Not a happy puppy
Well, as I kind of guessed, I am held prisoner at Shelton Hospital for now, being denied what is referred to as ''Section 17 leave" of the mental health act.
The power Psychiatrists have over people - based purely on their subjective opionion of who is deemed 'sane' or 'not sane' is sickening. Simply because I got angry and explained why, starting to rage in a very loud voice - I am 'insane'.
I explained what my triggers were. I explained that my father had died of lung cancer on the ward, that other patients were ridiculing me (because it helps me calm down to keep talking). Let alone the negligence I see, and how I stay up all night as I am too scared to sleep - for fear that I will become psychotic and loose control.
I could go on - but you get the idea.
Right now, I am down in Occupational Therapy trying to chill out to some music and decide what the next course of action is. I have an advocate and solicitor on the way at some point. Lets hope it amounts to something =)
