    Would agree that you need to speak to someone about her, maybe her boss?
    Good that you are being looked after and have had some rest x

    @cupcake88 I know things are really hard but think of those you love and the future you have planned with your partner 

    It isn't time to go anywhere other than urgent support get to a&e

    Or go to bed and cuddle up with those you love

    @cupcake88 - there's always hope, please believe me. After we lost our youngest daughter, & I can't begin to say how hard that was, my life took a very different path to that I'd imagined, & tho I would wish it different in so many ways, my remaining children give me so much joy; so much to live for.
    It's not your time to be with your Grandad; would he wish that? You have been let down very badly today, but you are far from nothing. I hope you know how much you mean to us all; we need you, your partner overall needs & loves you. Hang onto that, please. Your death won't help, you're voice in talking about mental health will. Stay safe my lovely friend, xx

    @cupcake88 I know how you feel I have been there its not worth it you have people who love and care for you and they would miss you you are a fighter you have come back from it before and you can do it again 

    Life is short enough stay strong get through the otherwise and take small steps to recover I have learnt in life you have to depend on your self to help yourself and get stronger from what you have said about your partner they have stuck by you and love and care for you  you can do this thinking of you and as always available if you need to chat ?

    Hi every one i attempted suicide again as I felt there was no help for me I spent the night in hospital there was no mental health hospital for me to go too any where in the country no beds any where and some places are shut due to having covid . So my team was told to contact me more the same nurse I can’t stand . She called me today and I told her how rude she is and she’s not welcome in my house and she said she has thick skin and I need a care co and I said no I need some one caring some one who enjoys there job and knows how to speak to people . She said she was coming out to see me Monday but I won’t be opening the door to her I don’t trust her nor do I trust me team any more . 

    Thanks for sharing your own personal stories with me and for all being my amazing friends who have been with me threw out my mental illness from home to hospital my friends on here have been amazing so thanks to you all xx

    Hi @cupcake88 - I'm so pleased to hear from you, but not like this. Please try to get your fight back so you can build up trust with your team. Tell them it makes perfect sense that you don't want a nurse in your home that makes you feel worse. As you say, you need someone who truly cares.
    You know how much you can help on the community; it's all the better for having yourself who has talked openly about their mental health issues, which then helps others. Just trying to say the community is all the better for having you as such a kind & considerate member, who gives valuable input; you're needed here too.
    You know how much you wanted to be home for Christmas, & I do so want for that to be a reality. Look after yourself, & tho I'm sorry it can be a fight, fight for the help you need so you can feel supported at home.
    Now, what are your plans for Christmas Day? Who will be cooking, & what have you decided to have? Mine is still a surprise, as my son hasn't told me what he's decided to cook. Thankfully he doesn't like sprouts either, so they won't be on the 'menu.' I'm just going to enjoy the company, & being looked after......only the 2nd time in more years than I'd like to mention that I haven't cooked a Christmas dinner. The first time was when I invited my next door neighbours as their oven wasn't working. It wasn't until they arrived that I thought what am I doing cooking for a chef, & his wife, who also worked in hospitality? Thankfully it went well.....phew!
    Remember, you can have a lovely Christmas too, xx

    Thanks for all the kind words I’m back in a n e again and there must be a bed some where in the uk . I will travel any where to get the help because if I go home I’ll end up dead because I just can’t keep my self safe and my partner can’t watch me 24/7 . 

    In hospital at Least you get the 24 hour support and the medication you need but I won’t go to a particularly hospital I was in before any where part from there I’m waiting again to see the mental health team but there’s a chance they could send me home again as there could be no beds again in the country then what do I do then if there’s no help again x

    Hi @cupcake88 - sorry you're back in A & E again, but if you get a bed somewhere (other than that horrible hospital), then as you say you'll get that all important care you're needing right now.
    If you do come home, then please do fight for the appropriate care you need. Could you also contact your GP to help with this?
    Thank you for your update, & please do let us know how you get on. I can't begin to imagine what you're going through, but, as you say, you too should reach out for help.....there is help my friend, & there's always hope. As you know, thinking about you as always, & I hold you in my prayers, xx

    Just a update every one they’re just doing the paper work now they have a bed for me on the ward up the road from the hospital but it’s a assessment ward been on it before you usually go for a few days and they assess you and see if you need to go on a long term ward or not  . It’s **** this ward and so boring and it’s very noisey but I’m lucky to get a bed considering the whole country has none I managed to get one literally up the road but like I mentioned it’s an assessment ward .

    Hi @cupcake88 - I hope you managed to get some sleep last night. Good that a place was found for you so close by even if it's an assessment ward. How are you this morning? xx
