@Gottahavefaithx if you turn up and say i need to be here 1 night but no further details it will go two ways, one - threy will peg you as not really needing help and discharge you same night.
Two - the think its mental health bring the raid team in (maybe called somethkng else in your area) and then bam its on you NHS record.
I just dont want you going in thinking its easy to just be in one night thats all regardless if its mental health or youve done something to yourself. The mental health wards in the UK arnt that bed so if its help you think you need then maybe thats something to discuss while your there.
I thought i was going to be in a few days. That first 72hr hold turned into a 28day section 2 and then a section 3, i spent 2 months in hospital. Came out was taken back in within a week. So yes my details are flagged as mental health, if i was to turn up there now, questikns would be asked into my mental state. Its funny tho because im back in work taking patients into the ward that held me and also the AnE i was brought into for suicidal ideation.
