hi angel, you didn't state why they picked you up under the mental health act. were you out of control or upset? more info please if you care to share.
many times when i felt everything was working against me i later realized it was a higher power in my life trying to get my attention...since i wasn't paying attention to anything at the time. idk but maybe it will help us to better understand what's going on with you. i have replied at another forum to you...is it part of this problem too???
hope you will reply. we care about you, angel. you are not alone and there are those of us who have traveled down the road you are now on so we can understand why you are so confused and hopeless. hope is waiting for you though, as it did me. i found it by asking for help.
glad you are posting about what's bothering you....please stay in touch.

i stupidly called them cause i felt su, but they were so horrible and hurt me alot. but they are usually ok with me he was just a scum bag. hubby called yesterday and said my back was badly bruised and i am so sore. then i called my mate a cop, i know i have a great mate a cop, lol. she took me under her wimg years ago, so she advised needed to get it docummented, then went to cop shop and made a complaint, but i am scared he will get me now. they tried intervention but it didnt work and the cop told me his name so my mom said he must have a history cause they usually dont tell. but i was treated like a dog, wouldnt even let me use the loo
so its gone to the ombudsman but now he will get me i am scared

Does Ireland have an agency that can advocate for you, such as a mental health agency?

Angel, something positive can come out of this experience. Do you realize that when you reported this abusive cop you stood up for yourself? You need more of this kind of self love hun, you are so deserving of it. This is a good sign for you! Hang on through this rough time hun. It's always darkest before dawn.

Hi Angel,

I wanted to let you know that you were brave to call the police when you were feeling suicidal and I'm sorry that they treated you the way they did. They do that here in the States too. I work for a suicide hotline and when the police get involved they actually handcuff the suicidal person "for their own safety" they say. I'm not so sure about that. You can always call the Samaritans. They run a suicide hotline and following is the number for Ireland. +44 (0) 8457 90 90 90 its at the local UK rates whatever that means to you. But it is better to call a suicide prevention line because they try to help you de-escalate and calm down out of the suicidal mode, their last attempt would be to call the police and that's only in extreme emergencies, usually by people who have already completed some form of suicidal behavior before they called.

I know if you're feeling suicidal at times there must be a lot going on for you. Life must seem really hard right now. I want you to know that you were very brave to call the police, and to report the cop who abused you. You are also courageous to come here and talk. Know that I am here for you whatever the time or circumstance. PM me if you want my phone number so we could talk.

Love and Hugs,
Tara

Hello, Angel12! There's no knowing how many other hurting people you helped when you made that complaint. As scary as it is for you personally, documenting the abusive treatment meted out to you may prevent others from experiencing the same. That took courage, and you are to be commended. Thank you.

How true, Rohag...
We never know how our sharing will give others hope, a word or phrase may have a lasting affect on the hurting heart of another human being.
Especially one who cannot, for various reasons, share their own pain.
