oh... Sukie... that sounds really horrible and humiliating... I'm SO sorry that you went through that much and still couldn't stop thinking about it -- i've not personally had an experience of being restrained, but I totally understand (and have experienced) the mental-replay of traumatic events -- I was with my dad when he passed away and his passing was the least peaceful and most terrifyingly painful (i don't even have words to describe even now)... and i replayed the moment of his death so vividly everyday for almost a month... it was agonizing and beyond words... My heart goes out to you. It'll take some time for it to stop, but that mental replay WILL eventually stop... Like Sue said, you've filed a complaint and doing that is a way of coping and the beginning of a healing process... Hope it'll pass and you'll feel a little better soon... You'll be in my prayers always...

Oh help - sounds horrendous - when I was very ill with depression this time last year - I was briefly sectioned under the Mental Health Act - though I put up absolutely no resistance and was no physically "handled" in any way - I was far too ill to care frankly - but there was no way I could leave the unit or go anywhere without somebody accompanying me - horrible, horrible - and it only lasted about 2 weeks but Suks you do have my very deepest sympathy. Try not to dwell on it though cos that won't do your mental health any good.Have you made a complaint - that is one positive way of ensuring nothing like this happens to others and may be a way of coping (god I hate that word "closure" - but you get what I'm driving at??)Sue xxx

I can't stop thinking about my experience last week (cut my head and ended up in A+E in with memory loss).The police thought I was an illegal immigrant or that I'd done something illegal and quizzed me for hours, they searched my pockets, bags and examined all my toiletries and spare underwear (poilceman shaking out my knickers and barking questions at me on a busy A+E ward Posted Image

). They even interrogated me over my shopping lists. I couldn't speak properly because I was scared. Also I got held down by 3 security gaurds and a needle stuck in my bottom when I tried to leave the ward. I know it wasn't personal but I feel hot at the memory. Anyone got any similar experiences to share?

I am sorry to hear that as well. I was once hauled into a small RCMP detachment in the southern Yukon for being an immigrant, having a beard, and hitchhiking back to where I was working (!). The cop, who years later shot and killed a local First Nation (Indian) boy who was razzing him, claimed my ID was false (it wasn't) just so he could give me a strip search and go through all of my pack, looking for dope. Of course, there was none. I guess I should be glad he didn't shoot me, too.I wrote the RCMP about the incident. So far, some 30+ years later, I still haven't heard back. (At least they didn't ship me back to The States for not having a car.)Mark

I've never been arrested, but I may be soon. We're being harrassed by a group of individuals who are stupid enough to think I'm a patsy. I'm not. I strike back. It would be different for me because I'm well known here and no one -- not even the authorities -- would dare mistreat me. They know I'd have it in the news broadcasts in record time. I'm sorry this happened to you, and I still think you should make a complaint and demand an apology.
