I’ve been going through some issues which as affected my mental health and it’s got to the point where I’ve started self harming myself. I have hurt myself twice this week and I still want to continue and the health treatment team and my key worker doesn’t seem to help and I was asked what help would I like I said I feel I’d get help by being an informal patient voluntary into hospital as I will feel safe and not self harming or take overdose on paracetamol but the home treatment team have categorically said that won’t help and can’t stay in Hospital forever but I never said forever and they reakon that therapy will be better but I know for a fact therapy won’t work and I know hospital will but Home treatment team won’t listen till it’s to late.
I do need to get help as I wonna be in a better place and be able to go back to work but this won’t happen if they just gonna do therapy even friends of mine work colleagues and my doc have said therapy won’t work and I’d be best off in hospital. Because I’m still a risk to myself and I don’t feel safe atm my key worker and home treatment team didn’t even bother to refer me to safeguarding team it only when my doctor called me to say that she said she was concerned because I don’t feel safe and that I’d self harmed again and want to know why I wasn’t referred to safeguarding team I said because my key worker and home treatment team didn’t do it, so know she has made the referral to the safeguarding team and now I gotta wait for a call from a psychiatrist.
