GP sent me to A&E. After 9 hrs locked in a room they sent me to a hub in St Pancras hospital. No transport. Saw a mental health person. Sent me home after 10 minutes speaking to me. I was suicidal . I had made one attempt in recent past. Told no crisis team support because I have capacity. Told ring crisis line instead. Rang crisis line .Told i have capacity and up to me to kill myself or not. Same as told by hub. Told twice different places. Seems it must be NHS policy that if you suicidal you get no help if you ask for help. Nothing like what the ads say on awareness days - ask for help. You can ask. But they will say up to you.
