I called the mental health team for help but they have let me down!
She just said I will call you later!
I’m in crisis now!!!!!
I stupidly thought to ask for help!
Why did I bother!!!!!

Why did I bother!!!!!
I had not committed any crime, I was detained under the mental health capacity act by the police!
I was restrained, handcuffed and legs in straps. I was then handcuffed to a hospital bed, for about 14 hours!
I did try to do a runner when I went to the toilet, although there was a nurse with me at all times. And the police following me. I was still handcuffed!
But
I had not committed any crime!
I felt like a criminal!
I’m so embarrassed.
I was in so much pain, my wrists were so swollen I could no longer wear my watch. I was also surrounded by pillows so I couldn’t hurt myself!
By the time I was released I had so many pains and bruises!
After 14 hours of hell I went in to a mental health act assessment which I passed and then was released home!
TRIGGER WARNING, scars and bruises.
This was one of the worst experiences of my life.
I didn’t want to go to hospital, so the police came.
I was restrained for hours.
In the end I was handcuffed to a bed for over 14 hours!
I was in so much pain!
I was in a mental health crisis.
