Method I’m done and outta here!!

[checkouttime]

Hi!! So I was found sat eve by police, been in physical hospital since sat, home today, luckily mental health team are shit and I convinced them it was impulsive, so I wasn't detained. I stupidly turned my phone on to use torch, and apparently I didn't know this but it alerted police to the signal mask my phone had connected to, so it gave them a rough area to search.
the consequences have been hideous, i was missing for over 24hours, it went int the local news, and now a load of people are pissed at me for worrying them!!!
I really now have to knuckle down, not get so bloody impatient and just wait for Sn to arrive!
so my advice to anyone sloping off to CTB turn phone off well in advance of arriving at location and do not turn said phone back on! Lesson learnt

Sim Card out is also a good idea.

Welcome back

 

[Isadeth]

I'm so sorry for your misfortune of being found when you didn't want to be. How are you holding up? Are you doing okay? ♡

 

[Cherrypea]

Glad you are back home now x

 

[nitroautnz]

Im sorry it didn't work out for you, knowing you really wanted that

 

[Aap]

I'm sorry you didn't have a good experience. This is not the first, or second, time. Each time has followed the same impulsive path.

Glad that you are ok and not in a ward.
What is a signal mask, did they already see that you were missing and pinged your phone?

I wish you well!

 

[GoneGoneGone]

good point she must be from europe, UK most likely, for some reason most of the members on SS ar from the UK

Tbh I feel like other countries dish out many more meds than the UK. And the NHS seems unhelpful, from users' own accounts and experiences.

He probably meant signal mast.
It's the antenna used to transfer phone connections.

Nurse T, how did the police know to look for you? Did someone report you missing?
Just want to cover all bases incase I need to make a quick exit.

Yeah no I understand that, but the police would have to know to look for OP. They don't just ping random people's phones for no reason and track them down. Someone would have had to tell the police they were concerned about the person for them to then go and ping their phone.. see what I mean?
So my question is, if the OP only expressed their plan on here - has someone else on here rang the police on them?
Or has it come from somewhere else?

Particularly in the UK, the police can't do cell site analysis without a very good reason - unfortunately tracking down suicidal people isn't a 'good' enough reason unless there is real proof of potential harm. (If the police pinged every suicidal person's phone, they'd never have the time/ money to do anything else).

PS. I'm not advocating this, but I've found if you need to use your phone as a torch or what have you then putting it on flight mode before hand will work.. or potentially take the sim card out. It won't connect to a network mast then.

I can only go off what the OP said^^^^


they can still find you if your phone is off with the sim card in. If you didn't want to get found you need to take the sim out.or just dont take your phone!!!

 

[Sir_nihilist]

I wish she had access to SN or death bag. Everyone deserves right to peaceful exit.

Ooh I always thought flight mode was a safe option

 

[Nohopeinhell]

Oh wow.

Wondering also why the police tracked you using a phone mast because my elderly gran who has dementia and went missing in the night had her phone with her and they couldn't even track her because they said it would be 48 hours before they had permission do that. Im in the UK also.
