On Wednesday night I went out with my friends to the pub. They went home at 11pm and I stayed drinking til 2. I then didnt want to go home because I knew my husband would be mad as hell with me....so I called a cab and asked him to take me to a bridge so i could jump off. Obviously he didnt want to do that. So i asked him to take me to the hospital because i needed help. He was very kind to me and stayed with me while i talked to the Drs there. I asked them in my drunken state if i could be committed. What a mistake that was! I was taken to a hospital far away and put into the Mental-Health ward. I was so scared...I can't tell you. I dont know if any of you have ever been to a ward like that but it is NOT a nice place to be.. I was so frightened and sobbed non-stop for hours. They gave me pills in the end to make me sleep. No one could give me any answers about leaving this place and i was concerned that if I became too upset..they would section me. Thankfully I was allowed out today, after i convinced the pyschiatric consultant that i was no longer suicidal. She is organising for the Home help Team to visit me daily to give me some support. I think i got off lightly. But i will be watched from now on as i have a 9 week old baby and a 5 yr old to look after. I can't let them be taken into care. Very depressing thought. My husband and my dad have been tremendous through out this dreadful ordeal. I CAN NO LONGER DRINK ANY ALCOHOL EVER> I will definatly loose everything i have and will be put away in this Mental Ward for a long time. I will tell you this...If you are not mad when you go into these places...you will be by the time you go out. I was going out of my mind and Hell springs to mind.
Anyway, I am home now. I am with my babies again and i am soooo grateful to have this second chance...I have used them up now... Its time for me to grow up and be happy with my life.
thanks for reading this.
