What happends if sectioned to hospital

Well with the emails to my supports I have sent I am guessing there is a good chance of getting sectioned as refuse to go volunteer due to the treatment I get by going my self.

I really wish I could get the help I need by being volunteer but the hospitals always refuse help and I have ptsd due to past experiences of police and not sure what will happen if I do get committed.

As it is my supports have concerns over my safety hence been warned if I didn't get admitted on Friday (even though I went to the ED and them not wanting to help me I think things are getting to hard to handle mh wise

Do you have a couple of people in your support network that are closeby?

hi SJ, I would be getting your doctor to help out here and ask them to admit you into the hospital. Geoff.

GP finds I have exhausted all avenues of support incl Hospitalisation so wont help

Only people willing or able to support are my professional supports

hi SJ, I would be looking for another doctor because each one has their own views and may differ from your present doctor. Geoff.

Hey SJ

The forums are rock solid safe where our privacy is concerned as you know anyway

If I can ask you.....do you have a couple or even one person that you can lean on in this difficult time?

you are not alone

My Best for you

Hi SJ;

What I understand from what you've written, you're not satisfied with treatment options in the psych ward you've been in previously?

Or is it your expectation of what treatment you'll receive as a voluntary patient as opposed to being scheduled? I don't understand the difference, could you elaborate please?

I was admitted by MH workers this year but due to some insight re my condition and no violence to speak of, they didn't see me as an absconding risk or a danger to others. Is this what you mean?

I don't know if you're still around as you haven't posted for a few days. I hope all's well and you've received the help you need.

Kind thoughts;

Sez
