I was on a ward last year at LGI Brotherton wing.
I had to leave after 4 weeks because of the benefit rules, I told a lie on the ward so they wouldn't make me stay and made it look like I was ok, the 1 thing that should be available is help with your finances to take the stress of sorting things out for you, I am now trying to get back on the ward for them to finish what they started for me.
Don't get me wrong the ward staff were brilliant. I have been close to suicide twice since leaving the ward. I have begged the nhs to get me back on the ward but it is easier to get in prison than get in hospital.
All I want is to get myself sorted by going back on the ward but the nhs is not listening.
