I have been sentenced 6 months in a psych ward..
How do I get out of it? How do lawyers work? Any ideas?

Hey Guest,
Today, OFCOM launched an official investigation into Sanctioned Suicide under the UK’s Online Safety Act. This has already made headlines across the UK.

Did you break the law or are you being held for evaluation or for treatment? Depending on the reason, a lawyer might be able to help you.
My brother called the police, as he thought, I was trying to kill myself..I am non European as well
If trying to kill yourself is breaking the law..I dont know...I am held for treatment..a lawyer should be able to help, regardless of the reason..dont you think?..I dont know much about the law..just want to get out of here

You can probably try to get a lawyer, but it's probably easier to try and hide any depressive/anxious symptoms. Make sure you eat, sleep and communicate normally and properly when in the ward. And be positive and tell them you have pending stuff/work/friends to meet or see to outside.
I was convicted by making suicide device. I spend almost 2 years in psych yard. So, in my opinion you can only wait.

The only thing that comes to my mind is to try get help from the consulate/embassy of your country.

I found this tall bridge in Germany (like really tall) and tried to jump off it
Was sectioned in a german loony bin.
Spent a few months there. Tried to act normal but they were unimpressed and still kept me locked up.
Overall care was miles better than in Poland (my home country) and I wasnt constantly dissmissed, but...yeah
Shit situation

How did the bridge jumping fail? Did someone see you and stop you before you could attempt it?

Evidence is the path to the truth. Maybe.

More details are needed to give a good response. Under which law were you convicted? Did you talk to a lawyer? Did you try an appeal?
If you're just now asking about lawyers, I am unsure if you were convicted. There appears to be a non-criminal process under which one could be held. Is that what happened?

Doesn't exist... On paper.
Holly f*ck. And how being in prison can help? Why 6 months?
It's a shame to be a human...
Such a polish thing to do ( I am polish myself:) I wish I had the guts to jump and end this shitty existence

I'm a bit surprised of the unconstructive and cynical replies in this thread. Is everybody just assuming that OP is trolling?
Realistically speaking - there must have been more involved than just a suicide attempt. I've never heard of somebody being committed to psych ward for such a long time if they were just a danger to themselves. I think more realistic in that case would be at most a week to calm down. I actually know at least to people who were in that situation and none were put away for more than a few days.
If somebody commits a crime and the judge considers a mental disorder at the base of it and deems you legally insane then the judge will send you to a psych ward (for treatment) instead of to a prison (for punishment). The problem is that in the former case you'll be at the whim of your psychologists to decide when you can be released. And that indeed is very questionable. There have been a few cases in the media - most promiment was Gustav Mollath and Michael Perez.

Are you there on your free will , or my family or doctors orders, if you above age yiy can disgorge yourself if on a free will or another adult to pick you up. If it's by doctors orders you might have a problem. I was commited on my own s few years snd knew I could leave at anytime I wanted. 3 longest weeks of my life and they wanted me to do another week, hell yes. Not!!!
