"My cmht have ignored my wishes to be admitted voluntary"

About: Shropshire Community Health NHS Trust

(as the patient),

I feel my cmht has repeatedly ignored and found ways to block me getting any support I have been told to drink water and have a fag when I needed and asked for help. I have also been told to wash my hair in washing up liquid when I am unable to leave the flat due to being weak from not eating and poor self care.

I am being told I am choosing to not do things for my self after being diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety. They say you have support at home I asked where. Then home visit on Wednesday at 10 am and no follow up and will leave if I am in bed. Were they to know I have been for the past week having pains in my stomach from not eating. They contact the gp who then has delivered a massive box of laxative sachets if I wasn't so ill it would be hilarious not eating and they want to give me the runs so its fags and water laxatives and washing up liquid for me.
