    Hi @cupcake - that's dreadful, have you reported this to a member of staff? As Lou says, they should deal with it & keep you safe.

    Have just seen this post after replying to your original post @cupcake88 -  As Poppy says you need to stay strong, & stay in the hospital until you are certain that you will get the appropriate continuing care back in the community.
    If you don't feel the staff are doing anything, then let the consultant know tomorrow that you need to feel safe in the hospital. I hope you will just stay in your room for now, & that things quieten down. Hoping tomorrow is a better day. Thinking about you, xx

    Hi there every one I’m petrified i have just been threatened with a knife I’m not safe here at all 
    Hello @cupcake88. That sounds awful and I completely understand why you would feel unsafe.

    Have you let staff know what happened and have they done anything to try and make you feel any safer?

    As Chiarieds and Poppy have said, it's so important you stay strong and get your medication sorted out while you're there. Good luck and please let us know how you get on with the consultant.

    Hi @cupcake88 I hope you managed to talk to the consultant about how you've been feeling lately? It must've been very scary being threatened like that, have the staff been able to help? 

    It sounds to me as though you're taking really positive steps wanting to stay strong and keep going with your meds, that takes a lot of courage and determination- well done, I know we're all here to cheer you on.

    Have you got any activities planned for today, hopefully something as good as before Christmas?

    Hi every one I have been in such a bad place with my mental health after waiting 8 weeks with no nurse because my nurse of two years retiered I got given some one who I do not get on with and who is very mean I decided I want to take my own life today because I’m in such a bad place and did I get help when I called my community team no I got called a liar by my new nurse got told I lie a lot bout not taking my medication and that I ring the crisis team a lot which I won’t call any more I hung up on her and she hasn’t called back or got any help to me I’m in such a bad way x 
    Hi Cupcake. Sorry your having problems right now. Hopefully you have been listening to every one else on here who have been trying too support you.Because it was about this time last year that my nephew. Did take his own life. he was only in his 30's. And we used to talk about out problems with PIP-Social -Careers as at that time he not only needed on for himself but he was also expected to be his Dads main career... We don't know what he was thinking at the time. But I wish that I had been closer to him and made more of an effort to get him to come down here for a break. as we miss him like hell. Now that he's gone tough nothing has really changed for his dad or the situation that they were going through. Apart from that Social have got a little less Paperwork to do. So you can call it a Win. for Them.

    Do You Really want them too Beat you. I think that you Have got a Successful support Network. At Home and around You. And that you are going to use it to have a really good New Year 👍   Very best  of luck   .

    I'm so sorry to read that @cupcake88 - you really need to have teams whom you can trust to be better responsive. Please let us know when they call back, & if they were helpful. If things get too bad, as you know, you should ring 999 to stay safe my friend, xx

    Hi @cupcake88

    I'm sorry that you've been struggling again lately and are experiencing suicidal thoughts. It's a shame that the community team weren't able to help you, but hopefully the crisis team will get in touch again soon. Do you have any idea when they might call you back? 

    Always remember that we are all here to support you on the community, and we all want the best for you. I appreciate you coming back to update us on how you are getting along, and hopefully the replies on here help somewhat.

    As we have mentioned before, you can always contact Samaritans too if you want to speak to somebody, they can be reached on 116 123, and the Shout service can be contacted by texting "Shout" to 85258. If you feel as though you might not be able to keep yourself safe, you can contact 999 for immediate support. 

    How is your partner? is he with you at the moment?
