Sometimes I boil over on Facebook. This is a random status update of mine after J told me a whole load of stuff about her treatment today, including a nurse and a doctor inferring that J might not need to be on medication.
She is currently hearing voices screaming at her to kill herself and has hallucinations that she is surrounded by spiders, she is depressed, desperate to kill herself, and failing that, craves self harm.
One of the reasons why we agreed to her staying on the ward for six months was so that they can get her pills right. Does this sound like they’ve got the pills right and that she should come home?
Her MHA Section ends on 16th April. She says as soon as it is lifted that she plans to go the main road and kill herself.
I want her to have a second opinion, but we barely get to talk to the covering locum as it is.
Stupid man. Silly new ward matron treating J as though she “needs to take responsibility”
We’re going in circles, and she feels totally invalidated and more alienated. And this is before we even get on to all the other things which are happening, every one bad enough to be a trigger. Not to mention the bullying from another patient.
Hopeless. In every sense of that word. Stupid place. Stupid Bradgate Mental Health Unit and it’s record for helping patients to kill themselves by neglect and failure of duty of care.
Fuck them.
