She's been renting cars, losing them, sleeping in cars, basically on the run, threatening family members, doesn't recognize her kids. Homeless but has enough money for rent. I hope and pray they do go through with the forced medication and that it helps her come to some sort of normal life.

That is the only justification for an emergency treatment order injection, unless they have taken you in front of a judge to get an order for authorizing forced treatment. I have won two of those, so I have some experience.

I had very bad experiences with medication over past years and steadfastly refused injections (and hospitalisation in the first place: so that like you it was always under Section) right up to the hospitalisation I had early 2011. Now however - and it is because I'm on a very low dose which is exactly appropriate and doesn't zombify me - I accept injections and can see they genuinely help me instead of hampering. When I was discharged (May 2011) I was briefly on a Community Treatment Order but a Tribunal discharged me (June 2011) and this removal of constraint actually helped me wish to co-operate better and try the low dosage. I wish you well and feel sure things will improve, although probably there will always be ups and downs.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08330762675651029787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7607863253105913866.post-17635667427957381632013-10-17T19:17:27.719+01:002013-10-17T19:17:27.719+01:00Hi Cam,

I'm not comfortable posting it online though. The stomach pains have faded a lot the last couple of weeks. They deemed the pain to be either 'pain without medical cause' or my IBS being weird. Thanks for your concern, I'll be OK :)<br /><br />Katy xxxKaty Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13384403447580393959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7607863253105913866.post-86019991665343630002013-10-14T23:01:23.790+01:002013-10-14T23:01:23.790+01:00Absolutely shocking.

Did they think they were all in your mind? I see that nothing has changed since 2008 when my son was sectioned. I would never go to psychiatry for help again. My son is still traumatised by his experience in the British Mental health system. Hang on in there though and do not loose hope.
