most ridiculous thing i read in a long time. laws of which country allow that? Can you get in touch with any patients' rights advocate or a psych from outside the hospital, any mental health specialist and get them to advocate this absurd case of forced lockup?

UK- if you're on a section 3 they review once a year and can extend it for another year at a time. I don't think advocates would help as I'm too desperate for everything to end

Wow, I am shocked... I don't know what else you can do? Except try to get a lawyer, or get in touch with mindfreedom or something, as I said?

I'm in a psychiatric hospital, have been for over 6 years and there's no sign of me getting out. I've tried all the medication, therapies, coping strategies etc offered to me and nothing helps. I have no hope of ever getting better.

I have 2 staff with me 24/7 within arms reach and no privacy in the bathroom. I cannot leave the hospital and all packages I receive have to be opened in front of someone. I can have visitors but I am watched through a door. I also will not be discharged for an unbearably long time, if ever and, even then, I'll still have all the same rules.

Is there any way I can realistically end my suffering?

I am in the UK if that helps.

Thank you
I've heard a story where someone choked intentionally on food, tho am surprised that it got as far as death https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-68277437
tho it is painful and ofc not guaranteed, hopefully u get out of that place
