You have been to hospital after trying to harm yourself. You are probably feeling mixed up and unsure of yourself. This information is to help you seek advice and give you some support. We advise you to make an appointment to speak to your General Practitioner soon, and we may have contacted the local Home Treatment Team which is part of the mental health services. If contacted they should be in touch within the next few days. If you feel they would be of help your General Practitioner can refer you also.
If possible you should try to talk to a friend or family member for support. You may feel it easier to speak to a professional and we have included some contact details for you.
If things get too bad and you are in trouble you can always return to the hospital and we will try to help you.
