I have been in hospital for the night 4 times this year. I was sectioned for 24 hours last time, but got released before that time was up. I only got sectioned because I ran away from the locked A&amp;E ward and the police got involved. I hadn’t done anything originally except go for my safety because I didn’t want to hurt myself. 

I am so tired of going in circles, but also now so terrified of being in a psych ward again. even though I only had 11 hours there. 

My closest friend thinks more should have been done. Worried she thinks they should have kept me sectioned. I also think more should be done but I know there’s waiting lists for therapy. I’m already in therapy but evidently need more. 

Deep breaths and herbal tea don’t help my impulses? (I’m UK)

Any other ideas?
