Hi Pip,
Sorry to hear about the situation you find yourself in.
May I suggest you get in touch with your local MIND, if you have one near by, as they have a wealth of information you may find of some help.
They could also offer a more personal form of support, or help put you in touch with an advocacy project that could offer you some support.
MIND would also be able to help you understand the nearest relative (next of kin) rule and the powers and rights they have related to your care and treatment.
You can find out if you have a MIND local to you
HERE The MIND website can be found
HERE Unfortunately we do not have the resources to be able to offer you a more personal support experience beyond the signposting that I and the other members have done.
I wish you well and I hope this is of some use.
Keith
