send half a dozen people over to my flat
