A couple of nights ago, I finally read the report that was written by the mental health nurse who assessed me at hospital last September [when I was sectioned after a major psychotic episode]. It shocked me, and I frantically typed my reaction into my phone notes. If you are so inclined, you can read them here:
i was once described as euthymic by a jr dr…whilst being admitted for a manic episode *shakes head* I always try and remember the reports are usually written by a lower level, inexperience dr and they make mistakes.
dont know if a hug can solve thisbut find one of the people youlove or crave and hug them and cry and do it some more then move forward
Hugs are always good. Sending a virtual hug to you!

I’m so sorry you went through this. Fucking nightmare!
The mental health worker who assessed me was very sweet and professional, but seemingly too easy to trick/too inexperienced to see through my Oscar-deserving performance. My fault entirely.. instead of being truthful (which possibly would’ve led to me getting some sort of help) I just wanted out as quickly as possible and bullshitted my way through the assessment to make that happen. I just told her what I knew she had to hear to release me. Ah, well. Hope you’re keeping well, B xx
Hey,
Unfortunately I completely understand that! Still, sorry you had to experience what you did. I’m okay. Was wondering if I could ask you a favour… I’ve written something that is either really good or total shite, I can’t decide. Would I be able to send it across to you somehow? I trust your opinion. But if not it’s more than fine, I won’t hold it against ya ;) Also sorry if this msg comes through twice, am on the Tube.
Not at all, it would be my pleasure! <3 contact@treacleheart.com
Thanks a bil! :)
