Police found me around near the bus station and embarrassed myself basically in public. Now I'm in the psychiatric hospital unit and getting assessed. Should have plammed better, I am so imcompetent.

I'm sorry that happened.
You'll get through this though. It's just a roadblock.

I am sorry to hear this. Hope you will be ok and not long there.
What was it? Like you left the SN and someone contacted the police?

I was travelling to beachy head and my carers filed a missing report. I then caught at one of the buses leading to the cliffs. (Already went passed by accident because I was not looking which wasted time. Could have done it if not for that.

Honestly, the unit is actually fine. Might help I only have Autism and depression though so I am not getting treated as harshly as others would.

I'm surprised to hear that since they're generally difficult places for autistic people. But I am glad it is not as awful as it might have been otherwise.

I hope as unlikely as it may seem uou can either get something positive out of this experience or, failing that, make it through it as smoothly as possible.

if you're at or spent time at the eastbourne ward could you share what it was like? im paranoid my attempt would end similar to yours, and want to know what it's like / gather more info on it than the tiny amount that's online

You got to keep your phone? That was the first thing taken from me when I went in. I never read so many magazines from the 90s and never did so many puzzles with missing pieces in my life. I would have given anything for access to my phone. Also I hope you are able to get through it quickly

Are you under a conservatorship and required to live with them? Or have you been living with them by choice?

By choice, though I could not go to a semi-independence linving- even if I wanted to - for multiple reasons. It was the best option with what I had.
