"I found A&E staff very understanding and..."

What I liked

I found A&E staff very understanding and caring and did not judge me,

On a postitive note some of the staff on days, student nurses nursing assistants and some nursing staff and the night staff were very caring and did listen and understood. it is a shame there is still the stigma out there about mental health.

Anyway i am in my home town, where Mental Health is understood I am getting the care i needed, the foundation trust that deal with Mental health have a great understanding of Mental health and personality disorders and very supportive.

What could be improved

Well I sadly have to say that i was addmitted due an OD as i suffer from depression I drove quite a distance to end it all meaning my own life, anyway you don't want to hear that.

I found A&E staff very understanding and caring and did not judge me,

but i did find that when i was in AAU that some staff were very caring especially the night staff of mental health issues

but found some staff on days quite negitive towards mental health i was told because i was being sick that it was my own doing because of the overdose, i felt I was being judge slightly as they did not know me, the sickness was due to acid reflex that i suffer from and which i take meds for normal, also for the nights i was there they had very little of my medication because i normal take 15 types of medication plus asthma medication, I thought this was quite poor for a big hopsital .

Also what i found really upsetting was hearing what was being said about me to a medical staff, near other patients , send her back to her home town to sort to her because of my mental health problems, yes i know i tried to take my life but people should not think your like the next person who done it.
