thank god...someone else can deal with him...

thursday they had big meet and hosp discharged him with diagnosis of
anxiety disorder with depression with something else...social wokers
werent happy with him being discharged "to his family" (and neither was I) but he told them he would go to a B&B/go to spain....

he came home evening, had had diazepan so was calm. I let him stay on
sofa. dont see why i should pay hotel...let him stay on grounds he
agreed to go to spain. finally he called a friend in spain and
told something of what was going on, friend said come stay - but they
were going to their in laws 's for weekend but N could come and they would pick him up at airport.

fri he was stressed from morning, but i left him booking ticket. took
girls out to get euros, go to park, cinema (surfs up) etc... ix at
playscheme. eventually i called him and he told me he had cut himself
on purpose .....

i called the ward and gave them hell - how could they discharge someone
who does this? spoke to day hosp too.... his case worker called him
then called me and told me N had said he was fine bla bla...if he says he is fine he is fine. yeh right...

anyway it was unsuccessful slitting of wrist with vegetable knife and
stabbing of thigh....

today had to get him packed and off....so bloody hard work, he was
agitated, crying, literally clmbing up walls and radiators, hit things because the hamster had escaped,,, said
he could not go, called his friend, said he wanted to die,

fortunately his friends said look we will try to help you, but you
have to help yourself ... just come.

packing was each item me telling
him pack your socks. now trainers. now shirts. now trousers etcetc...

finally got him on bus to airport at 1230 and he has texted me to say he in
spain. phew.

now some reprieve....will await news from there. he has to get to
his city and speak to his dad. admit to things. and seek help....
