I was in hospital last week because of an OD, I suffer really bad with night terrors so they gave me Diazapam. I woke about 4 am after a dream and went for a fag. Something happened in this time, aparently 3 hours went passed but as far as I was concerned I had just popped out for a couple of fags.
Then the next night the same thing happened and I went for a fag and and remember making my way back and I was drowsy but I didn't make it back to the ward. I suddenly realised that i was being dragged down a coridor with security behind me and on one arm and with an angry female doctor shouting at me because i knew my name?? I just said 'i do but this does not make sense'. Tightly grabbing my arm opened a door to a room and threw me in and walked off when I tried to escape and get back to my ward they had locked me in. They worked out who I was and security escorted me back to the ward I realised they had sent me to the mental ward, freaking they gave me a brew and another diazapam and i slept.
The next morning I tried to work out what happened but all i could find out was that they didn't believe I was a patient.
Do you have problems with nurses and doctors who don't realise that you know no idea what is going on and they just think you are being stupid and annoying, mb seeking attention. I don't know but I have a number of stories where things have happened that I can't explain and the health staff are angry at me. How do you deal with this or overcome this?

question whats a "fag" where you are?
its clear to me that your not talking the same language /wording we use here in NY because here a "fag" is slang for lesbians and gays which doesnt fit in with the context of your post, so out of curiosity and to make sure I'm reading your post right could you please tell me what that is where you are?
the same thing with your word "brew" here in NY a brew is beer, an alcoholic beverage you buy in a store or a bar. and here in NY the treatment providers (doctors) never mix alcoholic beverages with medications because it causes things like bad reactions, death and other problems..
yes theres treatment providers in the USA that dont realize when someone has a dissociative disorder. I dealt with many of these before I was tested and diagnosed with dissociative disorders....
sometimes some of my forgetfulness/not knowing what was going on was because of medication reactions..
maybe you can talk with your treatment providers about what happened and they can help you discover what the problem was that caused this, and then make a note on your medical/mental health files so that this kind of thing doesnt happen again for you.
