The staff made me feel like I had to have harmed myself to get help. They did not appear to take me seriously, because I have a mental health condition that means my emotions fluctuate a lot. I came to the hospital after having to talk several staff member into letting me go after telling them I want to harm myself fatally. I was signposted to some groups that will help other issues, but left the meeting feeling exactly the same as when I arranged to go to the hospital, plus being pretty annoyed that I had to wait 9 hours, 5 for transport, 4 in the waiting room, to be told theres nothing they can do, and to go think about what ive said today. They made me feel like i had to hurt myself to be taken seriously. Do not atyend this hospital for mwntal health as it is a joke.
