"Didn't even take 2 minutes of their time to see if I was OK"

I was admitted on to the coity clinic. I was having very suicidal episodes and I was diagnosed with severe post natal depression.

I was put here, so I could be safe and recieve help but all I recieved was judgement and lack of empathy. I was often told by staff that I looked well, as a trained mental health nurse, I would hope they realise that mental health doesn't necessarily affect how you look. At this point, I hadnt showered in two weeks and I was just shutting myself in my room. 

I repeatedly asked for my PRN as I could feel a bad episode coming on but because I was able to chat with my partner and appeared to look OK, I didn't need it. I then proceeded to self harm just to release the anger and hurt I felt. They caught me doing this and did nothing. They did not even take two minutes of their time to see if I was OK. 

I am not an uneducated person, I know my rights. I'm a university student who unfortunately is suffering from pnd through no fault of my own and the "help" I have received has been detrimental at best. 

They discharged me at the end of the week, despite me having suicidal tenancies and basically I was left in the hands of the home treatment team who were very similar to the staff in this ward.
