Agree, no help at all.
MissOops was told that if things get out of hand with our Nephew that she cares for she should ring 999.
How can you do that?
Knowing that someone is in such anguish that they lash out and you call the Police ?
But if she thought he would then be accessed and given correct pills, then she would do it, but he won’t, he’ll be locked up until he calms down and the sent back home ( that what his GP has said).

I totally agree Allsorts. It is very hard. Impossible at times. An awful situation,

If someone has a diagnosed condition, such as say, bi polar or BPD and they behave erratically and confrontational and are twice the size of you, how do you cope? Walk away seems hard because they can't help it but to stay you are the recipricant of all their frustrations and anger and it's frightening . There is no help out there. You're on your own.
