Thanks for all the positive support - it really did help me. Reached a compromise really and they are (hopefully) going to discharge me tomorrow. It's complicated because I have a duty solicitor who's job is to win for their client at tribunals but I just wanted to exercise my right to appeal against my section (6 months!) and not actually go to any tribunal! It was causing me a lot of anxiety that I may have been in a courtroom-like situation trying to convince everyone I was ok.

They just need to sort out supplies of all the meds I need tomorrow really and I need to somehow reassure my mental health team that this time I intend to stay out of hospital!

Thanks again
