Last night my depression got so bad to the point where I thought the only solution was to not be here, so I fashioned a noose but then stopped myself, had a bath, and asked my mum to take me to A and E.

I requested a 72 hour detainment under the Mental Health Act.  I spent two hours in A and E until we got referred to a psychiatric hospital nearby. I was assessed at the psychiatric hospital, and was told I wouldn't be detained.  Basically just gave me more diazepam and told me "good luck!"

What the fuck?

I feel like the NHS has really let me down.  I'm a suicidal woman and I needed detainment for fear I was going to hurt myself further. I came really close to doing it last night.  Now I'm researching a private route to see if seeing a psychiatrist or therapist would be better.

Sorry if this breaks rules but I just needed a rant. I felt like nobody cared about me or took me seriously
