Admitted to hospital, suicidal. I felt the clinician in Emergency was extremely cold and gave me sedative, script & Drs Cert. & sent me on my way, despite my work colleague explaining the situation. On getting back to work & giving paperwork to boss, realised neither the script or Drs Cert were even for me.
On 2nd hospital attendance & complaint, I was admitted. Been on a waitlist to see a psychologist since the end of 2021 to now. Seeking help & not being able to get it contributed to the frustration, exhaustion and giving up. So being sent home was less than ideal.
I feel very angry. However, once admitted and moved the staff on the ward who I dealt with were lovely.
