"Mental health care in the ED"

Recently I went to Midland ER for the 1st time to source help for my MH issues &  pain. I have never utilised the public health system due to watching two close relatives suicide over the last ten years.  I also have other illnesses such as serious and widespread chronic pain which in turn correlate to my PTSD (replication of symptoms) and level 2 autism. I am a professional with a degree and a postgrad in psychotherapy and an accredited protective behaviours practitioner. 

I am feeling very worn out, exhausted and in terrible pain, suicidal which I why I went to midland ER. I was tested for my physical issues (I am diagnosed with fibromyalgia & chronic pain and while I was waiting for the extra results, a psych nurse came to speak to me, I had told them very briefly that I was autistic and had ptsd and felt suicidal and was in burn out. They said there is no such thing as autistic “burnout” and I felt would not give me the slightest time to explain in my very despairing state. They said I had to go home now. 

I felt the Nurse's physical presence was overbearing & dismissive. They spent a few minutes- no more and then I recall advised me I was making it up. This is the first time I felt bad enough to go to hospital. Only at the advice of my long term psychologist. I then said something I shouldn't have - “that they had no effen idea what they were talking about” as the nurse walking out (I used the actual swear word) I feel I said it in a quiet voice, did not move from my bed or, in my opinion, be threatening in anyway.

The nurse called a code black which apparently meant that I was being violent. At this stage I saw the number for something called DASH as I was incredibly confused and even just wanted my physical health issues to be looked as I was in excruciating pain all week. during the initial consultation, I felt the Dr was thorough and had suspected more investigations and results in which is what I was waiting for before the psych nurse came to speak to me. I felt their commencement of the conversation was cold, absolutely not Trauma informed and I recall said they would be discharging me right now. I ask, well can I speak to the other doctor or a Psychiatrist. 

My close relatives both suicided like I mentioned and I was in shock that they did not appear to care about me. Like I mentioned I did swear, I told them they had no f****n idea what they were talking about. I recall I did not raise my voice nor did I move from my bed even an inch as I was frozen in shock. I was then forcibly removed from the hospital by security staff.
